Learning a new language requires self-motivation and effort! When you are finally able to communicate in another language it is a great feeling. Please find something you are interested in and enjoy English. Listen to music and study the lyrics. Go to karaoke and sing English songs with your friends (safely of course!). Read books and magazines. Use the Internet. There are many things you can do. This syllabus and its contents may change due to the weekly pace of the class or other factors.
