Wow, I understand!

Hi everyone! Today I want to share my gladness with you.

I have begun [1] to understand real English speech! Not only the speech of English teachers, not only the speech in "VOA Special English", but also the speech of the real people! This morning I saw a/one [2] video lecture about functional programming (it's for my work), and I understood almost 95% of it! Wow, it was great!  The only words I didn't understand/get/catch were ones I hadn't previously learned.

I love the English language!

[1]  If you use the "present perfect tense," it tells us that what happened in the past (you began to understand English speech) is very important to you at the time you speak or write.

[2]  Use "a" if it is not important to emphasize the exact number.  Use "one" if it is important to emphasize that you saw ONE video, not two, not three, not four, etc.
