practice. (<---------vaguely imperative)
practice. (<---------a noun)
practice. (<---------you are abjured.)
my favorite style book is by raymond queneau.
it doesn't translate easily into english, but it is translated (from french).
the book tells the same story 40 ways.
english is a small set of rules beneath which you find an enormous heap of idiomatic usages. the rules set you string idioms together. nothing really makes much sense.
korean is a rational language.
english is an ant heap.
be patient and practice more. keep practicing. put stuff up here or start a journal in the journal zone and put stuff there. just keep writing.
