How long will it take to learn English? Will I be able to take other courses next semester or will English take up all of my time?
It's hard to say. Language isn't like other studies.
You mean I could finish this course and still not know English? You'Ve got to be kidding!
I'm not kidding. Learning a language is a question of forming language habits and that takes time.
So do we have to stay in this English class forever?
No. You just have to stay here long enough to get some orientation. Then you go on practicing and learning outside. A lot of learning depends on your personal motivation.
So it's really the same story. Practice, practice, practice and more practice is the only way to learn a language.
You said it.
