The #1 quality every English student should have...
There are countless resources out there regarding English study tips, but the most important quality students must have...is patience.
You can be the best student, the most efficient learner, and the most dedicated to studying. You can be tenacious and relentless, but fluency will not happen overnight. Fluency takes TIME and it's not something you have control over at all times.
Once you succumb to the process of learning, you will quickly realize that mastering the English language is a marathon and not a sprint. We are all created differently, and while some may gain fluency faster than others, we cannot compare ourselves to the successes of our peers. Whether you struggle with speaking, writing, listening or reading...you must have patience. Surrender to the journey and enjoy the journey, because you simply cannot force fluency.
So don't get discouraged and frustrated because you feel like you should be further along with your level of English. Do the best you can with the time and resources made available to you, and have faith that you're on the right path (no matter how long it takes). As long as you are moving towards your goal, even if it's via baby steps, you are succeeding in your ultimate vision.
Be patient and trust the process - you WILL get there!
