The problems I have when I learn English
The most difficult problem，I think, is word matching. I often make a mistake in word matching due to the custom of Chinese word matching. For example I will say "meet a problem" when i want to express "have a problem". It is because that Chinese often use the phrase: 遇到（meet）问题(problem). Second is the precise meanings of the synonyms. I was using a bilingual dictionary since I began to learn English words. A few words were given the same meaning, such as accurate, precise and exact will be translated to 准确. The dictionary did not tell us in which situation the word can be used.So I use the monolingual dictionary rather than bilingual dictionary now. Grammars and words is the weak problem for me.

Problems I have learning English
The most difficult problem, I think, is literal translation word matching. I often make a mistake in translating from Chinese to English due to the Chinese practice of "word matching." For example I will say "meet a problem" when I want to say "have a problem". It is because that Chinese often use the phrase: 遇到（meet）问题(problem).The second problem is learning the precise meanings of the synonyms. I've been using a bilingual dictionary since I started learning English words. A few words with the same meaning, such as accurate, precise, and exact, are translated as 准确. The dictionary does not explain different usage of the words. So now I use a monolingual dictionary rather than a bilingual dictionary. Grammars and vocabulary are the biggest problems for me.

yes, Vasyl. I agree with you. even Chinese people should take a long time to learn writing, and remember thousands of characters before. And there were many literacies in the past.Now it is earlier to type them with pinyin on a computer. Once the Chinese speakers learned the pinyin rule that was only take about one year or less time, they can nearly write an essay on a computer.

What you need is determination and good English learning tools such as collocation dictionary and thesaurus. In my opinion, it is unnecessary to have a language partner who is an English speaker. A good English learner sometimes could be beneficial to interact with.
