You've made great progress! Congratulations! Thank you! I always enjoy learning English.So how did you improve your English?I watched English movies; they worked well for me.I watched movies too. I couldn't follow the dialogs and I felt frustrated .Maybe you could try easier movies, like cartoons . I think they could definitely help you.Really? I'll give it a try. Also, I think taking grammar notes can help a little.I agree. I never take notes, but I practice speaking with my foreign friends who are native speakers.
