A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of online courses which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

I think all languages are hard to learn.
Do you think it's easy memorizing like millions of Chinese characters? Or memorizing the Spanish words that don't conjugate normally? Or etc etc in other languages?
