The Portrait of a Learner of English A pupil who learns English in our class has been doing it for 7 years. He learns it because he wants to use English in his future job and his parent want him to do it. An average pupil learning English in our class thinks it is possible to learn English at school and at home and the most effective methods of learning English are reading and translating texts and having vocabulary drills. The English language is difficult to learn for pupils. The most difficult part of learning English is intonation. But in general the pupils interviewed think they know English well.
