First little step When I had written a first little article on italki website, I decided that I need to write at least a small article daily in order to practice my writing skills. I decided to choose a small topic every day and write at least a couple paragraphs for each topic. But after some time I realized that I just can’t figure out a proper subject to discuss. I spent the whole day trying to choose at least one thing that I can write about, but the only thought that came to my mind was just describing all that confusion happening in my head and this is exactly what I am doing right now. Fortunately, I recently realized that the way I learned the language all these years was not complete and I practiced only one aspect of the language and completely forgot about the other. Few years ago I decided that if I would watch tons of TV series and will endlessly listen to podcasts, my foreign language proficiency will boost noticeably, but luckily after just 30 years of my life (:)) I understood that I was wrong. So now I have roughly another 30-35 years (if the God will allow me such a generous lifespan) to finally get my language skills to more fluent levels where I would not need a long pauses trying to remember the word I wanted to say, or figuring out how to say something grammatically correct and when I just can express my own thoughts casually even with some level of accent and with improper intonation. And this is one of the first steps toward that goal. If I can’t fly towards my goal, I will drive; if I can’t drive – I will run; if I can’t run – I will walk; if I can’t walk – I will crawl; and if I can’t crawl – I will lay towards my goal. Thank you to those who can correct me on this.
