Leo's Language Journey

Getting Back into English I studied English for several years at school and university, but then I stopped using it. Life got busy, and English slowly disappeared from my daily routine. When I tried to speak again, I felt stuck. I knew the words, but they didn’t come out naturally. At first, this was frustrating. I wanted to speak fluently, but my mind kept translating from my first language. Every sentence felt slow and uncomfortable. I started to think that maybe I had lost my English forever. Then I changed my approach. Instead of studying rules, I focused on listening and repeating. I listened to short texts every day and repeated them out loud, without stopping. Little by little, something changed. My speech became smoother, and I started to sound more confident. Now I understand one important thing: you don’t lose a language. You just stop using it. And you can always start again.
