English skill

I have been there for seven months. Now i realized that it is hard to make great progress in English in a short time. Many people have a dream that they can speak fluent English after they studied abroad. It might be ture, but there is no short cut on learning. You need to spend time and practice over and over again. I am trying to learn some slang from movies. But it is a little difficult for me to understand what they are saying.
