I'm learning English

[GabrielYoung]

I'm learning English. Sometimes I feel like grammar is a sedative. I learn it not because I speak better later, but because it's like a control: here are the rules, and that means everything is fine. Has anyone else caught themselves thinking that grammar is an illusion of progress?

[peterlynch]

Yes, grammar gives the illusion of "order", and there is nothing wrong with that. Just add real practice to it: each new rule - one or two phrases out loud or in a diary. Without this, it remains a theory for peace of mind, and not for language.

I started studying at Promova because I constantly encountered language barriers when traveling. These online language courses hit the spot, because the emphasis here is on live conversational English, not rote memorization. The exercises with phrases that are used in real life were very helpful. I noticed that I became more confident in speaking and don't worry when someone responds in English. I'd also like to note that there is a great repetition system here, it helps to reinforce the material so you don't forget it the next day. I recommend it if your goal is not just to learn the rules, but to speak.
