Thank you.

So "I'm listening to Beatles for 2 hours already" is wrong and can not be used, even if action is going on at the moment?

I mean, somebody naturaly speaking english would never say like that?

As a teacher, my students have difficulty with tenses which don't exist in their language - for example, present perfect. Learning vocab is always a matter of memorising unfortunately, and jokes and colloquialisms are also very difficult. I sometimes feel like a really bad stand-up comedienne when my 'jokes' in class fall flat. (smile)

As a student (I've had to learn 3 different languages in the last 8 years) speaking is the hardest thing to do, no matter how good my grammar is. My students HATE speaking English, so I make sure that I have activities in class where they can't get out of it!

I, however, try to avoid speaking in my bad foreign accent at all times. I'm such a wuss.
