I strongly suggest making a Netflix account. I do not believe Netflix exists in Bosnia but there is a plug-in called "Hola" that you can download to your Google Chrome web browser which simply tricks the website into thinking you are in a foreign country. It's a very effective way for learning idiomatic expressions while being entertained. Simply select either the U.S, Canada, or any of the Scandanavian countries. Subtitles are always offered in English, a nice feature if you are not yet comfortable discerning between country or regional accents.

Please, do not pay attention to the meaning of the text. It represents some scraps from my mind that should not be part of discussion. Grammar and vocabulary corrections and comments are welcome.
It has occured me today. Plain and simple as it always is. In one's life, it is almost impossible to remember, to hold the memories of the two most important life events, the begining and the end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I still haven't met a single person that can talk about his/her own birth. Nor the death. We can reminisce about graduating, learning about love, driving, experiencing the first kiss, fun times, happy times, sad times, and boring times. But we can't hold recall the memories of our own birth nor or the death.
Why are we denied those two simple, most important events in our life time beeing?
Is it too painful to recall the memories, or is it just a lack of ability to process that amount of happiness (birth) and sadness (death) for the ordinary human brain.Your writing is actually poetic with minor mistakes made even by English speakers. The first three corrections I made were for what we call parellelism, which means you have to maintain the same form of the verbs in that series (e.g. learning, driving, and experiencing). I added the word experience because you lacked a verb. You cannot technically write, "We can reminisce about (Verb 1), (Verb 2), and (Noun). I am just beginning my Bosnian studies, so I cannot say with certainty but the expression "to hold memories" is more than likely a fault from language transfer. In English, we have other verbs, for example, "remember", "recall", and "reminisce" to express that concept. Nonetheless, your thoughts are completely intelligible, and for that reason, I say again your mistakes are extremely minor. Do not forget that the word "to" is a preposition and the word "too" is an adverb to express intensity (also another mistake made by English speaker frequently).
Anyway, this is excellent! I urge you to not be discouraged and to continue your good work. Happy New Year!

Hello, how are you? I hope you are fine.
I have to tell you that I don't have electricity, so it's not possible to give you any kind of instant classes at the moment.
However, don't worry. Once I get electricity again, I'll let you know.
Have a nice day / evening and happy learning.
See you0 votedJanuary 5, 20160
