I've been having trouble in keeping up my motivation to study English. Recently my environment has changed in many ways, so don't have many opportunities to use English now. I feel my passion toward the language is pretty much fading out. Do you guys have any tips to hang in there in a such situation?

I think if you find an email exchange with someone to study English and maybe share your language you will find a new motivation.

Good luck!

I agree with rebecca

1. try to make freinds who speak english online or offline. and keep in touch, share your experiences.

2. buy written-in-english books(or you can use just internet) which has subject related to your interest and hobby. don't you think it'll encourage your motivation?
if you don't have any hobby, or choosing books bothers you..
I'll recommend a site I like, only in case you're interested.

Thanks for anwering my question. Very Happy I appreciate it.

Actually I have tried all these: I have several chat/email/snailmail pals, subscribe to mags and read books written in English on my interests, watch movies as many as I can. But they are not working quite well.

I think that the only way to solve your problem is to live in an English-speaking country

Bye
