Dear Emily,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you.
I learn at least five new words every day, this is 1825 per year. I read a lot of English books out loud. Such reading helps me in conversation. I listen to English radio. The meaning of the hearing is to hear as many words as possible in the shortest possible period.
But speaking is the most difficult. I can learn the grammar, and I can recognize the pronunciation but, when I can try speak I get nervous. I don’t sure about I can learn the correct pronunciation. I’ve could see that is the principle problem.
English is not my native language, I have it as a foreign language. It is very interesting though difficult. I really like its sound. I love English for its complexity!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes.
