I started changing the system’s language on ALL of my device
Since I Started learning English for four years expect in classes at school/aside from classes, I had changed my system’s language on my all device like iPhone,PC,iPad, all of things has did it like English speaker
Re-learned grammar, vocabularies and phrases with Duolingo in 3 months
I thought my English was B1(Intermediate) or or so although I couldn’t understand to read article and watching videos on YouTube in English.
Therefore I learned basic grammar, vocabularies and phrases from ZERO that like be a beginner then I studied English 8 to 10 hours per day and the most time is a half day in a day.
I listened and sang a lot of songs in English, and now I’m a fan of “One Direction", “Voice Play", “Home Free" and “Corpse". you can listen to their songs and watch their videos on YouTube and Streaming Services like Apple Music , Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music.
Keeping a diary in English

I often did it that/how I had used to translation(Google Translate) in the beginning because I didn’t know phrases, vocabularies what I wanted to say in English.
Recently/Lately, I’m able to typing a sentences on my iPhone without/except/aside from a translation app and sometimes I post a article like this and tweet in X in English. I guess (that/how) most people feel like weird/strange when my English….
Even though I was felt something weird, I won’t quit/give-up learning English.
