Don't make my mistakes. Hello everybody! Yesterday I joned Italki. Do you want to know why? Actually it is a sad story. I studied English and German at the University. When I graduated I could speak both languages, take part in almost any conversation. I dreamed of working in an international company, was eager to continue studying foreign languages. French, Japanese were on my list. Something went wrong though I didn't notice it. I found a job. Started to earn money. The problem was that the company I was working for did not need my knowledge of foreign languages. Several years passed. I married, gave birth to a wonderful baby and somehow forgott about my passion for foreign languages. Now I'm eager to change my job, but when I go to interviews and try to speak English or German, it sounds awful. I used to be so sure, so selfconfident and now I understand why one must use foreign languages on everyday basis. Now I'm trying so hard to regain fluent speaking and my self-confidence. I think I can do it. What I mean to say is guys, don't make my mistakes. Don't think that you know everything about a language and it will last forever. It won't.
