"With those who are dying to improve their English, I share my experience"

In this thread I am going to talk about my experience in learning English. Hope it will be useful and helpful to you.

My realtionship with English started when a little rascal friend of mine taught me to say " I LOVE YOU ". It was at the age of 8 I guess. "I Love You" was the first English well formed sentence I managed to learn. Little by Little, I found myself learning two more English words; Yes and NO. After that, it seemed that I became satisfied with the English I had.

At the age of 13, I started taking English courses in school, for the educational system in my country used to start teaching English courses at the 7th level( English is taught now in the 6th level. What a difference!! lol ). "Stand up" and "Sit down" were the first verbs (phrasal verbs) I learned there. Moreover, I managed, at last, to distinguish between "Right" and "Left", and know the literal meaning of "Good" and "Bad".

My days in secondary school were not "englishly" happy, nor were they in high school, so I began to get disappointed. However, I frankly confess that I learned many English words at that period such as car, cat, dog, bed, where, when, did, go, come, beautiful, girl, boy etc,, but my PROBLEM was that I did not know how and when to use them, and above all how to make sense of them. So whenever I tried to talk in English, I failed. Whenever I tried to write in English, I faild. Whenever I tried to read in English I faild. Whenever I tried to listen to English I faild. In brief, I simply failed four times, in speaking, in writing, in reading, and in listening. As a result, the one who is writing NOW these lines decided to give up thinking about his English.
