Answer 1

1.       I think learning grammar is the most difficult thing about learning English. I spend a lot of time learning it and I’m trying to use it as much as possible.
2.       I suppose it would be better to learn it with a native speaker so learning it will be natural.
3.     Personally I feel that it’s more convenient for me to learn a few words every day and then practise it in a grammar book or my teacher. 4.       I have learnt a lot of them but I still try to learn them. It’s not easy but I’ll try to become fluent in English. 5.       Pronunciation is very important of course. I had to train a lot to pronounce words correctly but now I feel confident when I speak English.
6.       Well, they should not be afraid of speaking foreign language. Some people find it very difficult to speak because they make mistakes. They should try to talk and then they will become interested in a foreign language.
