My Typical Day
Hi!
Today I am going to talk to you about my typical day.
Thanks to my schedule, I can wake up at 8:30 AM/in the morning (either but not both). Then, I have a good breakfast: milk with biscuits, but we don't care, lol ^^ -
Then I go to my university, where I study English. I learn grammar, phonetics, literature, history... it's kinda hard, but I do my best. The hardest for me is the pronunciation. A lot of English sounds don't even exist in French. I have to "unlearn", to forget, my mother tongue to focus on English. Learning vocabulary is also very hard. I think that as students, we can't practise enough, so we forget it quickly.
Then, I eat, often in the self-service restaurant of the University. The food isn't very good, but it's ok. Abroad, France is said to be THE country of gastronomy_: we have indeed some good chefs, but if you go by what I eat, you will forget this cliché_: I just heat some food in the microwave.
In the afternoon, I still have lessons, and I get back at about 6 pm. I do my homeworks, chat with my friends on Facebook and go to asleep at/by midnight.
What about your own day? According to you, what is the most difficult about learning French/a foreign language?
If you are a native English speaker, and want to Skype, don't hesitate to PM me, I won't bite!
Bon travail ! J'ai beaucoup de problèmes avec la pronunciation… et je suis très limité avec ma vocabulaire et mes conjugaisions. Alors, j'ai besoin de pratique.

A Typical Day of Mine ( Is it is possible to say that O_o ? ) Yes. Or you could say: A Typical Day for Me.
Hi!
Today I am going to talk to you about my typical day.
Thanks to my schedule, I can wake up at 8:30 am in the morning. [1] Then, I have a good breakfast -milk with biscuits, but you don't care, lol ^^ -
Then I go to my University, where I study English. I learn grammar, phonetics, literature, and history... that's kinda ( kind of? ) [2] hard, but I do my best. The hardest thing for me is the pronunciation. A lot of English sounds don't even exist in French. I have to "unlearn" -- to forget -- my mother tongue in order to focus on English. Learning vocabulary is also very hard. I think that as students, we can't practise enough, so we forget it quickly.
Then, I eat, often in the self-service restaurant of the University. The food isn't very good, but it's ok. Abroad, France is said to be THE country of gastronomy : we have indeed some good chefs, but if you get interested in my own food, you will forget this cliché : All I do is heat some food in the microwave.
In the afternoon, I still have lessons, and I am back home at about 6 pm. I do my homework, chat with my friends on Facebook, and fall asleep at midnight.

[1] It would be better to leave out "in the morning." You already said "8:30 am." Therefore, everyone already knows it is in the morning.
[2] "Kind of" is standard, and "kinda" is relaxed, very informal speech.
