First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hi,
I'd like to practice English because soon I will probably have to teach classes in the U.K. I'm going to have a good translator available but I prefer to make myself as understandable as possible in any possible way. Communication is probably the only skill that one can lose by just going to a foreign country :-)

Note:  "just going in a foreign country" is better said "by just being in a foreign country" or "when one goes to a foregin country"
