批改

One thing that I've experienced in learning a language is it's really hard to break a habit after forming it.

For example: Before I started to take English serious again, I'd always pronounced "ship" like "sheep" without realizing it's a serious issue in pronunciation.

Now when I think about it again, many of my grammar mistakes were NOT made because of my lack of knowledge but worse: BAD HABIT.

I've kept using bad grammars for YEARS without anyone pointing it out (mostly because I use English on the Internet for my entertainment, not for education purpose).

For new learners, it's easy for them to learn new things because they didn't have anything to make them confused.

Hence.it's easier for them to form new good habits.

But for intermediate learner, getting rid of the bad ones is annoying.

I have to balance out between "using language naturally" and "be extremely careful with what I have to say".

Has anyone experienced the same thing like this?

If you could, please be specific (maybe you could write it down steps by steps,please?) about how you managed to overcome this obstacle and reach new level of fluency.Thanks a lot!
