Learning English

I have been studying English since i was the sixth grade but i was just becuase i had to. I never wanted to learn English and we used to memorize vocabulary all the time and then we were tested on them just like it is going to help to speak better. It was the same untill 12 grade when i graduated from high school and i can tell that English level that i was studying did not change since the sixth grade, i used to go to exams without studying and still get the highest mark. After high school i attended a canadian college called '' The college of north atlantic'' then things started to change and i realized the difference but it is nothing comparing when i came here to calgary, i did not feel comfertable with my English at all. Maybe because everybody here speaks English and they are realy good at it also the environment when everything around you is in English and i think this is the difference between here and wher i used to live. My English improved but i still have many things to learn and i hope by the end of EAP3 i would improve my English more.
