keeping diary is beneficial Until now, English listening and speaking are still the big problem for me. Of course, it is better than before. Although I keep on practicing my English by listening radio and watching some TV series such as TED talk and something like that, there are still conversations between speakers from non-English native countries. Perhaps it is so called neck period. So, I have to force myself to improve my English by all means. Keeping diary maybe help me a lot, at least help me to organize some sentences fluently and smoothly. ----- Who can tell me how long it is for the bottleneck period in learning English? Thanks a lot
