American Football American Football does not seem to be very popular outside of the United States, at least not beyound Canada and England. I understand Football as Americans play it, is played in Canada and England. I am curious, with advanced television these days, if you live outside of the US, Canada, and England, is football available to view in your country, and if so, is it popular?

My native language English is my native language. As an American, and a native english speaker, I want to write about something which comes to mind when I think of the word native. For much of my life, when I have heard the word native, it has been used in the context of speaking of native American indians. That is not a bad thing, and neither is this a history lesson on what I know or have been taught about native American indians. I find it interesting that, depending on the context or the surrounding of a conversation or something written, the same word can involve different concepts. As a native speaking American, I love the English language. I believe it is a beautiful language, and it is capable of expressing many wonderful ideas. It can be used to express simple ideas, and also very complex ideas.

a speech practice session Last Thursday I listened to a Chinese girl practice for a speech she was to give in her school. She is fairly good in speaking English, but she needed some help with her pronounciation. I felt that she was helped with her pronounciation. If you have a speech to give in English, and you need a native speaker to listen to you for help with pronounciation and accuracy of your sentences, please contact me. The text of the young lady's speech was also online, which was helpful in knowing exactly what she was trying to say.
