I was born in Indonesia, and started my English lesson in Secondary School, but it was just a simple English. I had no money to take an English course, it was very expensive in Indonesia, but I remember these words " Where there is a will, there is a way"
I was about 13 years, when I met Western people, I asked the same questions " How are you ? " and "Where you come from? " no more, no less. But when I saw an English magazine or newspaper on the street, I picked it up and brought it home. Then I checked word by word try to understand. Watched English movie without look at the translate text. Listened to the BBC
I lived in America with my son for couple years, have a lot of American friends, then I worked in United Arab Emirates for 3 years as Admin Officer in Airlines company. What amazing life, from nothing to something.
So when I moved to Australia, the first time in my life I study English and until now I always bring my electronic dictionary. I read English books, magazines and newspapers. If I don't understand the word, I will check and write it down.
NO ONE IS TOO OLD TO LEARN, DON'T GIVE UP TO LEARN ENGLISH. WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY.
Thank you a million,
Fey
