What is hard for you?
For our second post, I want to talk about what is difficult for you when you speak English, and also what helps you learn English.
This will help us decide what to study in our class.
So, tell us: what is the hardest thing for you? Pronounciation? Understanding? Speaking quickly?
And what are the best things that help you learn Enlgish?
Here's one for me: I put my clock-radio on in the language I want to learn. When it's time to wake up, my alarm is the radio. But I don't get up right away: I lie in bed for a while and press "snooze," over and over again. So for about an hour, I'm half-asleep, but I'm learning a new language subconsciously. I swear, it works!
What works for you? Share...

Welcome to Vancouver
Welcome to our blog.
For our first post, I want us to think of 3 THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT, here in Vancouver.
What did you notice on your first day here? What was interesting? Bizarre? Exciting?
When I moved to Québec, 3 things that I noticed were :
1. The buildings are all made of brick. For me, this is very beautiful.
2. People wear scarves all the time! (A scarf is the thing you wrap around your neck to keep warm.)
3. In the grocery stores, the vegetables are wrapped in plastic. This made me mad!
NOW, YOU ARE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING I JUST DID, BUT TALKING ABOUT VANCOUVER.
When I first came to Vancouver, 3 things I noticed were :
