Now I would like to talk about the one occasion when I learned a new language. I first started to learn this language approximately two years ago and the main reason I decided to learn it was the recommendation of my best friend, Makhlilo. However, in my school years, I really wasn’t interested in learning this language. After my best friend’s advice, I realized that it would be a good chance to enhance my own reputation and continue my study sessions abroad or find a much better job compared to other subjects. So I first enrolled in specialized intensive IELTS courses. After that, I attended classes three times a week, but my time of five months wasn’t very productive because my group mates were slow to understand topics and my time was spent only in learning the basic level. After changing my teachers several times, I found the best teachers and I also attend different courses both online and offline at the same time. Learning English language, I felt a mix of excitement and frustration regarding the pronunciation of certain words and some grammar rules. However, over time, my initial problems have been resolved and I am managing to overcome all of my challenges.
