"try everything-wise"???
Lindsey: So, I guess, how do you like it here? Emma told me that you used to live in Arizona, and from what I know Arizona and Maryland are totally different climate-wise.
Christy: haha, try everything-wise. I can’t believe how green it is here all the time, and cold!

I have decided not to study English for the exams
In fact, Studying English is enjoyable to me these days.
At school, studying English was a chore. Although I got high scores, It was boring.
But nowadays English fascinates me and gives immense joy.
It´s not for the exam. I just want to improve my English skill and communicate with many people around the world.
That´s my desire not anyone else.
So I decided to stop torturing myself by studying English for the exams.
To do so, I started listening many podcasts in English, watching the youtube videos in English and writing a notebook entry on italki every day.

I´ve heard that becoming Interested in the culture of the language is a very effective way to learn languages quickly.
Unfortunately, I´m clueless about American or British culture... I hope to find something interests me as soon as possible.

Speaking in English
I'm trying to use English on a daily basis.
It's not easy but It makes me build up the familiarity with English.
So, I often feel my brain is overloaded...
I've heard that even advanced students with high English test scores have difficulty with speaking English.
I can absolutely understand them.
To date, I have been studying English for about 10 years at school, I totally have no idea how to speak English.
I'm clueless about the real and spontaneous conversation...
It's because the education which provided at Korean school doesn't give us the chance to speak.
There are many myths surrounding learning English.
But, I think studying for an exam isn't helpful at speaking in English.
I mean It's a necessary one but that's not enough to speak it.
It maybe helpful to learn grammar and build up a vocabulary.
It sounds obvious but many schools make this mistake.
That's it for today.
I wish to find the language partner and practice speaking English regularly :)

Learning Multiple Languages
A minute ago I saw the youtube video about learning multiple languages at the same time on Steve Kaufman Channel.
It was very interesting and I can understand what he said.
I´m not a polyglot, but I can speak Japanese fluently and had a lot efforts into studying it.
And now I´m focusing on learning English, but I often listen to Japanese through drama or youtube.
But It doesn´t bother my English learning. I think It because my Japanese is at advanced level.
If I study English and Chinese at the same time, It doesn´t go like that.
But, There are many people learning some languages at the same time. It´s good.
So, I think that finding effective way to learn languages is very important and having belief is also important.
