Today’s Valentine’s Day in America and in Canada, I guess.
It’s the day you tell the people you love that you love them.
Your spouse, your sibbling, your in-laws, your teachers, everybody.
I’d like to say “I love you” to my deceased parents who taught me how to treat people with respect and how to succeed in life. I wanna say “I love you” to my brothe ansd sisters who sponsored my English course. Thanks to that sponsorship, I am the owner of an English course here in Brazil.
And, I wanna say “I love you” to the creators of this wonderful page which gives the chance to meet people from all around the world.
Love,
Pedro

Hi;
I’d like to talk about my problem with English language
when I hear news or anyone speak English I can understand 80%.Addition when I read it
but my real problem I can’t speak English very well maybe I don’t have foreign friends to talk with him.
please give me your advice and help me.
Hi Huda
That is strange but many people complain of the same thing. They can understand but they cannot speak freely or naturally or fluently. I think that it it may be a self-confidence problem with many people.
When I speak another language which is not my own, I have less self-confidence because I have a less developed ability to express myself.
Talking is the best cure. But remember to listen too!
Have you tried talking to yourself?
Read about it at this link by the famous country and western singer Rube Hayworth.
