This was my chosen way so that every word I write does not have to pass by Google Translate before me clicking on the “enter” button.

I always had a quite good English, but after an important decision (I guess) I took, “quite good” wasn’t good enough. And I didn’t want to be embarrassed by who I care – just the cultural shock can do a lot of damage. All you have to do is imagine the following situation: “jeez, I didn’t know the toilet paper should go on vase, sorry”

For now I’m using this cute little book called “Paris For One”, by Jojo Moyes. But when I’m done with it, I’ll start copying books from my tablet since I couldn’t (yet) been able to buy myself a Kindle – thanks, Amazon, for books in English so cheap if not for free.

I confess I’m kind of nervous, not sure why.
