Ta-da! There it is, my English Blog! I have bin thinking about blogging in English for quite some time now. Writing is just such a powerful tool to improve language skills. I had to learn this the hard way. When we as a family moved to Virginia, USA for a year, I hardly spoke any English. It was difficult not to be able to communicate, but as a mom of two little ones, I did not see how this could change anytime soon. It was a big surprise, when got the opportunity to go to a College for an English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) course and my husband was looking after the kids and the home.
One of the first home works I had to do was writing essays. I did not know that one can write an essay in a language one does not even speak, but yes it is doable and very effective! My English went from nothing to answering phones in a short time! Most of it was Gods grace, who gave me at least twenty free words for every hard learned one.
Since then my English has come a long way, but there is still so much more to learn! And I want to learn more! Will you help me? I would be so honored if you read my blog, laugh at my stooped spellings, pray for improvements and after all of this, tell me where I am wrong. But please be gentle.
Oh my goodness, Anna, you do so well for starting this blog in a language you are learning. I only found your writings today — a year after you started, but I am enjoying your thoughts … and I love the Lord, too. Blessings on all your work and your words. I’m going to read back through your blog now and get to know you better.
Aww, thank you Leslie! It IS hard work for me, but since it is about something that I love to do, it is still fun.
I looked it your blog too, beautiful! I have been to Norway. Gods blessings right beck to you too!
