Since fluent English is required for my work experience in Sofia, I had another Skype conversation in English today, with another British tutor at LingQ, Helen. She is one of the most active British members at LingQ and this is why I signed up for a conversation with her.
We had a 20-minute talk and she proved to be a very caring woman: she asked me a lot of questions about myself and my coming work experience in Bulgaria (which I referred to as "traineeship", but she suggested I should use "work experience").
As Harry did yesterday, also Helen wrote in her conversation report that my English is "excellent, just slightly more careful and structured than a native would colloquially use. You could try to learn to speak English less properly :-)" I feel flattered, but I'm still not satisfied with my English oral skills, so I will sign up for more English conversations in the coming days.
I am going to finish sharing the third chapter of the novel "Cuore" by Italian novelist Edmondo de Amicis in the LingQ Italian library soon. You can find it here, but you should read the first and the second chapter first!
After some weeks, I have listened to a couple of Swedish lessons from the Who is She? collection. I still find the pronunciation very hard and I'm probably not listening and reading enough, but I hope I'll learn Swedish sooner or later. I am also going on with my Teach Yourself Bulgarian book, even if at a slow pace...
Bye for today,
Michele
