My arse might be kicked by somebody from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island if I dare write in English and disclose it to the world, I guess. To write in English I always think furiously recalling the spellings of the words. My English is not good enough, and I am to blame for the laziness in my young age.
English was not firmly grasped in my childhood, and I started learning it quite late in my life, probably 15 or 16. Later I went for an exchanged student program under a determination to see a great improvement. Before 15 I took it easy and didn’t admit that I lagged the "normal peers" (to distinguish from my hard-of-hearing peers) in English. As I always slightly passed the English tests in my school, I just omitted the fact.
It is another story when I went to university. I spent most of my time on lovable Economics and other subjects, so that English was neglected. Anyway, this doesn’t relate much to what I am chatting now. Let’s get back to the topic.
Recently I was scared by the boredom in reading English novels. I wanted to have fun. As being bored in reading, it is a good idea to do writing. I was again scared, then. How terrible it was when I tried, for not exams and other practical reasons!
A fish out of water has to learn how to breathe all over. It seems to me that all the oxygen in the air is replaced by falt-gas (The Nazis had it in the war) and I am just not able to breathe, while English comes into it. But I must agree that I am always scared…
Anyway, it is not to prove how bad my English is but to make myself focus on it. Since I got to have direction in my life, learning a foreign language could be one. Never hurt to try.
Welcome to indicate any mistakes if you like.

For me the best way to learn English is to have casual chat with native speakers on the Internet…
Try the academic forums(or newsgroups), not the leisure ones.
(Anyway makes too much burden to insist on perfect English when wirting blogs. I prefer casual chats)

Thank you 呀，其實我好少用英文寫野架～
如果可以寫到好似「哲子戲」咁，就至正啦。但我性格唔夠「放」(你知道)，所以將重心放係「形式」度，都叫ok。

看原版經濟學D書梗米既可以學到英語又可以研究到經濟lor，不過就難啃D.

近年已經好少睇 Econ 書。多數都係 check 下以前睇過既野咁囉。

v_v" 呢個諗法好好…但其實效果並不大, 話說我呢幾年黎都浸o係英文書入面(焗住要睇…中文的期刊是沒有人會認真地看的…), 結果是讀英文的難度降低了很多, 但寫英文還是沒什麼進步…
話說回來…我已經認了, 英文是我其中一個完全沒有天份的領域…

我頗同意。要學英文的話，看學術期刊和課本好像幫助不大。老實說，我讀這些東西時，腦中幾乎只得數學公式和幾何圖像吧。

幸好是英文, 我還勉強可以, 如果是其他外文我一概不懂….
是否言語學上, 女性是比男性好些. 我讀大學時有位女同學和我一同去學國語. 她一點就明, 我點極都唔明 :p
