How to handle your feeling bored while you all learning english. That is simple. I'll giving you imagine. What's your hobbies ? Playing football ? Playing video games or swimming. How do you consistensy doing all of them ? Because you love it. You don't have a pressure. You never give up because learn english is part of your hobbies. I used to not interested about english at all. While i was school , i felt like this lesson kinda boring. I was skip every lesson. And after 33 years i am life , december past year. Suddenly my intention to learn english came to me. Like play a puzzle. I was writing every word to my notes including translate from my native language. Bit by bit from 30 minutes per day, increase to 2 hours per day. Every single day i never skip the lesson. Listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I've been doing improving and still making improvement. And i will never stops learning until rest of my life.

I like to leave a comment here, because, i was amazed when see this vedio in yt. It has always been my ambition in life to become in English, but unfortunate i didnt learn even after my college years. I got frustrated with ambition for not achieving till today. I finished in college with the degree of bachelor in secondary education last 2008 but until today, i did not teach because i am not confident enough with my english speaking skills. I was hopeless for years past. For me it is hard to believe in myself of having a chance to learn english because i was already 37 years today and i think it is already old enough. But seeing your vedios today , something comes in my mind, & something left up my spirit to dream of something again which is not yet achieved before. Hopefully i can totally learn english, and i want to be a good english speaker. Thank you so much for making this vedio. Learners or beginners are very lucky today when they are watching you vedios podcast.

That's exactly the typical education system in Indonesia. English is taught as a second language at schools. It is a mandatory subject. Therefore, students are conditioned to learn a lot of English textbooks and to be better at reading and listening but they will get stuck in speaking and writing. So, I think this is the main issue that English teachers should pay more attention to in order to enhance their students' English performance. Very nice video, anyway 👍👍
