To learn English as a second language.

E.N.G.L.I.S.H!!!!!! It means a LOT of things to me. It's sometimes fun and sometimes SOOOOO difficult. It's imprtant thing to get a job because most company want well-English-educated person. Also, it's essntial element to understand international things like a international business and relationships between countries and varied cultures. When I study in university, it's also imprtant because many of books are written in English. Even, some lectures are given in English. One of the most HUGE reason why I learn Engish is that I want to read the original English text without other's translation. Few years ago, I read a book that translated by someone and after then, I accidently read the original text. At that time, I figured out one thing that it can be have different meanings between original text and text in translation. Actually, I was little bit shocked. I had naver thought about mistranslation before.

Those kinds of reasons, English fun or not, I have to learn English. So, I decided go to America and I'm in Sandiego.

However, What am I doing here? Do I really do my best, NOW???
I know that I must study English hardly. I know, know, konw!!!!! The problem is that I JUST KNOW and I'm not studying English hard. There are lots of reasons WHY?? First, it seems to be considered kind of excuse, this lanuage is sooo difficult to Korean. The grammar, pronunciation, accents... ALL things are totally different. So, the speed of improving English is more and more and more slow than other countries's students. However, I think the most big problem is me, me, me... I don't have patience to study English. There are no passion, no strong desire. I have to change my attitude and set a clear goal.

I have wanted to study English, I have put a lot of money to study English and I need English obviously for future.

I really really don't want to be a loser. I really really wnat to be a good English speaker.
For these, I think it would be good to look back and make a new plan for future.

Don't get down. Your English is really improving even if you don't notice.

The best thing you can do here is speak as much English as possible. Don't worry so much about "studying". Watch some American TV instead of your Korean Shows. A student told me a while ago he loved to watch The Simpsons.
