Study English


We have to face different stresses in different period. In this period, I consider studing English in my uppermost stressor.
When I arrived at the airport in Chicago one years ago, I found that I had forgotten almost all the English things that I had learnt in school. I feel like deaf and mute in this strange city. I don't know what people say, and how to express myself. Whatever I want to do, I have to ask my husband to go with me as an interpretation. I'm very despairing.
I think English is a totally different language system from Chinese. The tense, the structure of a sentence are so different. It sometimes takes me a long time to figure out the tence and the sequence of a sentence that I shall say. The vocabulary is another problem, usually after I have memorized a new word for severl times, I still foget it in a few day. Oh! What shall I do?
For me, the experience of English study like a circulation. Encourage myself-work hard- little advancement-find more difficulties-depression, then cheer me up again then depression again...... I think there will be no ending of this circulation. It will circle again and again in future. One day, all these little advancements will make a huge progress. That's the day!
Keep going!

I think you have a good attitude towards your language learning -- it does take time and goes through cycles. Just remind yourself that you are improving everyday.
