My Experience When I Studying English For The First Time
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 i was studying in Junior High School. 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. [Smile]
The method of my english teacher in junior high school and senior high school is so boring..i feels scare when learning english.
I hated Reading because I was reading yet understanding nothing!!
I hated Writing because I did not know how to write. Plus, spelling was my worst enemy.
I hated Speaking because people would immediately burst into laugh as I started speaking.
I hated Listening because nothing was making sense to me whenever I tried to listen to English.
Most of all, I hated Grammar because it was more difficult than the Difficulty itself!!
At the first day of my university education some of my friend said that learning English is difficult but not for me, I love it, although my English is not perfect, I mean so many mistake I’ve made, my sentences ungrammatical, sometime I choose wrong word in my sentence and so on, but I’ll always try to do the best and English is my asset in my future life and wish one day later I master in English and can speak fluently and exactly I want to share with my student. Actually learning a new language is easy and simple, practice, practice and practice and concentration and more practice and more concentration.
Before I study in English Department Teacher Training and Education Faculty
Slamet Riyadi University, I join to the A class, I want to improve my skill in speaking and I wish I speak better, especially my pronunciation can better than before and improve my listening too. But sometime I feel shy to speak , am not confidence. I know that it is the head off to be success.
