Hi fairyfountain
How old are you? Why are your sentences separated (not in paragrpaphs)? You're *extremely* dedicated I think!!! Good luck with your learning :-)

It's funny that you get so amped up all the time! I thought it was the Latinas who had firery tempers not the French! You guys are meant to be the lovers
What was also funny was that right after you said you didn't like being asked for personal details like your age, Jar-Ptitsa asked you how old you are haha.
I also dont like the age myth, the one you read about in the magazine, I can learn anything not just languages faster now than I could when I was under the age of 12. Rather than just listening to anything you could always go for things you're more interested in, if for example you liked animals a lot you would be able to find wildlife documentaries online and the same goes for reading. If you want a large source of English in American accents, there's tons of sitcoms you can stream. (I can give you names if you like but theres probably translated ones on French TV so you probably already know of a lot.)
As I've seen you told before, your writtern English is better than a lot of Native speakers, this isn't just your spelling and grammar but also your sentence composition and I'd bet your spoken is decent aswell...just try to enjoy your learning rather than fight it and get angry! Although, thats more entertaining for me.
It's great to see someone with so much drive and ambition for learning something.
Edit: I can arrange some time with you to talk to you directly via voice or text if you would like. It would be purely from the point of view of helping you improve and providing an environment where you can make as many mistakes as you like and have help with them without someone being an asshole about it which seems to be what you've suffered before.
I'm southern English so I obviously don't have an American accent if that is what you're directly trying to obtain but chances are I'll be more helpful than your pen pals.

He probably thought I'd explode on him, but I wouldn't do that :) Making me angry is difficult, even if I get passionate about things pretty easily.

i'm a girl, not therfore "he". I didn't mean this would be funny or a joke. sorry., I didn;t mremember me that you had said you didn't like being asked for perosnal details like your age. "I'd explode on him" you would be very angry? no, I didn't think. I've asked you yoru age because I'm 17 and at the moment think about my studies and you wrote:

Sadly enough, the notes I read about some competitive examination you have to take in France if you want to become an English teacher just scared me to death - the translation part of the examination is incredibly difficult, and the examination seems to be hard as hell on the whole. |

I don't exaclty know what you ask me. if your age hasn't to do with your log, or the study? are you angry with me? please don't be angry, i didn;t want an argument, I only thought maybe you're 17 and you would like to be English teacher but the examination's too difficult, for exmaple. I thought that you told those things, but i'm not sure.
