studying English
Tuesday, 28. March 2006, 15:21:42
I have been to South Africa for 2 years now. Roughly, my life is going up like Johannesburg stock index, but sometimes I do feel that there is someting missing.
Like english for instance, two years ago, I couldn't image myself wroking in an English company and using English as a working language everyday, because when I was young I didn't pay much attentions for English classes, I was too naughty in school. now although I can understand and speak English well, but I am at the end of my wits when it comes to writing. when I need write a formal document or report, what I normally do is that I would compose the document really fast then quickly take it to the girl next to my office to ask her to check it before I send or email it out. for this, from time to time, I have contributed a lot of chocolate to her.
I do not want to do this anymore. so now I force myself to start a blog only use English, I am not worried about people laughing at my mistake any more, I believe there is a break point somewhere, and I am getting there.

The more you write and use the English the better off you will be and the more you will see your words and the areas you need to work on like in spelling or the wording of sentances.
Keep writing and I can help you if you want me to . I did teach English in Egypt however, I am not a teacher by degree.
Thank you for allowing me to use your photos too. they are wonderful.

I'm kind of a fellow sufferer. Sometimes I have to force myself to write English in my blog which is such a big difference to me from writing in German. Anyways, for a non-native speaker your English seems to be pretty good.
Keep well

it depends on how much chocolate you would like to offer.

I like chocolate, but I can't afford myself it too much, I have a toothache before I ate it.

I have the same problem as you...I am a chinese and I come to my company's world headquanters for a six-month training assignment. So now I have to use english in both my life and work. It's a challenge to me , however , I regard it as a good opportunity to learn more and experience more here. I believe we both can improve english greatly by practising more...by the way , I downloaded Katie Melua's "Nine Millions Bicycles" which is so beautiful...thanks!

For example, about the weather...What is the weather today? In Moscow is too cloudly today, but it's no rain.
