My English Learning Experience

 Guest post by: S.N Kariyakarawana

Learning English can be challenging, but it is also exciting. I used to feel shy speaking English in class, but now I try to talk to my friends in English every day. I also watch English movies with subtitles to understand the words better. Practicing small conversations at home makes me feel ready for class.

I realized that confidence comes with practice, not perfection. Even if I make mistakes, I keep trying because I know I will improve. English opens many opportunities for learning and making friends.

Most students learn English only inside the classroom. They study grammar and write exercises, but they do not get many chances to speak. When speaking time comes, they feel nervous because English sounds strange to them. Speaking a new language needs practice, just like learning to ride a bicycle. Teachers also play an important role. Sometimes students are corrected too much when they speak. When every mistake is corrected immediately, students lose confidence. They start to think that speaking English is very difficult.
