Yesterday I learned some words from Raph at Smart English. Some of those words are new to me, and others I think I must have studied but now have forgotten.
I am not sure about whether, after studying for a few months, I will command the skill and be able to talk with native English speakers. I am a little bit nervous when talking to foreigners. I confirm that SE is a good school, but I have no confidence. I do trust Judy’s advice of coming here daily to study English, so I tell myself to insist and that maybe I will be strong in English someday. I thing that studying English is just like planting a new tree in the soil: striving to achieve it.
