When I am in a slump

I had enjoyed learning English until a week before, but I am in a slump learning in English.

I could express my feeling in English well before, but I often can't find the word in English now.

When I listen to my ESL classmates' English, I often feel inferior to them.

I don't want to read something written in English now.


Why can't I improve my English even though I am studying hard?

Oh, what should I do...?


I had an ESL class today, but I skipped it because I felt sick to my stomach this morning.

But if anything, I didn't feel like it today.

In that case, I try not to push myself.

Take a rest, stop learning English, don't think too much....

I really want to know how to get out of the slump.

How important review is

I practised English using Duolingo last night.

It is the website where you can study a lot of different languages.

I can practice translating English into Japanese and vice versa.

I can do read aloud and grammar test by answering the questions.

The questions are separated by the different rules of grammar.

After I finish a section, my memory of it reduces over time.

We can practise many times how to strengthen our memory.



I told my 6-year-old son who already finished his homework,

"I envy you! You have a lot of time to study, and you can remember everything easily.

Furthermore you don't forget it after a while.

In my case, I don't have much time to study whenever I want so I need an effort to make my studying time.

And I forget what I had remembered soon.

I need to review many times.

You are in the best time to study.

Don't waste it.
If you have something to try, try it now!

We realize the importance of the youth after we grow up."

He was listening to me like his lost.



When I was a college student, I liked travelling but I didn't have money because I did it too much.

But my mother told me,

"You can go if you want to go. If you don't have money, you can make money by working. You should do what you want to do while you can do it."

I really understand her words now.

I told my mother about what she said before, but she completely forgot about it.

She said,

"Did I tell you such a thing?"

This is it.

When we get old, we forget easily.

I realized that it is important to review and not to forget.

Siri is my English teacher

I have an iPad mini and I tried to input some sentences in English using Siri (voice recognition system)  as a practice of pronunciation in English.

When I say " I envy you", Siri couldn't recognize what I said but insted would suggest like this.



 It showed that my pronunciation of "envy" was not good, especially "V".

It suggested as "MV" and " and B"!

This would mean that I there's a need for me to practice with my pronunciation.
