I am not a native speaker of english .So i use mylot training my english . I am lucky that most of words i said can understanded by others . A friend of me, come from US told me that sometimes i know you are wrong ,but i dont know where is it ,but i sure that a US will not say that. So i know that we have not the talents of a native speaker . And are u learning one of languages? Do u think its hard that learn another language? Let us try our best.

You are definatley off to an amazing start . English a hard language to learn, just like any other, and it takes time and practice. I am trying to learn japanese .. and its hard and confusing. If you need any help learning english though, I would be more than happy to assist you in any way that I can. Good luck with it! And keep at it!

I've the same question with you! and i'm a Chinese.
from 11 years old, i began to study English. and after my gradution as a postgraduate, i found i still don't know what to say and i can't understand a foreigner is talking about.
what a pity.
a year ago ,i started to froce myself to use English in daily work.i think it works, but my english is still not good enough.
i usually some Europeans can say lots of Languages, Why can't I?

Personaly I think it is hard to learn another language.For some it is very easy.But,I see that you are in China.If I even just came to your country for a vacation I would have enough respect for you and the other people of China to learn your basic language.You are still in China and have not spoke of visiting here and you are trying to learn english.I have to congradulate you and say that I will be proud to be your friend.I have sent you a friend request.There are people living in this country from other countries that refuse to learn english,but they expect us to accomadate them by learning there's.This is mostly spanish.Again congradulations friend.

i think it is not hard to learn other language especially if you have a courage to learn that language. Although it will take time, but, as days pass by you will learn that language pretty much. The important is that you should have the courage and the willingness to learn... thus patience and practice makes it perfect...

It is really understandable that you don't speak English as fluent as the Americans because it's not your native tongue. You don't get to use that everyday compared to your native language which you've been using since you were a kid.
With regard to your question, of course, it is hard to learn another language especially the languages that are really different from yours. My native language is Filipino. But English has become a part of our curriculum since kindergarten so I'm kinda used to it. But I know I'm not really fluent in English yet.
Practice makes perfect. Read a lot and watch American shows. You won't only learn more about grammar but also you'll get to be more familiar with how they pronounce it. So far, I think you're doing good enough. All you have to do is to work on tenses and articles.

English grammar and proper usage of tenses.

No it's not impossible to learn a new language. It is certainly difficult but not impossible. A little of patience and devotion put into the language will make things easy. So just learn the new language with full devotion, you will see that you will understand at a faster pace :)

Friend you are right, by speaking and writing person improves lots of english, earlier i was very poor in english but after i joined mylot i have learned lots of new words. By practice a person can improve lot, you don't need to go to college to improve english. If you watch television you too can improve english as you learn lots of new word and make vocabulary too.
I remember days when i was very shy and don't speak english but i improved lot. I used to talk in front of mirror and record my voice and listen to improve next time. I also used to write eassy to improve.

Yes, I agree that it is not easy to learn the language from different country.. You really need to work hard for it... Speaking English, I just learned it from school here in the Philippines... People here in the Philippines are trying hard to speak fluently in English since this is the 2nd languages that really need to learned.. Honestly speaking, sometimes I know that I commit grammatically errors.. But I'm trying my best to correct it... Just keep on speaking and practicing English.. As what they have said, "practice makes perfect"!

To learn a language, we have to be in their environment. Now, you want to learn English, you have to be in a environment of speaking English; listening to China International Radio (English Section ), Watching English Movies,reading English newspaper are some of the ways.
Mylotting is another way of practicing your writing skills.
Happy mylotting !

I'm not an English native speaker too, and I'm trying to improve it, as I'm studying another foreign language so I'm worried about "to loose" it.
Apart internet I try to watch movies in english and listen music (reading and... singing... the lyrics).
