How I learn English I'm self-studying English so I spend most of my time in front of my computer screen watching How I met your mother, trying to find some good idioms and expressions. It is an effective way to learn but I still can't speak as fluently as I expect. Another skill I'm studying is writing. I find newspapers are useful source of words and expressions. It helps me a lot in improving my writing. I also read English novels (I'm trying to isolate myself from Vietnamese actually), the one I'm reading now is "Eat pray love", this is my favourite kind of book so i'm studying and enjoying myself at the same time.
