Back to France

Hello, I'm I've just coming come back from Yellowstone and the West Coast where I spent three weeks with my children and some friends. Unfortunately, I have to come go back to work tomorrow, but for now, I'm looking at my 2,937 photos and trying to stay, at least in my head ("mind" sounds slightly more natural), in that awesome country and fantastic landscapes (you could either say "those fantastic landscapes" if you want to keep the plural, or you could say "fantastic landscape" to keep the singular/agree with the "that") for a while. It was a pleasure to speak English during that time, and see that I was able to have short conversations with native americans (in American English, when we hear "native americans," we generally think this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States. If you did speak with Native Americans, this still works. But if you mean Americans in general, you can just say "Americans" or "American citizens"). I still need to get learn more vocabulary and listen again and again to understand even at a rapid speed of speaking (this sounds slightly awkward. Maybe say "and improve my listening skills in order to understand rapid English") (my TV is open right now on an English-speaking spoken channel (sounds more natural to say "my TV is set to an English-speaking channel right now)), but I'm on the right way track.
As you can see, I still have to make some efforts ("I still have some work to do"/"I still need to practice" ?), so thanks for correcting.

Great notebook entry! Please don't let the blue text intimidate you; most of my corrections are very superficial. You definitely have a very strong command of English. Glad you enjoyed your visit to the US. Thanks for sharing your experience on here, and good luck with your studies!

Back to France

Hello, I just got back from Yellowstone and the west coast. I spent three weeks with my children and some friends. Unfortunately, I have to go back to work tomorrow, but for now I'm looking at my 2937 photos and trying to stay, at least in my head, in that awesome country with fantastic landscapes for a while. It was a pleasure to speak english during that time and see that I was able to have short conversations with americans (or native speakers) (In the US, Native Americans refer to "indians," for example Mayan, Aztec, Iroquoi who were on the continent before europe exploration). I still need to get more vocabulary and listen again and again to understand the rapid speed of speaking (my TV is open right now on an english spoken channel), but I'm on track.
As you can see, I still have to put in some effort. Thanks for correcting me.
