Forming an adjective using hyphen

I am not particularly very strong in English Language. In fact i have a major problem in pronunciations.Concerted efforts made to address this problem has not yielded much results.I guess this has to do with my early attempts at learning which were largely self-effort based.Though i love good writings when i see them.
It may sound strange but this is the very first time i can recall in my study of English reading about this topic - creating adjective using hyphen.
Please keep this up.
