Hi,Gadegu-san, thanks for the message, and I'm sorry about the late reply. For the excuse, I've been busy since the beginning of this month, and All I did this week was only to get up in the morning, go out to work, got back home, and go to bed. But I should be greatful not to be fired yet, shouldn't I? I'm still a bad teacher, but working hard this way, I'd like to hone my teaching skills in the end. Anyway, you seem to have trouble improving your English, but I don't think you should worry too much about it. As you said, almost everyone has the same problem. Believe or not, I'm always frastrated with myself for my inabliity of English. I devote most of my time to English every day. I think I read English nearly 10 hours a day these days, but my reading skills don't seem to be improving a bit, and because I'm busy at work, I haven't been able to speak English this week. When I talked online today, my English was actually as dead as it can be. As I said somewhere before, though, learning English takes a great deal of time and patience, so I try not to beat myself up so much, and try to look for the bright side of it. I agree with your idea that English should be learned with a lot of fun. To do this, I'm sure it's a good idea to watch movies in English. And don't forget to allow yourself plenty of time for your speaking practice. I always believe learning English is pretty much like playing sports. If you stop it for a while, your muscles become weaker, and your performance will be weaker too. Even if you keep working hard, however, you, sometimes, somehow, are not as good as you expect you should be (Even professional atheletes like Ichiro can't always be perfect) Therefore, you shouldn't get so depressed about your improvement. Instead, you should try to see the process with a long span of time.
