I struggled with learning English because I didn’t grow up in an English-speaking country, and few people around me spoke English well.

After learning basic grammar and vocabulary, I immersed myself in English by watching movies and listening to podcasts.

However, while consuming English content, I encountered so many new expressions and unfamiliar words that I found myself stopping to look things up almost constantly.

As a result, watching Oppenheimer, a three-hour film, ended up taking me nearly seven hours.
