Hi everyone,

 

Please visit my blog called “The Challenge of Learning US English”. Why did I begin this blog? I have had many thoughts about learning English that I’d like to share. I began to write these thoughts in an article, but then I realized that one article wasn't enough. Instead, I would need to write a series of 2-3 entries. However, a series was still not enough. My ideas were like a tree and new branches of thoughts continuously sprouted from my mind. So why not begin my own blog about it? Some of my topics are serious, some of them are just for fun.

 

First of all, let me give you some details. I’m 45 and I’ve been learning English for ages. I started at the age of 12, but had many breaks. If I added up my most active periods of learning, the total wouldn’t be more than 4-5 years.

 

During this long period of time, I’ve met several challenges. I intentionally wrote the word challenge, not the word difficulty. A challenge has the power to push you forward and motivate you. To learn a foreign language is not easy, but it’s beautiful. It’s a discovery of different culture, different people.

I’d like to show how I discovered (and am continuing to discover!) this beautiful language. I’m not a native speaker and I’m not a perfect English speaker. Nor am I a teacher. So I'm not interested in teaching English at all. Instead, I would like to show language learning from the perspective of a language learner.
