First notebook entry: Introducing myself

My first entry: warming up on this italki thing

Well, after a few days on this website, I can finally write my first entry. Why am I here? Basically, because I want to improve my English spoken skills. I mean, really improve.

The most difficult thing is to achieve that desired advanced level, which allows you to be among native English speakers without seeming to be in a tennis match (quiet and just turning your head from right to left, trying to follow them).

So many things... Let's relax and take it easy :)
