Language learning

 I'm still having fun with Clozemaster - 62 day streak - haven't missed a day since I discovered it.

Today, I've been trying out the option to listen to a phrase before I see it written down - seems to work pretty well, and forces me a lot more on the pronunciation and trying to work out the meaning before I see the English translation.

I'm taking the easy option, using the slow, clear speech from the normal collections of words that I'm using.

 

There is also the option of a much harder group of spoken sentences, recorded by native speakers with varying accents and some degree of potential background noise. (They're taken from a common voice project)  I'll save that one for much later...

Oh my, I am blushing... But after all, I have been learning English for soooo many years...IF I had devoted more time and effort to my studies from the begining, I would have reached the proficiency level...But you know. Still, I am extremely happy with what I have and I owe you for making me communicate and learn from mistakes. With English, my "horizons" became so wide...and I earned lots of lovely friends.

You underestimate yourself. You're getting close to the point where your written English is indistinguishable from a native speaker.
