    "Look sharp" can also be used to be attentive or present oneself well. For example, "Look sharp! The honored guest is coming." In that case, we wouldn't be hurrying, but instead standing up straight, remembering our manners, smiling, etc.

    They won't eat you.

     

    Breathe.

     

    Smile, even if you don't mean it.

     

    Take a second before you do anything.  It slows everything down.  "Take a second" means literally do nothing for a moment.

     

    Stress and nervousness are about unknowns.  Pick a couple things you want to achieve when meeting someone instead of fearing the infinite number of things that could happen.  This will help you focus the conversation.

     

    Just in case you skipped it the first time, they won't eat you.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Learn English as I develop myself and completed my studies and enjoy..

     

    develop is present tense

    completed is past tense

     

    It is proper to use the same verb tense throughout a sentence.

    Consider looking at the IPA ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet</a> ).  If you spend a couple of hours with it, you can see how your mouth has been trained to make sounds in Russian that are not the same as the sounds in English.  Of course, this is only the technical part.  There's the fun part, the practice part, and the listening (to others and yourself) part.

    I use the Zhongwhen chinese pop-up dictionary add-on for Chrome. Both come up with San Francisco as possible meanings. The first (San Fan shi) could also be 3 border city, which if you think of SF it is border by water on 3 sides. The second (jiu jin shan) could be old gold hill as in the gold rush. I'm very curious which is more common. That's so cool that the two names for SF are like that.
