My first notebook entry for a long time! This will be my first notebook entry for a long time! I haven't written anything in English since 2014. Wow, that's a long time! So, probably, there will be a lot of mistakes. Or, maybe, not. Anyway, it will be short and clumsy. Learning English! Each time you think about this process you can imagine different activities related to building your new skills of speaking or writing things in a foreign language. Recalling old times, I did a lot of writing. Moreover, I did it quickly and on paper. But when you do not have a goal to do so, you can just don't do it for fun. That's why I'd like to start writing again. What are my other challenges? I think I should do more speaking (I'm already doing so). Nonetheless, I feel the rust in my mouth. I feel like I'm not able to say something very smoothly. I feel like I have an accent that I haven't had before. Thus, I need to do something more. The best thing that will help me to practice in pronouncing words will be to read aloud. I know this technique for a long time, yet every time I had an excuse not to do so. In other words, the time has come, I must do it. I think it really doesn't matter what you are reading. The main goal is to read aloud. So.. wish me luck!
