I forgot when was it but I completely stopped to "study" English.
Because recently I have no trouble with English at my daily life even on the phone.
Most of time people understand me so I have been lazy to improve my English.
However all people around me say that my English is funny, it is like "Japanglish".
I know my way of say something is strange.
I think English is an one of the difficult languages to learn because it has a lot of exceptions or sometimes does not have particular rules.
And (how can I say..?) it is very difficult to get them for an old person like me.
If I were teenager or 20s, I could learn faster. (I cannot make excuse?!)
It takes time for me.
From my experience, getting English faster is talk with people.
So although I didn't know proper English grammar, I could feel strangeness of speaking. It is as same thing as that babies are able to recognize the strange feeling of foreigners speaking if they learned their language from their mothers. I am like a three years kid now then I can feel the strangeness a little bit at last.
The best thing to improve English is read books, I know but I don't like reading much. NO, I like reading if I could find very interesting stories but I have not found them yet. Some people recommend me some good stories but I still have not found any.
What kind of books I like is for example life experience stories (non fiction) or essay of someone's life, something like that. I don't like fiction much.
Because I would like to share similar feelings with others so they should not be unreal.
However it is quite difficult to find these kind of stories because most of others experiences would not satisfy me. I want to read really fantastic wonderful stories that would not make me sleepy.
