I'm Paul Schoneveld and I'm from the United States. The US is a big country with a lot of different kinds of accents, but my own accent is pretty clear West Coast English. That is, the kind of accent you might hear spoken in Hollywood. I currently live in the Netherlands and have now set my eyes on Germany as my next place of residence. So, now I'm looking to pickup some German before I make the move.

    Finally, one year since I determined to find a job in another country and I'm here in USA. I thought that it will be easier, but it wasn't.

    First, to find an apartment is difficult. This is my third week and I don't have a place yet, but I'm sure that next week I will sign in a community.

    The other problem is that when you come here, your English is "business language," so of course phrasal verbs, idioms, slang... it's a big problem.  Sometimes I can't understand what people are saying.  

    Also, you definitely need to learn how to spend your money.  How much do you have to spend on meals, clothing, etc., because sometimes you can buy the same product for less by just changing stores.

    Something else is the culture. Here everything is different.  I'm in Raleigh NC and people are very nice, everybody want's to help.

    Well, today was a bad day. I hope tomorrow will be a better day. I have a headache. I was trying to practice my English at sharedtalk.com, but it seems that the website is down. I need to practice my conversational English!!!

     

    (I just thought it would be better to break your thoughts down into paragraphs.  I also corrected some of your punctuation and in a few places the tense of your verbs [i.e. "people are" instead of "people is"].  Otherwise this was pretty good.  Try not to start too many of your sentences with a conjunction though.  This is the first time I've corrected someone's Notebook so I have no idea if I'm doing it right.  My apologies if I am not.)
