The Difficulties in Learn English 

Problems in Learning English and ways to Improve Them 

I first learned English in elementary school or junior high school was a bit forgotten. but in my early learning English was practically very difficult because English is not our everyday language used. not so easy for me to learn English. I tried to like it little by little began to be but when I found the vocabulary difficult to understand or understood the nature lazy and do not want to learn arises because in learning English vocabulary words each having a different meaning or significance that makes me not want to learn the English name.
  After high school I met again with the English name is where I start to like it again trying to understand the meaning and the meaning of each vocabulary word slowly by slowly I began to be but it was just
slightly.
  Difficulties in the English language that I think in terms of how to talk, listen and to understand, interpret and understand the vocabulary practically very difficult. but it's never too late to learn.

Of course, with us learning a language must relate to :
learn vocabulary in the language ( Vocabulary )
manner of writing sentences of the language ( grammar , tenses )
reading , listening and rewriting the language ( Reading , Listening and Writing )
direct conversation ( Conversation )
and I think that the difficulty in learning the English language is in a sentence syntax ( grammar , tenses ) and direct conversational English Listening ( Listening ) .

Grammar
grammar same sense as EYD ( Spelling Enhanced ) in Indonesian is studying the rules of good writing and true . in grammar , the words are divided into 8 groups . namely :
1 . Noun (noun )
2 . Pronoun ( pronoun )
3 . Adjective ( adjective)
4 . Verb (verb )
5 . Adverb ( adverb )
6 . Preposition ( preposition )
7 . Conjunction ( conjunctive )
8 . INTERJECTION ( interjection )

tenses
tenses is a form of the verb grammar that shows the time occurrence of an act or event and its completion stage .
In English tenses are classified into 16 , each of which has different uses and different functions .

listening
listen to live conversations in a foreign language was a bit difficult for me , tuh other terms such as ‘ ethnic Javanese ‘ meeting ‘ Batak tribe ‘ and between the tribes and the other one will not understand the language or communicating with each other if one of the tribes that no one wants to learn the language of another tribe or mutual learning – teaching . of course, with the unifying language or primary language is Indonesian .
difficulties in language learning can we skip if emng why we ‘ve got used to, because I think that language is practice .

DUNIA SEAL

Pada Awalnya, Dunia ini kosong. Kegelapan dan Cahaya terbentuk dari kekosongan.  Yang tersisa hanya daratan kematian setelah kehancuran dunia.
Malkuth mengambil sesuatu dari lautan api dan melemparkannya ke angkasa. Benda itu memenuhi langit dan yang terbesar di antara mereka menjadi Matahari yang tidak pernah berhenti bersinar. Kemudian, Yesod membuat mata air yang memadamkan api berkobar  dan membanjiri dunia. Lalu Hod membuat benua menggunakan tanah. Dean membangun Pilar Logam. Kemudian Tipareth menanam tanaman di atas tanah, bentuk dunia ini mulai terlihat.
Ketika dunia pertama kali diciptakan semua orang hidup berlimpah dan damai di bawah bantuan Elim.

Kekacauan terjadi saat Balie dilahirkan. Balie dilahirkan dari bayangan Elim.
Kehancuran Metatron muncul dari bayangan Elim Pemimpin Kettere.
Raziel sang Kelicikan dari Hokma sang Bijak,
Sakiel sang Peperangan dari Vinagh sang Pelindung,
Zadkiel sang Keganasan dari Hesed sang Pengampun,
Samael Penghukum dari Dean Kekuatan,
Zikael Pendendam dari Tiphareth Kecantikan,
Hanaiel Kesialan dari Neza Keberuntungan,
Lanael Kegelapan dari Hod Wibawa,
Galadriel Kekacauan dari Yesod Pengatur,
Sandalpon Penghancur dari Malkuth Pencipta.
Balie dibangkitkan dan mulai menghancurkan dunia. Penyakit, kelaparan, dan peperangan disebar dari mereka.
Ketika semua itu terjadi, Sandalpon menculik Malkuth dan dibawa ke guanya. Malkuth muda, baru saja dibangkitkan, pergi mencari leluhurnya di gua Sandalpon.
Ketika Malkuth muda tiba di tempat tinggal milik Sandalpon, Malkuth telah mati sebelumnya. Dan saat itu Sandalpon muda baru saja berganti kulit. Malkuth muda menanyakan mayat ibunya, tapi Sandalpon menelan mayatnya tanpa menjawab apapun.
Malkuth muda, marah besar, yang kemudian melemparkan bola petir dan perang dimulai! Perang antara Elim dan Balie berlangsung selama 7000 hari dan mereka tidak berhenti sama sekali hingga dunia yang mereka ciptakan telah menjadi rata.
Batas dari Air, Tanah, Besi, Pohon, dan Api lenyap. Langit dan Bumi tidak dapat lagi menahan apapun dan dunia runtuh menjadi retakan tak berujung.
Elim dan Balie terluka parah dan kemudian terjatuh ke dalam jurang ambang kematian.

Saat itu, Elios dengan cepat memegang potongan tanah yang runtuh. Elios memasang empat tiang untuk menahan tanah tersebut dan mengumpulkan semua Elim, Balie, dan mahluk yang sekarat di atasnya.

Saat itulah Shiltz diciptakan!
Elios berkata pada Elim, “Bukalah matamu. Hiduplah seperti dunia yang telah dihidupkan. Tetapi aku tidak mengijinkan perang lagi di tanah ini. Kalian tidak dapat bertemu satu sama lain kembali.”
Oleh karena alasan itu, mereka memilih ras sebagai wakil peperangan mereka. Para Elim memilih ras manusia dan para Balie memilih Para Bale. Bale merupakan mahluk yang tumbuh dari kekacauan. Mereka memiliki tingkat kepandaian yang rendah tapi sangat kuat dan kejam.
Elim dibangkitkan tanpa kehidupan dan kekuatan,  Balie dibuka dari bayangan mereka. Elim menghilang dari dunia dan hanya Balie yang tersisa, dan kepandaian mereka ditinggalkan. Beberapa dari mereka mengulang putaran kematian dan kebangkitan dari tubuh manusia atau tidur tanpa wujud.
