All Things English

Yesterday a question suddenly occurred to me — why don't I have a blog in English? That would be an interesting experiment, thought I, to write, at least occasionally, in English. This probably would be good for my own practice of the language, as well as it may allow me to reach out to broader audience. Maybe some of my English speaking friends will start reading my blog.

So here it is, the very first entry in this English blog. For now it is just an experiment. We'll see how it goes. If it proves to be a good idea, it'll stick around.

One note to anyone who is reading this. I've been learning English all my conscious life. Yet, after all these years of study and practice, I still am not perfect speaker. And may make mistakes. Therefore I appreciate very much anyone pointing to my mistakes so I can improve. Thank you!

By the way, comments in English are encouraged. Comments in other languages are welcome too, but this is an English-speaking blog after all.

This is a test comment in this freshly baked English blog.

How do you plan to become a perfect speaker using written English? In addition I suggest you to post video with your speech for us ;)

Well. To say "I want to become an English writer" would sound a bit too ambitious. English writer was Oscar Wilde or, say, Arthur Conan Doyle. So I used the word "speaker". In fact, how do you call a person who uses English in their life? This includes speaking, reading, listening and writing. I'd say it's an English speaking person, or English speaker. "English user" sounds somewhat ackward.

I thought of video blogging before. May try it some time. But most likely I won't try doing it in English. Don't want to look stupid with my awful Russian accent.

So, somewhat along these lines, Comrade Collegue. :))

Yeah, televised speech is a grand idea. Now we just need to find a speechwriter for Vitaly. (So that everything is as adults would have it ;) )

Hm, speechwriter... I like the idea. Maybe I can, in some time, even run for a small political role.
