My English learning journey
At first, like most Brazilian students, I viewed English only as a school subject. But when I decided to study in the United States, I started taking it much more seriously by attending three after-school classes every week. A few months later, I noticed a clear improvement in my English. Still, achieving fluency felt like a faraway goal, which made me feel upset.
However, motivation（动机）was the key to overcoming this challenge. I knew that in the United States, everything—from making new friends to doing well in school to finding a good job in the future—depended on English. This understanding drove me to study harder.
While motivation got me started, good habits kept me going. Every week, I set some small and achievable tasks, such as learning 20 new words. Flashcards（抽认卡）quickly became my favourite tool for review. I also made sure to set aside 15 to 20 minutes each day for spoken English practice. I gradually realized that learning a new language doesn’t end when class is over—it is a continuous process.
To improve faster, I immersed myself in English as much as possible. For example, I watched Friends, an American TV show, over and over. At first, I couldn’t understand everything, but over time, my listening skills and vocabulary improved a lot. I also used the app Duolingo. It offers different learning methods, such as playing word games and reading funny stories. These
methods made learning fun and efficient（效率高的）.
Looking back, I can confidently say that mastering a new language is challenging, but if you keep going, the rewards are beyond measure.
