Nothing really, just a useless entry to entertain myself with... So I'm starting to learn Danish. REALLY learn, not just "play around" with it. Since this notebook should be written in a language I'm learning, then I should probably write it in Danish, but I'm not yet on that level. Hopefully soon. Strictly speaking I'm already writing in a language I'm learning, since English is not my native tongue, but I've been practicing written English for a while now, so I guess that doesn't really count. I'm far from 'native level', but sometimes I do think in English when I'm using the language. English is somehow a safe haven for me. I can't really explain why, but I feel comfortable about it... about using it (even if I'm making mistakes)... and I really love the fact that - since so many people speak it - it can connect me with a lot of different human beings coming from so many backgrounds... people I would otherwise not be able to understand. Many often complain about the English language dominating everything. Sure, it has its disadvantages, but the benefits are a lot more important IMHO... I'm far from an extroverted person and it connects even me with the outside world. It opened my mind... and it opened more than that: it opened opportunities otherwise closed to me. I mean I - a Hungarian - am going to learn Danish from a Danish man while using English as a connecting language. Isn't that amazing?

So I'm starting to learn Danish. REALLY learn, not just to "play around" with it. Since this notebook should be written in a language I'm learning, then I should probably write it in Danish, but I'm not yet on that level. Hopefully soon.
Strictly speaking, I'm already writing in a language I'm learning, since English is not my native tongue, but I've been practising written English for a while now, so I guess that doesn't really count. I'm far from 'native level', but sometimes I do think in English when I'm using the language.
English is somehow a safe haven for me. I can't really explain why, but I feel comfortable about it... about using it (even if I'm making mistakes)... and I really love the fact that - since so many people speak it -** it can connect me with a lot of different human beings [coming] from [so] many backgrounds... people I would otherwise not be able to understand.
Many [often] complain about [the] English [language]* dominating everything. Sure, it has its disadvantages, but the benefits are a lot more important ?IMHO?... I'm far from being an extrovert and it connects even me with the outside world. It has opened my mind... and [it opened] more [than that]: it opened opportunities otherwise closed to me. I mean I, a Hungarian,** am going to learn Danish from a Danish man while using English as a connecting language. Isn't that amazing?

[optional words here]

*or, ... complain about English dominating..

** -, - can also be used for emphasis (if that is what you meant?)

Very well written and entertaining.
