First attempt

Hi everybody! This is my first entry in italki. For the first time in my life, during the last couple of months, I've been seriously studying a language. I'll assist in teaching an international medical course in May, which will be taught in English. Therefore, my goal is to reach a level sufficient to be able to understand and discuss complex academic topics. My weaker point is definitely my written English because I don't have a solid grammar base (honestly, I hate studying grammar), and that's why I decided to give this a try. Looking forward to receiving comments and corrections. Thanks!

Hi Irina, here are some suggestions, good luck! 

Hi everybody! This is my first entry on italki. For the first time in my life, during the last couple of months, I've been studying a language seriously.  I'll (help=assist with; go to = attend. I think attend is the better choice?) an international medical course which will be taught in English in May. Therefore my goal is to reach a level high enough to be able to understand and discuss complex academic topics. My weaker point is definitely my written English because I don't have a solid grammar base (honestly I hate studying grammar), and that's why I decided to give this a try. Looking forward to receiving comments and corrections. Thanks!

Hi everybody! This is my first entry on italki. For the first time in my life, during the last couple of months, I'VE BEEN STUDYING A LANGUAGE seriously. (I've changed the word order: direct objects should follow the transitive verb). I'll assist to an international medical course which will be imparted in english in may. Therefore my goal is to reach a level good enough to be able to understand and discuss complex academic topics. My weaker point definitely is my written english because I don't have a solid grammar base (honestly I hate studying grammar), and that's why I decided to give this a try. Looking forward to receiving comments and corrections. Thanks!

 

If you don't like studying Grammar, - then my explanation may sound awfully boring to you. But there are just two ways of mastering the language: the first one is to understand how it works; and the second one is to read and communicate as much as possible, - to let your brain make its own conclusions without any explanations:) And you'd better use both. So don't avoid Grammar! The fact you don't like it just means that you were taught Grammar in a very boring way.
