Do you feel like your English learning has slowed or stopped？even though you're still working hard？Part of the explanation is how language works. In all languages a tiny number of words are used very frequently.so you learn them through constant repetition. But the majority of words are rare.Just 100 words make up 50% of most English. But to get to 98% you need 10000 words. So to learn English vocabulary only by reading. in the first year you would only need to read for five minutes a day. But in the tenth year you would need to read for seventy one minutes per day. to learn the same amount of words. And that's why learning English is the work of a lifetime.
