What I really like is when the teacher doesn't teach us but gives us the addresses of websites, so we can follow our own preferences.
When I go to a foreign country I like to just listen - it gives me time to build up my confidence and get used to the sound of the language.
My teacher always tells us about grammar rules. They're much too abstract for me to understand and they don't help me.
I've been learning for about 20 years and I'm totally fluent but I know I still get some basic grammar wrong.
When I try and speak English outside class I keep using words from my own language. I don't know why.
