Why don't you make progress studying English?

There are many reasons why you might feel like you're not making progress in learning English. Here are some common causes and ways to address them:

1. Lack of clear goals:

   • Cause: You haven't set specific, clear, and measurable goals.
   • Solution: Define specific goals (e.g., learn 20 new words each week, complete an online course in 3 months) and track your progress.

2. No study plan:

   • Cause: You study randomly without a specific schedule.
   • Solution: Create a detailed study plan that includes daily or weekly study time and content.

3. Lack of persistence:

   • Cause: You give up easily when you encounter difficulties or don’t see immediate results.
   • Solution: Be persistent and don’t give up. Accept that learning a language is a long-term process and it takes time to see results.

4. Insufficient practice:

   • Cause: You only study theory without enough practice.
   • Solution: Practice English daily through activities like talking with friends, writing a journal, listening, and reading in English.

5. Lack of English environment:

   • Cause: You don’t have opportunities to use English in daily life.
   • Solution: Create an English environment for yourself by joining English clubs, communicating with English speakers, or using English learning apps.

6. Ineffective learning methods:

   • Cause: You don’t use learning methods that suit you.
   • Solution: Try different learning methods such as learning through songs, movies, mobile apps, or group study to find the most suitable method.

7. Lack of feedback and adjustment:

   • Cause: You don’t receive feedback to know if you are doing it right or wrong.
   • Solution: Seek feedback from teachers, friends, or use apps that provide automatic feedback to improve.

8. Not practicing comprehensive skills:

   • Cause: You focus only on one skill (e.g., vocabulary) and neglect other skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing).
   • Solution: Ensure you practice all English skills in a balanced way.

9. Lack of confidence in using English:

   • Cause: You are afraid of making mistakes and hesitant to communicate in English.
   • Solution: Be more confident and accept that making mistakes is part of the learning process. Each mistake is a learning opportunity.

10. Not creating a learning habit:

    • Cause: You do not study English regularly and do not make it a daily habit.
    • Solution: Make learning English a part of your daily routine, for example, spend 15-30 minutes each day studying English.
