Learning the second language I’ve been studying English since 2017. For me, reading in English isn’t so hard. However, I need to improve my listening and speaking skills. I’m fluent in Spanish, but in English I feel that my progress isn’t as fast as I’d like to. Every day, I read a small text in English and try understand it. Then, I read the same text in Portuguese or Spanish and I compare two languages. I also study English with help of an application with writing, oral and listening exercicies.

Great job! In English, when describing the difficulty of something , use the word "difficult" not "hard". We use the word "hard" to describe a physical characteristic of an object. Eg: "The rock is hard" "A diamond is a hard stone". We use the word "difficult" differently......eg. "Math is a difficult subject" "English isn't difficult"
