How I'm learning English While I have been learning English I have tried several ways of studying. Some of them gave a good results. For instance, I spent a lot of time for grammar. I had been reading grammar rules 1.5-2 hours everyday. Finally it gave good results. My reading very well. Which problems did I meet? Because of, word-formation and clause construction ways are differ in English and in my native language. In the beginning, it was hard to remember obligatory order of words in the sentence. The second issue was a pronunciation. Sounds in English and in my native language are differ. And physical way of sound-making is differ too. To be continued.......

Why is English difficult? As I have heard English isn't difficult. The grammar rules of English language are very simple and clear. Nevetheless people spend a lot of time to learn it. Why? What is a problem? I'm going to describe some of them ( I gess, I will sound my own ones ) : 1. Prepositions. They are the worst thing in English. There are no one definite ules with them. The number of exeptions are more than number of rules. The have feature to change the meaning of the verbs fully. It changes the hole meaning of the statments. Terrible !!!! 2. "Multi-meaning" of the words. Almost all words have more than 3-4 meanings. Which of them is used at the moment depends on the context of the conversation. It is very difficult for non-native-speakers to remember all of them and get used right one. The next, the same word can be used as noun, verb, adverb or adjectve concerning if it place in the clause. Terrible !!! Don't be offended with me. I mean "terrible" not for estimating the language. I mean it is terrible to try remember all these nuanses at the moment of listening or speaking. And I think each language has his own "charmings" Good luck everyone how studies foriegn language :):):)
