English is something that you'll lose before you know if you don't keep using it. It after all is not our mother tongue. English forums on Internet are a good place to use your English like no others. You not only get help and encouragement there, but you build up your interest and confidence as well, seeing how you are progressing. I am not trying to sugar the pill a bit because that's my true experience in my favorite English forum, Canuck's Comments. You might get your own extraordinarily inspiring experience, too, only if you study hard and then give it a try.
I'm afraid I'd better stop here now or it'll become another piece of lengthy examples.
Only my two cents worth, though.
