My first notebook! Hi my name is Chris, I'm 20 years old, I've been studying English for many years now and I believe that I'm at the intermediate level but I still want to improve my English and be really fluent in it. English is our second language here in the Philippines and I get to speak to my teachers before when I was a student but I didn't really liked speaking English to anyone because I never had an interest learning this language, at schools, we are required to speak English specially during class recitations, activities and reports and I remember I had this English subject teacher on high school that was really strict, she would punish us by making us stand for 30 minutes (if there is more natural way to say this please tell me) if we fail to speak simple sentences in English, I believe that she really has an anger issues lol, but overall I think that she did a good job teaching us I mean we wouldn't try force ourselves to study English if it wasn't for her (not really sure about " if it wasn't for her") but anyways right now I'm really interested to learn English, as I said I am at the intermediate level and I think that I have so many things to learn in this language but this time instead of studying the language I will try to learn it by speaking to native speakers via skype, I believe that I can express myself well in this language but there are still many words that confuses me, there are some words that I can't use because I don't know how to apply it in a sentence anyways if anyone wants to help me and be language partners, I offer to teach you Tagalog or maybe you can just teach me for charity :D
