My cousin in Vietnam self-studied Chinese since his parents wanted him to learn English (more useful and all other reasons). He was the only athlete who could talk in Chinese with a Chinese instructor they hired for his wushu national team. Thus, it could happen if you wanted something real bad. The key is how much you wanted it to happen and how much you would push yourself to make it happen. Proper planning and effort should do the trick. For example, my cousin told us he tried to write any words he knew in Chinese on anything. He said once he was called to the board to tell the dialog he was supposed to memorize. The teacher gave him three points for his poor notebook (most of the words were in Chinese :lol: ). He made Chinese friends to ask for their help with the pronunciation. He watched Chinese movies in Chinese. He tried to sing karaoke in Chinese. In short, everything was in Chinese for him. It drove me crazy during that period of time.

I also sometimes listen to the Voice Of America.
And fortunately, NHK, Japanese official radio, has many English education programs. These are very useful for me to study.
Although I studied English 8 years in my school days(junior high 3 ,high 3, colledge 2),my English is very poor now.

When I was a student, most Japanese student studied English not for using in daily life but for their exams.
They could get good scores at tests but almost couldn't speak English.
I hope students now are different from us.

And I of course working on studying English for using daily life now and taling to you. :D

:shock: Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Those words from you?????? I am soooooo flattered. Seeeeee, I know you've been trying to get on my nerves because you like flirting with me. You know I like jackasses who are really sincere deep down; that's why you've been trying to be one to get my attention, right? Too bad my Danyet is still a big one. Maybe you need to try harder? :wink: :lol: :lol:

:lol: What on Earth are you yapping about? I do not like to play with other people's nerves. They have it coming because they've gotten on my nerves. It's their fault since I train my b!tch inside me well :oops: .

Replying to PS: Is it a date? What kinda brookstick are you using? Maybe I'll choose the same one and we'd be like those silly kids who like to get everything matching on a date. :lol: :lol: It'd be really cute. I love pink, by the way. Are you getting something pink? What about pink hair? I find that attractive on a man. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank God you cut your hair because I hate long hair on a guy. It's so yucky. Guys only look cute and clean with short hair. I actually like a guy with beard. The chinstrap or stubble style is my favorite. But it's okay without a beard, whatever, you know :wink: .

Your PS: Oh gosh, I don't know everything. I didn't know what you said was actually real. I thought it was a made-up name you were telling me :oops: . Anyways, if I have to be there on Sunday, I think I should be packing and get going right about now to get there in time. My broomstick can't beat the airplane to get me there in eight hours. And I have to take some rest during the long flight, too. If I flew nonstop, I think you could cut off my bum when I got there and I wouldn't feel a thing :lol: :lol: :lol: .
