My first two weeks of blogging

How can I say...the blogsphere is a really interesting world and I find it very attractive. I only knew it because some friends of mine developped their own blogs but I have never tried before to develop one by myself.

First of all it is interesting because here you can share your idea with people you don't even know and you are free to express what you think without any fear of being judged.

From the language point of view is really stimulating because you can learn a lot of expressions that teachers usually don't teach you. Here at the university I have learnt a lot of grammar and all (or most of ) the classes concerned with grammar or accuracy in writing but a very very small part of our teachers worried about your abilities in communicating in English.

With this strange but in my opinion very effective method I'm sure I will be able to improve my skills in spoken language because through reading colloquial English in blogs I will learn a lot of expressions that I would never know if I didn't explore the world of internet. I'm aware that lots of these expressions don't come from English natives but maybe some of them... ^_^

And what about my writing skills? I'm sure I will improve this aspect as well thanks to the work we do in class with Sarah and my "collegues", as for example the correction of the mistakes we find in our blogs.

I think formal English is useful, of course, but colloquial English is necessary if you want to be learnt by other people, especially if they're not expert in English grammar and they talk a different language from yours. So don't panic if you don't know how to express yourself and just try...this is what this experience with blog taught me...at least till now ^_^

Cheers
