So there you go. Hopefully this is getting easier with the time because if it isn't I'm gonna be in a really big trouble. So now I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope. Really hard.

Only some little thoughts...
The first week. I don't really know, it was fun but at the same time a little bit odd. Mostly I like speaking English but in the beginning it was maybe too uncomfortable. I don't like to speak in English if my English isn't "perfect". Or even good. This made it hard some times to speak to anybody in English. Still I think the course is very useful and like the idea behind it. And maybe time makes it a little less uncomfortable to speak when I'm not even close to being perfect. So the first week was a bit horrible but at the same time really fun when I finally had the confidence to speak to someone else than myself in English.

VastaaPoistaNow this blog works again so I can write about my learning here.. So, the week number two was.. I don't know, easier than the first one but still it was hard. I'm not so perfectionist anymore and everything doesn't have to be perfect and beautiful but still I'm not happy when my English isn't even pretty good. It's kind of a sad thing, really.
But I'm happy about that I pronounce many words better now, I guess. I have also learned a lot of new things which I can use when I'm speaking English. So I think that this was a good week after all.

VastaaPoistaThe third week was fun. It was really nice to have Antti with us and I just love his accent. It's great. He was a good teacher he had good ideas what we could do during our lessons. Best thing was probably the Sahara-thing because it taught me so much about discussing with other people. I had a chance to share my thoughts with my group and I finally realized that my English doesn't have to be perfect, not even close.
I'm still a bit unsure sometimes and it freaks me out when I have to speak and I don't really have almost anything to say. So this was a great week and I finally learned something very important about being perfect and it was awesome. Just love it!

VastaaPoistaThe fourth week was kind of normal, really. I don't have anything to say. This was the first whole week when I wasn't afraid to say something and it was really odd. Now I could first time listen everybody else, really listen and it taught me so much that I can't even describe it.
Debating was fun, a bit scary but fun. I didn't like the topics very much but it was still fun to discuss about them. I learn more about listening and giving to the others a chance to say what they thought about. That will be useful in the future, I hope. But like I said this week was really normal and I hadn't much time to freak out about speaking English because now I'm freaking out about the matriculation examination, particularly biology. So my courage to speak English really got the benefit of it. This was good week, maybe the best one so far.
