This is my first entry... ...in my notebook and, if I am honest, I never thought it would be written in English. Why? Well, at the moment I am focussed in learning German and sometimes I forget that I still have so much work to do with my English. I think I tend to believe that it is all fine simply because I can communicate, but the truth is that learning a language is or should be so much more than that. For example, I have serious doubts about advanced grammar and I don´t know many idioms or ordinary collocations. I also feel insecure about my punctuation as I never learnt the rules to place commas in English. Sometimes word partition at the end of the line gets tricky too and I have to look up in the dictionary. I could learn many more phrasal verbs and try to speak more accurately. I should definitely prevent German from "polluting" my English: proper sentence word order is especially endangered! Wow, now that I went through the main issues I feel a bit guilty about not dedicating some more time to my English. This is my profession after all!
