Languages: Why some learn faster?
Some ESL/EFL students become frustrated when they are not learning English as quickly as they expect. Others learners feel depressed when they seem to be making progress one day, and level off or appear not to make progress for some time.
What have been your experiences in learning English? Why do some students learn faster than others? How can students improve their language skills?

I think successful learners are usually those highly motivated students who never miss the chance to practice their English. Also, They're often trying to experiment with different learning strategies to give their English a boost. Not being too self-conscious is also key to improving their language skills. It's ok to make mistakes and there's a lot to be learned from them.

I think the successful way to improve language is: "more read more practice", never give up any channel to learn it, even the result is got a little.
Those person learn language faster may be follow a valuable study guideline and have self-motivated by their belief/talent and effort.
Thanks
Why some learn faster? Why I learn so slower? I also think why I can’t get well ESL Cyber Listening Lab (Medium), but I can get them well from reading. Asking and complaining myself. I study English at home from internet, not in classroom, so there are not exams, not press in order to certificates. And don’t have my nose in the books so hard so that I can’t improve my English so quickly. If focusing on English, having the chance communion English with other people, and accumulating abundant vocabularies. Eating off English step by step.
I've studied English since 1998, and I'm not fluent yet. In fact, I just studied very hard 2 years, and I realize that English needs to part of day-by-day activities if you wanna be fluent.
I re-started studying seriously last November and I've improved my listening and speaking a lot. My tip is study hard even when you don't see a huge improvement.
Take myself as an example. I had a bad habit of learning English---ignoring English when I'm not ready for learning English. For example, the web forum I browse everyday mix Chinese and English articles together. Some English articles are translated by others into Chinese. I usually skiped English one, and read the Chinese version. Maybe someone thinks it doesn't matter. However I think this attitude is absolutely wrong. It made me hard to concentrate on learning English. Due to the bad experience, I try my best to read and listen all English imformation wherever they come from, whenever they come.
From my point of view, a good foreign-language-learner is the one who are highly movitated at first. They find it interested and stimulated when they learn them, and after a long time it becomes their passion. Another factor that makes someone learn faster than others is pratice. We often hear that pratice makes perfect, and it becomes truism.
From my point of view, people learn at their own pace, with the aid of a teacher, or some other resources. And we also need to consider the way people learn; some are good for one skill, others for another skill. Every person must find his/her own learning style.
