    First Entry, Introducing Myself Hello My name is David and I'm from sunny Brisbane in Australia, Australian's are fairly well known for being laid back, free spirited, humourous and, drunk. Another thing Australian's are known for in the English world is being devoid of proper English speaking skills ("How ar' ya mate?") and have butchered and abbreviated most English word's or just completely made up word's that, put Australianly are fucktarded and should not exist. Super fancy formal English in Australia is a rarity, but we try, or just don't give a shit and pretend to try. Maybe that's why I want to learn another language to improve my English, and meet interesting like minded people from the other side of the globe =D If you correct this because I said Australianly or fucktarded don't ruin my joke =(

    My weekend

    Last weekend I've been in Vienna with all of my female classmates. We're only six girls in our class, so it wasn't a very big group travelling to Austria's capital. We were very stressed finding an appropriate youth hostel because we hadn't booked one almost one week before our departure. Luckily we found one in the heart of Vienna, the only bad thing was, that we had to split up, as there wasn't even one six-bed-dormitory left. But we didn't mind, as we wouldn't spend lots of time in the hostel. Taking the night train to Vienna we were attuned to go to sleep as soon as we had reached our compartment, but a few minutes after the train had left the station it stopped and everyone had to leave the train because of problems with the electricity in the whole railway carriage. Although the next train left with a 1 hour delay, we arrived in Vienna exactly in time! After an early breakfast and half an hour waiting in front of the youth hostel we eventually started our shopping-trip which endured more than 5 hours and really affected our moneybags :D

    As there are many many many other things that I have to tell you about in detail I stop this entry here and continue in another one writing about my experiences in Vienna. :)

    Collect new experience together

    "The borders of your language are the borders of your life" - a saying from Johann Wittgenstein. I also find my personal view in his words.

    There are so many possibilies in this world to discover and to learn a foreign language is a wonderful and necessary tool for this project.

    I also study Spanish, French and Russian.
    My knowledge of these languages is too less to talk or write, but it becomes
    better and better.

    It would be a great pleasure to learn more about different countries and
    different ways of life as well.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    My name is Tsedey Kassaye. I am an Ethiopian girl who needs to study English and to be fluent in English and write perfect letters, reports and so on in the English languge. Please please help me to do so.

     

    (The eho was an obvous typo, and I think there's no need to say English language just English, English people will know what you're talking about and what you mean.  I didn't know what you meant by minutes? But it was all ok and understandable but more work to be fluent =)  .)

    I'm from Germany and am willing to help, if you have any questions about the German language.

    I just finished my A1-courses in Spanish and Swedish and I also try constantly to improve my English. So I'd appreciate any help I can get.

    Are these sentences right?

    Immigrants brought the name Santa Claus to America. Santa Claus is from the dutch name Sinter Klaas. Originally Santa Claus from Scandinavia, but he only became known in the USA.

    In shops some people dress up as Santa Claus. Children can tell him their wishes and the parents stand next to him. So the parents can hear all  the things and maybe the wishes come true, if they buy that.

    At Christmas time it is a tradition that all family members are together, no matter where they're over the year. So, they celebrate together with grandpas, grandmas aunts, uncles and cousins.

    Therefore almost all shops are closed on Christmas Day. Sometimes the shops close eariler on Christmas Eve than usual.
