Hello everyone!
My name is Maria, and I am learning English. I know - boring! I wish I could spend this time on another language, such as Dutch, Spanish or Portuguese, but I have a proficiency exam coming, and this is English time. Who am I kidding, I'm loving it! The perfect excuse to watch all tv shows in the world, read articles and blogs endlessly, indulge in language learning advice (without that gnawing feeling that I must be actually learning the language now rather then reading about it...), read crime stories and write lengthy e-mails to cute British guys I met in the pub. To prepare for exam, I also started to do things I never did before, like listening. I've always hated radio, but now I see that all these podcasts are actually fun. I also like to transcribe podcasts into text and that doing shadowing - reciting them together with original speaker. I found my speech apparatus is not very trained to produce long speeches in English, so I am working on that too by simply reading aloud as much as I can (or as much as my roommate will bear). Anyways, to discipline myself (because I need it, a lazy ass I am) I decided to keep a personal language learning log. Cheers to all language learners out there! If anyone here has had a Cambridge Proficiency exam experience, don't be a stranger. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Good luck!
I don't plan to sit for CPE but I'm working on my English as I want to improve it and reach C2 level. 1 person has voted this message useful |
