Quick update. Am I back?
It's been a while since my last entry. I feel kind of ashamed for such delay. I guess I was not comfortable enough with an idea of making myself write something on a regular basis. Aside from that, things have been just great.
Another 8 months went by and I feel significant improvements in my English. I finished Harry Potter book series and have read another 8 random books or so. For the first time I had a pleasure of reading a book in English while my friends were forced to wait for the translation of this book into Russian. Unforgetable experience :D Now I want to start reading the Witcher series since I've watched a walkthrough on YouTube and was just blown away by the game, its story and characters. This book series might be a bit complicated for me just yet but I hope I'll get through :)
I still listen a lot. Maybe even too much. It's YouTube mostly, like 2 - 5 hours a day and it became a part of my daily routine. Now I can watch pretty much everything I want and am able to understand at least 90% of what is happening. I finally started to feel like I'm grasping the language and *(am?)* getting more comfortable with it. It inspires me to go on, to listen more, read more, to improve my English and enjoy the process. It feels like all these investments finally start to pay off. Of course, I know that I still make a lot of mistakes :)
I guess it's time to wrap it up. This time it took me way less effort to write this entry :)
And by tradition: let the next 8 months be as cool as these ones have been.
Until next time.

What have I learned for 8 mounths(?)
Hello, everyone!
I think that I don't need to introduce myself, at least for now. I'm just a guy who decided to start learning English back in July, 2017. So long it's been an extremely fun journey and I'm glad that I've started it. Here I'll be writing something, mostly for myself just for practice and putting me out of my comfort zone. Without using Google Translation, dictionaries or grammar books. Man, I really want to check few things out already :D Well, here we go.
To be honest I can not say that I was "learning" English for all that time. What did i do, then? Well, just 2 things: listening and reading. Mostly, the first one :D Lazy ass is here) I've read some stuff about grammar and google something the most curios for me but not so often, though. It turns out that in one day I just stopped progressing, or my pace became very slow. Or I'm just thinking up) Anyway, it's been too much "inputs" so I've never spoken with anybody in English cause I don't have anyone to practice with. Moreover I hardly even wrote something cause I didn't have any reasons to. But now the time has come to fix that up.
So what have I learned, then? Well, as for my listening skills I've put so much "effort" to - I'm satisfied. At least for 2 - 3 hours a day I have a pleasure to listen/watch to something on Youtube. Let's plays, travel-blogs, anything. I've open the whole new world for myself and that world became the significant part of my life. As for reading, about 10 books had been read. There are still some problems with that, like too many unfamiliar words or phrasal verbs and so on but that's ok. By the way, Harry Potter is not the "easy book" as they say, at least for me =D However, now I have the opportunity to absorb new information through a different language, maybe with mistakes but that doesn't matter. The fact that I can read an article without having a panic attack is the thing that inspire me to keep it up and makes me happy, already. At last I've learned that exploring a different culture could be such a fascinating experience. Let the next 8 months be the same.
Until next time =)
P.S. months* Such a silly mistake
