Hi YJQ, Well, I think it's very interesting to learn different languages... For me neither to catch words in films nor for work.. But it's a means of communication. Personally I want to have friends from different places in the world, then we need a common language to understand each other. Moreover, for me English is my field of study because I studied it for about 7 years as a speciality and I'm still studying it, because I want to improve it more and more.. To use a language like a native speaker is almost difficult to reach, and too many researches cofirmed this except for some cases with some coditions like starting learning in childhood, being exposed to the target language in its native environment, motivation etc..though its an aim for me to reach a native-like performance and to communicate smoothly with English native speakers having different dialects, this ,I think, needs a lot of practice.. hope u did not get bored from reading this =) bye

first you need to learn how to write. =) you know grammar and stuff.
