And this skill is the skill that had most influence on my life because first of all I was able to study abroad in Poland also win full scholarship. So yes, this is very useful skill for me. And let’s talk about how I learned it in details. and so I used it with the videos to understand the grammar and while also watching the videos I practiced everything myself without any tutors. The journey was hard for sure I can tell that but I’m not gonna lie. I felt how to say how to describe feeling I don’t know it was very strange feeling I was facing the same problem as my fellows who studied English also. But at the same time I think I was able to solve these problems by my own creative thinking and the whole journey of learning took me around one and a half year and in the next two months I took IELTS exam and by the result I had my desired level, upper intermediate and was able to study abroad. And yes, that’s all.
