Hello Bill :)

Because I think English is a very important languange .
I wanna be able to communicate with people around the world, I have some friends from foreign countries.
I often feel upset when I couldn't say or write what I'm thinking about ,such as my opinions, my thoughts, etc.

I also planning to expand my business to overseas, so I decided I have to learn it.
I've been learning how to make a website lately and have a plan to make it with English. Instead I hire an English writer to writing, I would make it by my self.

Actually, I've been learning English since I was at school, but I,ve not use it in my daily live so I'm not getting used to it .

Now I'm start using it in my daily, such as watching some TV's shows without reading the text,as well Reading some English novels. I often get problems with grammars and difficult words or slangs.
When I'm reading a novel, I often look it up...haha, but it's ok, I don't mind as long as It can improving my English

So, I wanna learn about how to communicate and writing in English. I'm enjoying to learn it, so far. :)
Please give me some advise and correct what I've written above.

Thank you for your assistance
Nice to know you :)

Hi Bill,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I came to Australia about 16 years ago...but still struggle with ...English. I was a literature high school teacher in Vietnam. I always feel frustrated when I couldn't express my thoughts exactly what I want. Writing in English is a big difficult for me. I learn grammar from English Club and from English books but most of them I don't understand how to use (in which context).
I visited Denver few years ago. I love Denver. Last Xmas, my friend invited me come over again. Maybe one day...
My sister escaped Vietnam by boat. She was in refuge about a year. Australian Immigration 'accepted' her to be Australian Permanent. Then she sponsored me...and now i am here, in Australia, my second country!
I love writing. I used to write a lot ...in Vietnamese. I wish I am able to write ...a lot in English too. I hope my dream will come true.
Please correct my writing and give me your advice. Thank you so much Bill.

Hi Bill.I hope you are doing well.I had read your comment(it's about weather) and after that I had remembered one funny story:A couple of days ago I was working on my laptop and my TV has been on CNN channel.I had heard that they are talking about "Colorado Avalanche".My first reaction was:"Oh,my God there is an avalanche in Colorado,I should write to Bill and find out is everything ok with him..."But after a minute I realized that it's only a sport news and they are talking about "Colorado Avalanche" hockey team!:-)
