Some of the Difficulties I face in learning English
Learning English as a foreign language has a lot of difficulties.

In order to minimize and to avoid totally the above mentioned problems, I am trying to listen to different audio and audio visual records. I usually follow the English language programme broad cast on radios like BBC and VOA services. In addition to this I have begun watching films and video. Beside this, I listen to my instructor’s lectures very carefully that helps me to improve my listening skill to same extent.
My second major problem in learning English is the speaking skill. Although listening and speaking are in separable, my difficulty of speaking is more than that of listening. This is basically due to lack of practice. The other is I am afraid of being called boastful (many people consider a person that speaks English as a booster). The type of teaching mythdology which was app applied in the previous time is also another factor and because of this student were not active participants.

In general, I do have a bright future of using English for communicative purposes effectively. I am trying as much as I can to use the language very
