Studying hard makes no good...in japan i've studied english for about ... 16 years. it sounds so long. you must think i am so-oooo good at english, like a native speaker! but i'm not. actually. it's terrible... we study english 6 - 10 years in japan, from junior high school to college. it's surprising that most of us can't speak english....isn't it? even we'd been studying hard. what a waste time and enegy!! i don't know why... but this has been really happening in Japan. these days i've been working so hard. much harder than i did....to get out of here! these no-good-waste-time-cycle. i'd tell my friends the way i did....how i learned. better way to learn english. anyone know how to get out of here? please tell me. it helps me so much.
