Studying any language is actually is a long commitment that needs consistency and hard work and it needs to work on the 4 skills of learning a language. Reading ,listening ,speaking and writing and most important of all is practicing all the time.

The best way to study any language is to practice it via speaking it. The more you speak the better you get.
There are numerous ways to learn a language nowadays, especially English. It all depends on a learner : their motivation, self-management skills, "knowing how to learn" skills - learning strategies, current level, their background, previous experience in learning languages, character traits, lifestyle, you name it )) My personals experience with language was successful due to the combination of these factors: strong motivation+a professional teacher+a lot of homework+conversational groups+chatting online (ICQs at that time)+having a clear goal+a genuine pleasure from the process of learning. I find English easier in comparison with some other languages I've been leaning, or tried to learn. But it doesn't mean I'm done learning, I never will. The forms just change over time. Now, my way to improve it is to read, watch, communicate, work in it - yes, I'm learning even when I'm teaching. So, good luck to you in finding your own way which will help you achieve your goal!

Most of us learn from just listening and repeating. This is a valid way to learn. But with teachers and techniques, this natural process can be sped up. Listen to the BBC educational. Watch films with subtitles on (although sometimes they are really bad). If it helps, read and work with stories for children. Anything you do will help - and it won't always feel like learning😁
I don't need to study English because I am a native, but i have taught it to more that 5,000 students over the years and I learn other languages. 1. Some people learn fast, don't be angry. 2. You have to practice as much as possible. 3. Have fun, join activities outside of the classroom. Join a dance class or something.
I’ve been studying English for 19 years and I can tell that in comparison with Slavic Languages such as Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Slovak and Slovenian is MUCH easier. It just takes time as every language ☺️ It’s always better to find a teacher if you can afford it, so you stay motivated and on a right path
No, studying English is very convenient and easy for me. I use it to strengthen and understand my English by reading books, watching movies, listening to music, and communicating with others.

- What does "as above so below" mean?Sarrah
I met this phrase in the book and I was wondering about the meaning of "as above, so below." Here is the context where I met this phrase: In the meticulously designed garden, the arrangement of the flowers and paths reflected the harmony of the stars above, truly embodying the principle "as above, so below."
Best answer
It simply compares the harmony of the flowers to that of the stars... meaning same harmonous path the stars portray above (in the sky), it's same with the flowers below.
