Cover letter
In this letter I'd like to expose my motivation to participate in the project EVS Outdoors. My name is
Vladimir, I come from Bulgaria and I'm currently studying Computer Science, Innoviation Innovation and Entrepeneurship in Denmark. I am considering volunteering in the spring and summer of 2015, when I'll take a break between two stages of my education. I found out about your project through Facebook and it caught my interest.Volunteering for the project "EVS Outdoors" would be beneficial for my future career in general and for a project about the Bulgarian mountains in particular. <em>In 2011 I started the project "New shine for Lyulin mountains", which has the goal to of improve improving the mountain and rural tourism in the mountains Lyulin, which are situated close to Sofia.*</em> In the future the nature of the region would be improved and Lyulin mountains would become a better place for mountain and rural tourism and outdoor activities. Up until now So far I have visited places in the mountains I've never been to before and I have read more about the hisotry of the villages around them. I organized some trips for 5-10 people and created a Facebook page of the project. I think that participating in EVS Outdoors would be beneficial for future actions on my own project.
During my study period in Denmark I gained knowledge about the modern educational mehtods methods and I was trained to become an independent student. I'm interested in working in the field of education<em> in the future. In the future**</em> I'd like to start my own company which would be related to my project and to education in general. I believe that participating in your project will help me formulate clear goals.
I'm mostly interested in being a volunteer in a country, whose language I speak well in order to be able to communicate with the locals effectively from the first day of my stay. I believe that this will give me better insight into the daily life in the country, while doing something useful for the society and for my future.. I've been in touch with a lot of Romainans Romanians in the last 2-3 years and I learned a lot about their language and culture.
Thanks for reading my application. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.--------
I just edited for grammar and spelling. The two style comments I have are marked in italics with asterisks. My spelling and grammar edits are probably not complete.
<em>*In 2011 I started the project "New shine for Lyulin mountains", which has the goal to of improve improving the mountain and rural tourism in the mountains Lyulin, which are situated close to Sofia.</em><em></em>This is a very long sentence. I would suggest breaking it up into two sentences, perhaps like this:
In 2011 I started the project, "New shine for Lyulin mountains." This has the goal of improving the mountain and rural tourism in the mountains Lyulin, situated close to Sofia.
**<em>in the future. In the future</em>Delete at least one of these. The sentences are both still grammatical without them.

Yesterday, I slept a lot,but my condition was not very good.
I thought think I didn't sleep deeply. I was tired all day.
I couldn't do anything because I woke up late, so I just rested.
Of course I went to English classes. To be honest, I hadn't wanted to go out but, I controlled myself!
Yesterday was not successful to study.I was not successful at studying yesterday.
I did only my homework at home,whereas but I learned a lot in my class.
I learned 'the article' in the class.
It queit quite helped me. It is tricky grammear to a Korean because we don't use them well in usual general. *
I have enjoyed studying English these_days. I expect that my English skills grow up are improving.*There are several other ways I could correct that sentence. Here is another option:
It is tricky grammar for Koreans because we don't usually use them well.

In 2012 I went to Europe, there where I visited some cities in Italy, Milan and Rome, Paris in France and London in England. I loved the experience and I dream every day in of traveling abroad again. Probabily, next year, in July I may go to Orlando - USA, with my daughter. I´m trying to save some money to do this that. I think everything is gonna be all right, at least, I hope so.
Notes: The first sentence could instead be modified like this:
In 2012 I went to Europe. There I visited some cities in Italy, Milan and Rome, Paris in France and London in England. I loved the experience and I dream every day in of traveling abroad again.
<em>"I´m trying to save some money to do this."</em>
Using "this" is not technically wrong, but it is common for non-native speakers, and uncommon for native speakers. "That" makes you sound more like a US American.
I would actually use this sentence: <em>"I'm trying to save some money for that."</em>

I am have been studying English for some years. But I never did it seriously. I can read well. If someone speaks very slowly, I can understand. But in common situations, I can't to do very much. For instance, I write in English. But it's hard to for me. To speak? The words disappear.
So, some days ago, I decided to study in a serious way. I downloaded an aplication, Anki. Anki is very useful. It is about flashcards. I bought an ebook, Fluent Forever. I am using its method to improve my vocabulary. It was few days ago, but I feel my vocabulary is better now. Quickly.
And today I thought it is would be** a good ideia to write some text every day. I'm not sure I will can do it every day. But I will try.
**you could also use was. "is" sounds wrong there.0 votedSeptember 23, 20141- Ich möchte Deutsch lernen In der Uni ich habe Deutsch für zwei Jahre. Danach habe ich in Deutschland studiert, in Göttingen. Ich habe fast keine Deutsch gesprochen, nach ich wieder von Deutschland gekommen bin. Ich plane, nach Deutschland im Januar gehen und ich hoffe, dass ich davor mein Deutsch verbessern. Ich suche ein Sprachpartner oder eine Sprachpartnerin, so ich mit Deutscher auf Deutsch sprechen, wenn ich dort wohne. Vielen Dank für das Lesen und ich begrüße alle Korreturen.September 23, 201430
