My Major Obstacles and Expectations of Using English

Major obstacles: Listening and speaking if the words that used aren't common.

Expectations: I expect to have friend(s) from England or USA, so I can learn how to communicate in English better by doing. Learning by doing ;)

My First Experience Dealing with English

My first experience dealing with English is when I was about 4 or 5 years old, I sang ABC song that I watched from Sesame Street on TV, I also sang the song of numbers. When I was 5 years my Mom took me to an English course. I learnt more about English. More vocabulary, more songs, and more experiences of talking in English.

Now, I'm using ability in English to communicate with myself and some people who love to talk in it just on social network media and some blogs and forum and sometimes to understand the meaning of English songs.
