When I started my journey in learning a second language I felt lots of frustration and depression and that happened for months in my whole process, the beginning was tough but I always kept a big motivation, I had a terrible experience in the past I lost a great opportunity to get a wonderful job with a great earning, I had all the requirements for the job, the experience the studies and suddenly my world fell down because when the interview began I didn't know that they was looking for a person with total English management, at that moment I was sure that I had a good level but when I had to speak I knew that I was a beginner my listening was good but I was not able to talk, losing that chance was like a knock out for me I was on the canvas and was unable to stand up again, but I seriously meditate in why was the reason of that, and my journey began.
Immediately I started to study I wanted to study in a renowned institute but I hadn't the time due to I was busy with another job which still I am doing, so I had some material some books, I started by reading grammar and basic vocabulary, it was hard and boring but I insisted I was persistent and never give up, I devoted one hour per day, the next week I devoted two per week and I increased the time and push myself very hard and every time I had doubts and frustration because I never saw results in my next month, I always had that memory that image when I lost the great opportunity and felt the frustration again that made me stronger because I didn't want to feel that sensation again.
After three month I took some books & these was super interesting but I couldn't understand some words, and it insist me to know the meaning of that vocabulary. I was strong and kept going my best friend was the dictionary & net ,it was a big struggle to maintain my motivation but my goal was to finished that booklet it took me a month but I did it, I underlined the word I couldn't understand and I used to put the meaning in the upper part of the word, that helped me to remember the word when I found it again in another page, it was exhausting then when I finished I rest and kept monitoring other activities to not get bored like one day only listening, the other only reading and that way I always changed my method and after that I tried to talked via Skype.
Well not to get this story longer because it is more complicated, seven month have passed and still I have huge difficulties but my listening has improved, as well as my speech, I saw results only Seven month I mean significant results and then I met EC which helped me to fortify my skills even more.

@Sono...as you caught the enemy who trouble your devotion during learning, so i think you could easily push away the could moment by employ your emotion. yes emotion is the big "tool" or advantage for learning english. when you put your emotion, it will never let you deprive your right what you actually claimant.
as per my thinking you must improved but didn't realize because of slow or tiny development fro every moment.One day your tiny rain drop/progress will make the wide ocean.All of a sudden you will get a breakthrough improvement what you want.
but if i apply here my general sense then easily can discover "What is your position in english language"...yes, you are enough good in the language and this is true and real!
The pleasure is mine also..for being a so great friend! Sincere and spontaneous. Your words touched me!
Have a great day!
Another blog full of professional struggle. Impressive or motivational blog for other members should say. who learn English or anything that want to learn in their life.
Determination is the key of learning process. More than one time I decided to will show my determination but eventually boring factor defeated my determination.

@ Zenida...Have you a great day and a great adventure with EC members.
So nice complement, yes if Allah close the one door, behind it have some reason and he open for other best one. Friend I relinquish the pain and now I start too believed in my energy and enthusiasm about learning English as well as rightness and don’t afraid about the question of aptness or how to develop myself in every sphere of life or any place. If some time destiny does not let me down.
@ Noaspls...I also hope so, your empowering encouragement help me to ignite the mission.
It is a difficult experience, but sometimes it is necessary something to happen to wake us up, to pay attention that we are in the wrong way, the path must be another. Not lastime this loss because when God closes a door He opens another best for you. So try to forget this difficult experience and just think about your goal. God bless you.
I'm sure your persistent and determination in learning English will be fruitful soon.
