An Old Fashioned Girl (Book) Today I started to read "An Old Fashioned Girl", one of my many books I have in English, those books were a gift that a neightbour (vecina) gave to me about more than 5 months ago. I know I need to do my best to improve my vocabulary, perhaps (sin embargo) there are so many words I still could´nt understand! One of my friend (Who studys English at the University with me) told me that those gift books, the verbs, grammar and some prepositions are in Old English. The thing is, I can understand the context (wich is so important, at least) but words like "boldly", "beseeching", "lawlessness", "bewilderment", "leisurely" ,"thingumbob", "crinkles"... and so on, words that are completly (completamente) news and strangers to me! The worst thing is I have two English dictionaries, but they don´t have those words. Mmm, maybe I have to buy an Oxford dictionary... I had been read a few of pags about this book, it seems very interesting and great (Mmm, I don´t know how I could translate "Pese a no entenderlo del todo", in English) I´m trying to read it aloud to can practise my english reading too. In the morning, like a wrote before, I was reading aloud and then a guy looked at me surprised and he turned his head around when I felt observed (Observada, sintiendo su mirada) by him. It was a little funny to me, only I have the chance to speak English in my University, out of there, I don´t have many people to talk it. My dad knows, but it´s very basic, otherwise we have Internet and we could do almost everything with it.

I´m like a noob here, lol Hello everyone! Ok I´m going to write a short note because I found this amazing website too late and in a few minutes I have to go to bed. I´m gonna explain all that I need/looking for to a language partner: It (The person) has to know very very (very) well english, if you are a native, then so much better :) Why? Because I´m studyin English in the University as a career, so I need to practise my English all the time, I want to improve my oral and writing abilities :) In exchange (A cambio), I can teach you (and talk/write) to you spanish, because I´m Venezuelan and I was told I have a good talent (and patience) for teach , let´s see what if that true ;) Yes, I have Skype but I´m not online all the time, so if you´re interested, we´d could talk about it. I love to read and I love to listen English TV´s Shows. One of my favorite channels is E! I like watching Animes (Japanese Animation, if you didn´t know it) and reading mangas. I would like to learn Japanese (watching animes I know bassic things) and chinese someday (Actually, I was learning Chinese Mandarin last year, But I had to let it go to focuss (enfocarme) only in English) I don´t have problems to teach spanish (even grammar spanish) if you want, I think we all here to help each other. I hope to learn very very much, and I´m not going to angry with you if you correct me all (or some) of my little "esays" PS. I LOVE SUSHI!!! Don´t you??
