I used a lot of sites where I comunicated with other people in english but they knew english very poorly so I didn't care much do I write it all perfectly. Now that I'm here I'm trying to improve english again, since I knew it very well at school (4 years ago). I only didn't speak english well but I was good at understanding, grammar... Now I feel like im forgeting it, since I'm only watching movies, and it doesn't take much just to understand what people are saying. I hope this site will motivate me to get better. What is your native language? Mine is Serbian. Do you have trouble with english?

@frenki Pronunciation is easier in Spanish, but I´d say grammar is easier in English.

English is the only language that I even understand. I took Spanish in college, but after a few years I have almost forgotten everything I learned. The trouble with English and I think why it is hard for some people is because there are so many meaning in the way a word is used, Also, I don't know about other places in the world, but In the US people use a lot of slang when they talk. I could see how this could be confusing to someone trying to learn English.

Yes we have slang too, I don't think its a problem. Also in some part of my country we have accents that even I cant understand. And we have "padezi" (changing the word that depends of meaning the sentence) and unlike english we say verbs different if you are a boy or a girl. So english is not even that hard language, but it just takes some time to learn it properly and some people don't care, since they can comunicate only with basics.

my native language is Jakarta, I don't know exactly how many languages there are in my country, because English is an international language for us.
