Stone oil

I just read an ad about a miraculous stone oil. How do they manage to get this (this seems too specific for this sentence) oil from stone, how hard you should ("do you have to" - or - "does one have to") push on stone to get a single drop of oil? Oh, poor charlatans.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hi! I'm Andrew from Russia. I'd like to find new friends. It would be great to help each other with language practice practice languages. I like movies, growing plants (good, but it might be more acurate to say "gardening"), especially underwater plants, and computer graphics.

Writing my résumé

Today I started a task that turned out to be far more complex than what I was expecting: writing my résumé in English.
Not only is it hard because of English not being is not my mother tongue, but also, the formatting using MS Word can give (Me, one, you, more of a stylistic choice, however a prounoun of some sort should probably be there) serious headaches. I have trouble using tables, which are quite unfriendly, but I feel are required to give my CV the organized, polished and professional look I'm looking for.
But it's fine; if I look at it like a fun challenge, like completing a puzzle or a computer game, then it doesn't seem so tedious anymore. When I finish, I will have learned about MS Word and making résumés in general, I'll be able to help other people by sharing my experience, and, finally, I'll be a step closer to one of my life goals: being accepted for a postgraduate program abroad. =)

My first entry

So I'm here, not knowing what to expect, just excited by this idea of having the oportunity to meet new people along with other cultures, ideas and ways of viewing and living life.

My experience with languages has been there in my life since I can remember. I have experienced other languages since as long as I can remember. [This is only a suggestionk, however to be quite honest I am not entirely sure what you are trying to say.] When I was in school I was taught e English [Unlike in Spanish, all the languages, as well as the nationalities are capitalized like the name of a country] at a very young age. I remember singing songs and repeating words. But, what I took from those experiences was only knowing how to say "window" and sing the alphabet song.

The moment when I really started to learn was when I made myself accountable to my own learning. As an admirable polyglot says "Languages cannot be taught, they can only be learned". So with this mindset, I, little by little, fell in love with languages in general.

But I realized that something was missing in my learning process and that was a partner with whom I can use what I learned, learn a lot more and especially share a little of our perspectives and with this hopefully become friends.

That's why I signed up to this webpage, to find people just like me who want to learn more every day by sharing knowledge and who are willing to help each other.
