First notebook entry: Introducing myself I grew up in Egypt .My native language is Arabic. I'm learning English as a second language. I think I'm good at reading . I can read on most subjects on the internet with 90 % accuracy or so .I think I 'm also good at writing. I can write pretty well. I also listen to many courses on various subjects , all presented by native speakers. I get the full meaning of the lectures . I get 95 % of the actual words said in lectures. But when watching movies. I can get only 50 % of the words said , as they speak the every day spoken language with their normal speed and normal accent , unlike the English spoken on courses would be slow and with an easy accent. I really want to improve this . My major weakness is speaking , as I don't practice it much . I hope this wonderful website would help me improve my English speaking.
