- El Examen Yo tengo una prueba de español el proximo mes. El examen es para la certificación DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) - nivel A1. He estado preparando y estudiando todos los días para este examen. Creo que mi escritura ha mejorado, pero todavía tengo que practicar mis habilidades de escucha más. He estado escuchando música española, viendo las noticias... pero creo que no son suficientes. La mejor manera es hablar con alguien en persona, pero es muy difícil de encontrar una persona que habla español aquí en Singapur. Por eso yo intento utilizar todo tipo de materiales para ayudarme practicar y mejorar mi español.October 18, 201570
Practice makes difficulties disappear!
It's been more than two years now since I got my driver's licence, but ironically I never dared to drive on the roads outside the driving school. I was simply too lucky to get the licence so quickly.
Recently, I really want to hit the road, but I feared that I would completely forget what I had learnt in the first place. So I registered for a coaching session with a company, to brush up on and improve my skills. The first several hours were miserable; I was easily scared by other cars, bikes, and unpredictable pedestrians. Once, I even had a fender bender with a bus!! A loadful of passengers had to get off the bus because of it. I almost wished the earth could open up a crack for me to hide in from the embarrassment.
However, with more practice, I gradually began to feel some ease, and sometimes even thought it was kind of fun to drive. This has given me some courage, not only in driving, but also in other things -- that is, with more practice, many difficulties will REALLY just disappear.0 votedOctober 18, 20152First lesson
Today, I had the first lesson through Skype taught by Robert , a professional Australian teacher.
I was so nervous that I can't give the right expressions. And my listening ability is not good, Robert had to write something to me. It was very kind of him. Although I was getting a little bit depressed, I should overcome the bad emotion.0 votedOctober 18, 20151Ang pag-aaral ng ng Tagalog ay napakahirap
Araw-araw nagbabasa ako ng maraming babasahin na Tagalog. Nagagalit ang asawa ko kasi hindi niya gusto ito. Hindi ako nakikinig sa kanya. At ngayon pagkatapos ko'ng bumili ng isa pang bir ay nagagalit pa rin siya. Buti na lang hindi nya naiintindihan ang Tagalog. :) Nagbibiro lang ako :)

Yo necesito tiempo para descansar, relajar, salir de la casa con mi familia... pero el fin de semana el tiempo parece pasar demasiado rápido. En contraste, la semana laborable siempre parece pasar muy lentamente. Ahh... deseo los fines de semana eran más largos.October 18, 201560
- "It takes a village to raise a child." - This is from an old African proverb which basically means that the best environment within which a child may be raised is in a community, where the child can get all the love, support and guidance that he or she needs. It's based on the belief that a man and a woman cannot raise their child completely on their own -- they need the support of others to provide their child with the best kind of upbringing, and they can only do this through their village community. Raising a child entails a broader commitment not just from the parents themselves, but from the people around them. "It takes a child to raise a village." - I think this refers to the contribution of the youth to the betterment of the community. It's another way of saying that the youth, and not only the adults, have a role to play in improving their community. Contrary to what other people may think, the youth have a lot of contribute (like fresh ideas) to their community. Hope that helped ^^0 votedJune 23, 20080
