I have English as my second language, but despite currently using it even more than my own native language I just couldn't seem to improve it beyond the intermediate level I had now. I still struggle to write essays or craft beautiful poems. I tried reading many of the self-help books out there (i.e, Reader's Digest's How to Speak and Write Better) but none of these seemed to help. Is this as how many people say it "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"?
