How to learn English well.

Well, I don’t know how you all feel, but I find English really difficult. There are just so many new words to remember. My problem is that I can’t remember all the new words. I’m so worried about it. How can I improve my English?

Don’t worry, Li Ping. I think it’s very useful to make word lists for different topics. For example, you can make lists for fruit, vegetables and animals. Then you can review them whenever you have time. The more you review, the better you will remember!

I’m learning English and I feel frustrated. English grammar rules are really confusing. Sometimes I know all the words in a sentence but I still can’t understand the whole sentence. I become nervous when I speak English, too. What should I do?

Don’t give up, David. As for grammar rules, I’ve used pictures and tables to help me, for example with verb tenses. I’ve also tried to put difficult structures into songs, but I think the best way to remember grammar rules is to use them. These methods work well for me. You can have a try.
