First day on Italki This is my first time using a language learning platform online. I've been learning English for though out my student life but the result didn't come out well. When I was a student many years ago, my teacher only taught us the exam skill. I can finish a reading test very fast and have a high mark, but usually I don't know what the article really talking about. I traveled to London two years ago, and I found that I'm afraid of speaking English. I can't even do some daily conversation because I'm afraid of making mistake. I know I need to change, so after all this years I focus on learning English again. This time, not for the exam, is for myself.
