Learning language is really difficult, what do you think?
I started learning English in China from 20 years ago.
I have never spoken to foreigners, so I am still a dumb.
And I can't express my thoughts without Google Translate.
So I think there are many people here.
Does anyone help me learn English and learn about other countries?
If you are interested in China or Chinese, I also could help you.
I sent an English post for the first time.
I hope that my post will be sent to the right place and will not cause trouble to everyone.

Learning English is hard. It's such a mix of Germanic, Roman, Norman and Celtic. I grew up with two which has made it easier to learn others. Try to find native English speakers near you. I always find it's easier to learn a new language when you use it. Learning Lithuanian now.
学习英语很难。混合了日耳曼,罗马,诺曼和加利奇。我与两个人一起长大,这使得学习他人变得更加轻松。尝试找到附近的讲英语的人。我总是觉得在您使用一种新语言时比较容易。现在学习立陶宛语。

Thanks for your advice.
I also want to find a friend whose native language is English, but there is none, except for professional foreign teachers.

The language barrier is big. I have been working with Mexican speaking coworkers for almost 23 years and I have almost no idea what they are saying. I am glad some universal sign language works at work.
