I'm agree with arianna, the hardest thing is speaking with correct grammar...I and English grammar live in two different world, but with study I hope to speak somewhat better. Vito
the hardest thing is thinking as the english grammar construction requires. I am learning that I have not to translate I have to think as an original english. Maria
If you persist, you'll break down their resistance, Francesca. ("...they are so hostile")
Do you make a lot of speeches in English, Adriana? ("speaking with correct grammar";"...to make a speech")
Being different from a verb may not be an entirely bad thing, Adry. ("I always mix up the tenses")
One of the best ways to learn to speak, Vito, is by listening. Try watching films or tv programmes in English, with subtitles in English. ("I agree with Adriana"; "two different worlds"; "by studying I hope to learn to speak somewhat better")
You're right, Maria, and that's only possible through regular contact with the language ("I have to think like an English native speaker")
I think the hardest thing about learning English is the speaking and sometimes writing. Personally It's difficult for me to remember the means of words and the construction of phrases.

No, but I am afraid also when I have to answer a question in class. When I was at school,the prof terrorized me with speeches in English!

Memorizing words. If I had the full command of my vocabulary, maybe English wouldn't be so hard
