How I study English

I really like to study English. I studied abroad in America for a year and I learned how to have conversations and many words. After I backed I started to learn grammar and words. Now I talk to exchange students in my school in English to keep my English skills and watch movies or dramas in English without subtitles before I go to sleep. When I started to do that, I couldn’t even understand what is going on in the movies or dramas, but now I can understand 70% of them without subtitles. Posting something in English on blog works too!
