Study English

1. What do you think of learning English? Is it a difficult language?

Generally, learning a second language is very tough, and it takes a lot of persistence. But I think that English is easier than other second languages because we are accustomed to the English culture and its pronunciation is easier than French.

2. what is challenging about learning English?

In my opinion, English pronunciation is most difficult to learn. I wish that I could speak just like a native speaker. I always have trouble with "I" and "r"s. So, I really have to concentrate when I speak English, so that I'm very careful to pronounce things correctly. And also speaking and writing is very difficult because we don't have much chance to practice in real life.

3. Can you compare American English with British English?

Well, American English much easier to understand for me because I've been always watching AFKN program such as Oprah show and CNN news. I find the American accent to be more natural and informal, while the British accent is somewhat proper and inaccessible in some ways.

4. What do you think is the best way to learn a foreign language?

I use this way to familiarize with the pattern of words and to gain more vocabulary. But I think the best way is to learn a foreign language when you are very young in that country. If it's not possible, I think the best way is just to expose yourself to a lot of English and give yourself lots of chances to use it. For example, try to make a friend with native speaker or watch the interesting TV program of anther country.

5. What do you think is the worst way?

The worst way, in my view, is th try to memorize too much, like when som people try to memorize the whole dictionary. I have tried this way of learning English, but the result way disappointing. There are just too many words, and most are not even used.
