Hey LeafCuppers!
I"m stil alive an kicking, and I feel the need to write again.
Anyway, I was wondering about something when it comes to learning a foreign language. And so, I have a question to ask. How do you study English?
The reason why I ask is because I myself am studying Japanese. So far, I've found that immersing myself in Japanese on a regular basis is key to my learning. I can study all I want, but if I don't have the proper environment, everything I have learned will be forgotten.
This includes listening to Japanese music, watching Japanese TV/movies/anime, and reading Japanese magazines/manga/newspapers. I make the vast majority of my input Japanese. In a sense, I kind of make myself Japanese. I eat it, sleep it, and breathe it.
I think the same is needed for English. You must have an English environment for a good part of your time. This will reinforce what you know, and even teach you new things. If you want to know more about this, I recommend a site called: www.antimoon.com
This site was written by a guy who learned English doing the very things that he discusses. I think many of you will find it both useful and interesting.
