First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I grew up in Egypt. My native language is Arabic. I'm learning English as a second language.
I think I'm good at reading. I can read about most subjects on the internet with 90% accuracy or so. I think I'm also good at writing. I can write pretty well.
I also listen to many courses on various subjects, all presented by native speakers. I get the full meaning of the lectures. I get 95% of the actual words said in lectures.
But when watching movies, I can get only 50% of the words said, as they speak the everyday spoken language with their normal speed and normal accent, unlike the English spoken on courses which is slower and with an accent that is much easier to understand. I really want to improve this.

My major weakness is speaking, as I don't practice it much. I hope this wonderful website will help me improve my English.

 

A few notes:

"everyday" v. "every day": "Everyday" refers to something that is commonplace or repetitive, i.e. "My everyday activities include reading, cooking, and running." "Every day" means that the action happens literally every day, i.e. "I go running every day" or "I study English every day." 

 

When writing in American English, there are no spaces between words and punctuation. I know that in French there is usually a space between words and punctuation marks, like this: "Hello , my friend ." In American English, however, the punctuation occurs right next to the word. 

 

I think you're well on your way to achieving greater fluency in English! Good luck!
