First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hi, my goal is to become proficient in Spanish and eventually in Chinese and Russian as well and hoping to find the necessary help here. I am willing to help others in their effort to learn and become proficient in either German or English, as I have been translating professionally and teaching in these languages for many years and am a native speaker of both. My interests are studying the Bible, fitness, nature, technology, international business, cultures, interesting people/ conversations and exchanging of ideas. I hope to hear from you. 2Tim2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, [fn] a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 2Tim2:15 Procura con diligencia presentarte a Dios aprobado, como obrero que no tiene de qué avergonzarse, que usa bien la palabra de verdad. I am not accepting friend/chat requests from persons that do not care to share information about themselves on their profile or from persons interested in wasting time.
