First Notebook Entry

Here is my first notebook entry, let me introduce myself. I am Neha from India (south Asia); my native language is Hindi, and I'm here at Italki trying to improve my English* for better communication. I have been practicing English for the past *year, which includes reading newspapers, watching Hollywood movies and memorizing English words and grammar rules. Although sometimes I feel that I am competent enough to understand whole movie dialogues without subtitles, at the time of speaking, I often feel, Was that right? Was the word I used right? or, if wrong, what was my impression on the other person?
Anyway, I also know practice makes perfect :) Let me discuss something about India: India is a beautiful country of South Asia (I've never been outside India, movies are the only source through which I explore the rest of world.) Ruled by the British for more than 199 years, *English is our second language for government official works and that mode of communication.
Some suggestions for the people who are planning to visit India: India is a beautiful place, but care should be taken before trusting anybody, whether the person is male or female. Proper homework is necessary, and caution should be taken around those who would defraud people, who are not liable for being human.
Your dignity is our responsibility :)
Thanks for reading, your suggestion is valuable.

Great entry, Neha! especially use of words and phrases: "mode of communication", "homework", "liable", and others.

Remember, 'I' is always capitalized; it's just a weird rule in English, maybe because it is easier to write that way.

You can use italics (slanted writing) to represent thinking inside one's own head.

De- usually means 'to undo', but in the case of 'defraud', it doesn't mean to take away fraud; it just turns the noun 'fraud' into a verb.
