Hi Ali,

 

I have many years of experience teaching ESL.  I can tell you that the ability to learn English (or any language) as an adult has nothing to do with intelligence!  Very smart people sometimes have trouble learning a new language.  Your trouble with English doesn't mean you are stupid or lazy!  It just means that your brain works differently from others who learn English more quickly.

 

I would be happy to tutor you if you would like.  You can check out my profile and contact me for details.  I can discount my usual rate for you.

 

Otherwise, continue watching TV (which is usually better than listening to the radio) and reading.  I don't suggest listening to music, as the English used in songs isn't always normal English.  Reading will help grow your vocabulary.  I hope this helps.
