Not so much friday for me today
I have to be at school tomorrow! On a saturday! Yeah.
And also studying. Klausuren!

Mattlocked, your signature looks great
I have seen the "we hated him" post all over my dash on tumblr today, haha.

Emy, this thread is kind of "Twitter".

I'm hungry now, so I have to leave the forum *heavy sigh* and have something for dinner.

No worry that we don't understand, we can ask.
I'm sure my English is wrong quite often. I use to talk to Scandinavian customers the whole day and their English is what they learned in school, like mine; so often wrong. My problem is that I take the "wrong" for "right" after a while.
I'm sure our native speakers here will correct you, if you like them to.

Okay...just had to share

I am an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher, in fact.

Don't worry about making mistakes. We understand you.

You are teacher ? Ouah ! Nice to meet you !
But I would like to write, but I don't have vocabulary for say that I think, it is this problem. Mais, bon, it is not grave.

J'ai mal au dents...I hate my dentist.

Davina · September 22, 2012 10:36 am

Yes Emy do not worry about making mistakes. That is how we learn. When you learn a new language it is normal for passive language to come first. So listening and reading will come before active language speaking and writing. Just keep on practising.

Harriet · September 22, 2012 10:51 am

Emy, how many years have you been learning english now?
When I was your age, my english wouldn't impress anybody.
Actually, it became better only years after school when I dealt with a lot of lyrics.
Be patient with yourself, nobody here expects you to be perfect.
In fact, you can be proud that you are here already.

I guess being sherlocked and thus frequently exposing yourself to the english language will be a much greater help than you can imagine now.
Like Davina said, just keep going!

Emy Klevers · September 22, 2012 10:58 am

Thank you ! You are nice !
So I began to learn English when I was 11 years old, I am good at this language. But sometimes, my teachers weren't good every years...but I try to read, listen and write in English.

In fact I am not a patient girl.

Harriet · September 22, 2012 11:07 am

You have done a good amount of work already to come that far
- and it looks like you are on the best way to go further.

Not being patient will also help you if only it keeps you going.
Remember: Love is a much more vicious motivator

Emy Klevers · September 22, 2012 11:13 am

Thanks !
"Love is a much more vicious motivator" God, it is right

I think that I have a problem because some pages of the forum are white : I don't arrive to read your post correctly.

Harriet · September 22, 2012 11:33 am

Emy, that sometimes happens to me here, too. When my internet is slow and the background still needs loading.

What was it about your dentist?

Emy Klevers · September 22, 2012 12:03 pm

My dentist changed my cord of my brace...( (it is the good vocabulary ? I use Google Traduction...)

Harriet · September 22, 2012 12:29 pm

How awkward! How long will you still need that brace?

Emy Klevers · September 22, 2012 4:02 pm

Two years. Why ?
