Second language.
August 24, 2009One day, a friend said to me, “You have a nice blog. And I never knew your English writing is so good.” I was so embarrassed. English is my second language. Never have I felt that my English writing can be considered good. When I was in college, I had this so called Essay Writing and Group Discussion Phobia. Not to mention presentation. Don’t even go there. I wished my English could be as fluent as the native speakers. I wished I could write out my thoughts freely without any grammatical errors. I wished I could express my opinion without having to pause like 15 times. By God’s grace and the professors’ mercies, I got through English 101 and 102.
My Chinese is not any better. I can google the Chinese words by typing in the English way faster then I can type in any Chinese typing program. Sad!
I’m still learning and practicing this second language. If you read any annoying grammatical error or even something not making sense on here, please just pretend you didn’t see and use your best imagination to guess what I mean. It’ll help save my ego.
Annabelle can now write some three letter words. Way to go baby! I can’t wait to learn some English slang from you.
