The difficulties in learning English and how to

overcome them

Beginners of foreign language always meet difficulties

from the outset For me, I had to overcome these

problems when I started learning English

English pronunciation is my first obstacle The

pronunciation in English puzzles me a lot because the

same letter has different sounds For example the

letter “a” in “bath” is not pronounced in the same way

of that in “bathe” The “ou” in “South” is also different

from “ou” in “Southern” Generally verbs and nouns

are pronounced differently although they are written

the same Record is a good example to illustrate it

In order to solve this puzzling question I carefully

study The A.P.A (The International Phonetic

Alphabets) which helps me pronounce English words

correctly

In order to have an accent just like the native

speakers, I often listen to tapes and repeat after them,

trying to imitate them Moreover, my everyday

conversation with the foreigners I meet in the street

will enable me to acquire a proper accent

Compared with French, English grammar is much

easier However, this does not mean that learners

meet no difficulties in learning it It took me a long

time to learn how to master the tenses in English

grammar, to endeavor to do as many grammar

exercises as possible and read various grammar

books

In writing English, English language has its own style

In order to drill writing skills, I have tried to read

famous novels of distinguished America and English

writers I enjoy the humorous style of writing in Mark

Twain’s masterpieces, the elaborate and polished

style of George Eliot and the sentimental and lyrical

style of John Keats

After long and hard years of English study, how

pleased I feel when I am able to read English and

American authors without any obstacles and

difficulties at all
