There are multitude of challenges during our learning language journey. This piece of writing is based on my own experience. It's certainly for work purposes I commenced to learn to speak English as a requirement to obtain either a promotion in the current company I work for or simply to search for a better-paid job in another company, anyway, since the onset I believed it would be "easy and fast", however, the most of time it has been the opposite. conform I intent to internalize the new vocabulary take out of news papers, music, articles and so on, I realize that one of the biggest challenges I face is the syntax of sentences. this being evidenced every time I ask italki community for a exercise correction as in this case, not to mention, when I ask them a question. Not having any doubt about it I really really appreciate all the help I receive from professional teachers, community tutors, native English speaker, non-natives speaker as well. these kind people with their corrections guide me through the proper path. once said that I cannot hide the fact that in occasions I get frustrated- specially when it comes to my listening comprehension, watching videos on youtube, listening to podcasts I hear English natives speakers talking so fast, using idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs, colloquial expression as well. What is for sure I must find other ways to solve this, I'll continue working hard on it- it is the only one solution I reckon so.

There are a multitude of challenges throughout our learning language journeys. This piece of writing is based on my own experience. I started learning to speak English for work purposes, as a requirement to obtain either a promotion in the current company I work for, or simply to search for a better-paid job in another company. At the outset, I believed it would be "easy and fast", however, most of the time it has been the opposite. As I work hard to internalize new vocabulary taken out of newspapers, music, articles and so on, I realize that one of the biggest challenges I face is the syntax of sentences. This is evidenced every time I ask italki community for a exercise correction, as in this case, as well as when I ask them a question. No doubt about it, I really really appreciate all the help I receive from professional teachers, community tutors, native English speakers, and even non-natives speakers. These kind people with their corrections guide me through the proper path. That said, I cannot hide the fact that on occasions I get frustrated- especially when it comes to my listening comprehension. Watching videos on youtube and listening to podcasts, I hear English native speakers talking so fast, using idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs, and colloquial expressions, too. What is for sure is that I must find other ways to solve this. I'll continue working hard- which I reckon is the one best solution.

Don't be disheartened. Your writing and vocabulary are excellent, and writing is the hardest skill to learn. Keep listening to audio, I recommend "BBC World Service" on Spotify, it can help with syntax and it is mostly academic English, not much colloquial language. Don't worry too much about colloquial & idiomatic expressions, it's better to not use them than to force them where they may not fit. You'll learn the contexts to use them with time, and anyway they aren't needed much in the work environment! Keep working hard! Good luck!
