We use borrow to explain we don’t own the object. 
For example: I am borrowing a dress from my sister.
We use lend to explain that the object belongs to you, but someone is using it.
For example: I am lending my dress to my sister.

Consistency is key; make learning a daily habit. Set small goals, avoid random efforts, and gradually increase your efforts. Keep it enjoyable to stay motivated. Techniques like learning phrases, embracing writing, and talking to yourself help.

Writing is a powerful tool for conversations. If you dislike writing, use technology like typing. Talk to yourself in simple terms; it improves pronunciation and confidence. If you enjoy reading, read familiar content aloud for better pronunciation and facial muscles.
