TIME is all you need.

TIME is all you need. You need time to digest what you have learned. You need time to assimilate what you have acquired. You need time to develop your awareness of a language itself. Learning is really a LONG way to go. According to psychologists, you have to do something consistently for 3 or 4 weeks before it turns out to be a habit. And a habit is a foundation of leaning a language well. What do you think?

Hi, Sir,
it's so nice to read your message here. You've been here much later than others. I agree with your opinion. Habit and Time decide whether a learner can do their jobs well. I cannot learn grammar well because I haven't cultivated a habit nor taken much time to practice it. I am getting "very" old but I still fool around. I am sorry for myself. I'd suggest that the students who are still young would learn a lesson from my experience. I'd like to thank you, Sir, for your being patient with me (a grammar-learning struggler.) Thanks a million times!

Hi Thera,
It is used as a title of a group urban art show celebrating International Workers Day. The title is “Not a penny off the pay; not a second on the day” (沒錢,不上工), not the one you mentioned earlier.
Originally, this quotation comes from a speech for a strike (in York, England, April 3, 1926) made by Arthur James Cook (1883-1931), British labor leader. I hope it will give you some help!

Hey dear,

I looked everything you posted here. There's nothing like you at all.
Nothing chic, nothing "New York" style. Come on, give us something that's really Jeremy.

your old student who just got married. '_<

I just want to say that Jermey's classes are very useful. I am learning a lot from Sentence combining and Linguistic. Thank you.
