Wondering About My Methods For Learning English Hi. I've been wondering lately if I'm really using the right methods for learning English. First of all because I feel like I'm not improving my speaking and I struggle a lot to include new words in my vocabulary but it's not easy at all. Second because every time I try to speak by using my vocabulary (which is rare because lately it's been difficult to find someone to talk with), that I also use for writing, I can't remember all the words because everybody know we don´t have too much time to think when we are speaking as well as we have when writing. I'm sure there is no other way to improve my speaking skill instead of speaking, of course. My methods are by watching series in English and with subtitles in English every single day. This way I can learn new words and improve my listening. However, it's been a little difficult to be motivated when we can't see a real improvement.

Should I use it or (he/her) for animals? I think I should use it only for objects or that kind of things. But I've heard some people using it when talking about animals. Which is the correct?

What is the best way of using my new vocabulary in a conversation?

Lately I've been a bit upset because I realized the vocabulary that I use in a conversation doesn't change even if I'm always learning new words. I can use that new words when I'm writing, but when I'm speaking I just can´t remember and not even using that.

What is the best way of using my new vocabulary in a conversation? Do you guys have some advice?

Getting Stuck In A Conversation I've been studying English for a long time without give up. I'm always trying to add some new words in my vocabulary by watching series and movies in English and subbed in English. However, when I have an opportunity to talk to someone on Skype (which is rare), sometimes I feel stuck in the conversation and I can't remember the words that I know and that I use when I'm writing or even reading. I wonder if this is normal once we get some level in any language study, or if there is some problem in my learnt method. Does anyone else has been faced that problem?

Dog Waits Two Weeks in a Balcony For Its Owner That Was Murdered I was reading the news when I realize an interesting article: A dog was waiting in a balcony two weeks for its owner who was murdered in Houston, a state of Texas, in USA. The man was called Hatem Abdu Harbid and he was 54 years. The neighbors were affected because of the dog's reaction which was still waiting for its owner for more than two weeks. Because of that, they were giving food and water to the dog daily. In the end, the brother's victim has adopted the dog. This is great because that type of behavior show us how loyal the animals are with us. Generally, that animals only wait for food and love and are always willing to give love and happiness in exchange. It also shows that animals have a pure heart and are very nice the majority of the time.
