Hi everybody!
Firstly, I would like to introduce a little bit about myself, my name is Tung and I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. If someone knows, Ho Chi Minh City is the biggest city in Viet Nam.
I have been working for a non-life insurance company in that city and have no additional jobs other than my current job.
In the past, I was frustrated with English learning and quickly got bored when I thought and studied this subject and that was one of the reasons it was difficult for me to speak English and it impacted significantly on my own work life.
I have known that English is an international language in the world and it is a powerful tool to communicate with people for work. Eventually, I thought that it is not my fault, it is the learning method that I followed for years. Learning a language that only focuses on grammar rules, in textbooks is not an effective way. So, I decided to change my learning method where I concentrated deeply on listening to native speakers and got rid of textbooks.
After 02 years of learning in that way, I have been improving profoundly and now I am confident to talk English with anyone and understand mostly native speakers talk. I believe that anyone can acquire any language if they learn in a way that our brains can absorb naturally.
The Italki's site is an effective tool to help students practice English and become a master English speaking.
Thank you!
