Looking backwards to (on) my English learning expirience - part 1

I remember the day when I started to learn English. "Who knows how to say cow in English?" - the teacher asked. "Moo" - I answered quickly. I was five years old. At that time I naively believed that if I imagine the cow in a UK farm in my mind - it will be sound like the English words for 'cow'. Perhaps I was right, but not at that time. It was my first overwhelming experience on the long winding road of English learning (of learning English <em>is better</em>). I think that mistakes are so very/quite important (in our lives). It doesn't matter how many times you fail (<em>and/or </em>fall). What is really (most) important is how many times you will get up (Persistence to overcome failure is what matters most).
