Learning a language comes with many challenges. English was the first foreign language I learned, and I faced many difficulties throughout the journey. Although my English is still not perfect, I’ve made progress. The hardest part for me was becoming familiar with vocabulary. It wasn’t easy to memorise new words, so instead, I decided to read as much literature as I could. When I came across the same word more than once, I looked it up in the dictionary. I thought checking every unknown word might make reading boring, so this way, I kept it enjoyable. Another big challenge was listening. It felt like a nightmare because I couldn’t understand what people were saying. At first, I tried watching videos with subtitles—in English. I kept listening, even though it was frustrating, because I didn’t fully understand what they were talking about. So far, these have been the most difficult parts of my learning journey. But I’ll keep going and continue to learn more and more.
