Carrie, you are the best! I believe most of us learning English is just for passing exams, which is why most of us learning English for years are still struggling in daily communication with the native speakers. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you so much for your share. I have an Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary at home. And for the pronunciation, I prefer to use the Baidu and google translate to speak out for me. My ultimate goal is to use phonics for all English words. ❤
