History of my English For some reason, I've never liked to learn foreign languages. In school it wasn't serious, I even don't remember what we did on English lessons. At University there were tons of mathematics and computer stuff so English was forsaken and completely forgotten. All in all, English from University reminds me only about two things in my life - problems on exam and a shame on postgraduate qualifying examination for the candidate degree (I tried to talk about scientific paper, it was horrifying... but surprisingly, still enough to pass. To be honest, I don't know what I had to do to fail on this exam. Maybe speak French :) ) Then I had several attempts to learn English at my work. Things got better, because I needed English in my job - technical articles concealing precious information for some reason were all written in English. Moreover, an employer of mine paid for English lessons at office for some time. This lessons seemed to be more effective than all my prior altogether. That's where I revealed that "I'm going" can signify "future". I was stunned :) The world as I'd known it was completely changed. Forever... Modesty aside, sooner or later I deserved to call myself "pre-intermmediate" and decided that it's enough (I even didn't decide anything, other things just took all my time). I continued to live my serene life unaware of what is waiting for me in years ahead. To be continued ...
