Can you study something HARD?
Hi All,
For every student who studies the English language, there comes the point when we want to express just how much effort we are putting in to improve our English.
And the sentence I hear so many of us say is:
"I study English hard."
1. Is the sentence grammatically correct?
2. How formal or informal does it sound?
3. Would a native English speaker ever say he or she is STUDYING SOMETHING HARD?"
4. Is there a better way to rewrite the above sentence?
Thank you for reading my post!

Thank you for answering the question, Mister Micawber.
However, I just confirmed with three native speakers (American born) in person that, while grammatically correct, the sentence in question does sound somewhat odd indeed. On the other hand, this another teacher (also an American-born native speaker) from a different institute disagreed and insisted that it sounds fine. They are all

mizansinha007Can I write "I study hard English"No; that would mean that the particular English is hard (for instance, you study only the difficult words).
