I like English and I try to read in English every day. The hardest thing for me is spelling. Unlike Damian, in English you often say one thing, but write something quite different. I don't have any problems with memorizing words or listening to records, though when naive speakers apeak I have problems in understanding them. As I said, I spend a lot of time reading. I try very hard with grammar, but I still make mistakes. I am getting good at translating from English into Ukrainian, but not vice versa [навпаки]. I’m OK with general understanding, though I need more practice. I like talking, though I am shy because I'm afraid of making mistakes. I like listening to songs in English best, because I love music.
