Hi Badnumber,

' m; n: ?; ]4 o! Z+ C$ BIt's a nice surprise to receive a message that is written in English here. I had decided not to participate in any discussions, but your message made me change my mind. ! l3 v3 y; s9 N' @& E9 F. W- @1 Q

In my previous message I meant to point out that one has to keep using what he learns in everyday communications; that's how we keep the language fresh and alive. By "using the language" I referred to chatting with others, by way of voice chatting or "thumbs-chatting", and by writing on a forum such as this one. It's different from reading and hearing all by yourself. I am not saying reading and listening is not important; it's just that you still have to strike a balance between "inhaling" and "exhaling". 6 N, ~* \! r& z0 R3 D

That explains for your frustration about keeping a diary-writing habit not being the most helpful way. Writing a diary is still helpful, actually, but that is hardly better than a monologue, a soliloquy; you're your own audience. Therefore, the solution to that issue is staring us in the face: talk to or write to someone, rather than yourself, someone who can talk you back or write you back, preferrably a native English speaker. Go as deep into the subject as your English would allow. You will practice what you have learned, and will pick up new expressions along the way. 6 n* p- D' T! @9 \* }
