Introducing myself.
Hello everyone!
Please let me introduce myself :)
I'm Bryan and Korean. My age is 34 years old and I'm working as IT engineer especially Oracle DBA.
When I went to middle school, I started learning English. I learned English alphabet, words, sentence, grammer except speaking and coversation. Becasue in those long-ago days, there are not a Skype and an italki.com. :)
Anyway, I have not improved my speaking and conversation during 20 years. But in front of last year, my company gave to me mission impossible. That mission was teaching foreigner of begginer about Oracle database in English.
I felt nervous and tried to practice English conversation with online English teacher. But every time when my teacher called me "Mr. Bryan~", I felt like "Mr. Andersen~" called by agency Smith in the movie, The Matrix.
Finally, I found italki.com. I met good language exchange partner and could practice speaking and conversation. My skill was getting more good slowly. I accomplished my first lesson of Oracle database in English for two days and half a day. I archived second lesson for three days and half a day. And last one was for a day and a half.
Through learning English with foreign friends have various nationality, I feel real interest and to learn English became to my hobby not study. And I realized how world is big, how many people are there,how small me and my thinking are.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people who make italki.com and help me learn English.
Special thanks
