First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English because I don't use English often and it got sooo bad. I have forgotten so many words and grammar. I want to refresh my knowledge. I also want to find friends from the USA because I want to understand the hollywood movie actors ;-) I notice that I have problem understanding people from the West Coast. The East Coast (New York for example) is OK.

My native language is German. I grew up in a small town near Dortmund (Ruhrgebiet). Now I am living near Düsseldorf. I came here because of work.

I have a lot of interests: First my two cats - I love them.  When I go out with friends, I prefer going to (dinner)/(a diner), watching a movie in the cinema, drive in line skates, going to the lake to relax, swimming, or reading a book. . . and much more.

Hallo Narnja,  Ihr erster Eintrag ist gut geschrieben. Sie haben gute Englischkenntnisse.   Viele Grüße aus Amerika!   :)
