The Difficulties I Have with Learning English In Taiwan, English is the most popular foreign language that everyone must learn since he or she was an elementary school student. The most common difficulty Taiwanese students have with learning English is speaking. Most Taiwanese students feel very nervous and shy while communicating with others in English. For me, however, I don't have much problem in speaking English, because I started to learn English in kindergarten. Also, I have met many foreign teachers during my school life, so I have many chances to speak English with others. The greatest difficulty of mine is the problem of vocabulary. I've found that I can hardly keep a new word for a long time; instead, I easily forget it. This difficulty causes a big problem while I am writing an essay. That is, while I am writing, I can't think of more difficult words; thus, I always write an essay with "baby words." In order to solve this problem, I train myself by paying more attention to memorizing vocabularies, and reading more articles. For example, I read a magazine called Reader's Digest periodically. I must try my best to overcome this trouble and improve my English ability!
