Pre-reading Activities The Internet may be able to help you overcome your frustrations with learning English. I started learning English when I was in junior middle school. I didn’t, however, gain command of the language in the classroom. It was only when I tried learning English through an online course that I finally became proficient. The online course was just as difficult as classroom study, but it provided better results. There were many other advantages to online learning as well. It taught me how to manage my time better to include my online studies in my busy schedule. Learning better time management has paid many rewards since.
