Studying English by myself is quite clueless.

I`d like to improve my English level.
I had taken a English lesson through the Skype until recently.

I used to read short novels such as "Charlotte`s Web", "Dear Dumb Diary", and "Only Emma".
I thought the common expressions out of the books could let me be acquired with the
natural expressions of the real English. Besides I read book series about many countries
over the world. The last one that I read was about Syria. My favorite one among the book series were Finland and Singapore. (I really hope to travel the both countries someday, BTW.)


However, I think my English is just stuck in the same level.
There is a kind of cycle that I feel frustrated while I learn English.
It means that it`s not first time for me to feel this frustrated situation.


I`m thinking of taking the internet English lesson again.

It's really important to not get frustrated when learning a language. I recommend starting a language learning journal. Just a diary where you write about how you study. Then, you should experiment with new learning strategies. Then you can keep track of which strategies work for you and which don't. Don't keep using the same methods if they are boring or frustrating for you.

Thank you for the advice. In the terms of language learning journal, I used to write it. However, I usually wrote what I studied
on the day. I also organized grammar rules including example sentences.

I`d better change the way of that I used to write the journal.

Thank you again for advising to write a language learning journal. ^^*
