I like this quote: "If you're going to learn a newlanguage, you can't try to be perfect. You'll stop yourself from talking. You just have to let go".

I agree because, if you stop talking thinking your vacabulary is not the best one, you'll miss the opportunity to comunicate and, in communication, if you don't know the perfect word, you can use another one, and your idea is anderstood as well. You don't have to be perfect, you have to be understood and, little by little, you are going to absorb  new vocabulary,  and your confidence will grow.

Because I feel the truth in this words.

 

Once I've heard a wisdom motivational phrase about learning English. I can't recall from the top of my head the precise words but I'll try to express the main meaning of it. Learning and understanding English helps you to see world in a very different side. It's like you were looking just in a one window and now you have the ability to see through hundreds windows around you.
