I am not happy with your English. I have been working with you for a while and how far have we pushed your English? Not enough to make me glad and I wonder why you are paying me for lessons? You know that in the end you are going to have to put your hand upon the wheel and steer us all the way to heaven. You know it is you who will do it. The words are the keys that open the doors and windows to a new level; knowledge is power and the words are the keys; learn as many as possible and learn them well by practicing using them in conversing and telling me stories. You know you must practice what you study and that language is part of the culture. You live in the middle of the forest... can you see the trees? Continue your adventure in good health!

Learn more words. Hate them, love them, but use them to your profit. They are the keys that open doors. Those rich people may have more and do more but do they know more? Information is the most precious commodity there is and you are poised to rule the world. You don't need to worry about how, just focus on what you want to be, and do... and have. You are getting there (I say that every time) you really are, here and now... you're getting there; continue.

Is Miles my next student? Just kidding! It's always great to work with ya'll. What's "ya'll"? "You all" in cowboy English! You need more vocabulary and you need to practice using the words in conversations. Yeah, I know I have said that before, but it's true now and it's good feedback. Enter the culture; ask your neighbors for recipes for food, read the local newspaper(s) and talk to people. Continue your adventure!

Learn new words, build your vocabulary by reading. Watching movies and television is good but reading is best because you can stop and learn new words. Use the new words in conversations. Did I tell you that already? It's true now and I want you to benefit as much as possible. Language is a tool; how others use it is not for you to seek for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for you, Elaine. Use English to get what you want and to have some fun and who cares about the rest? Continue your adventure.
