"Pink tulips with dynamism"

There is nothing original in these tulips, however I introduced some changes , creating a mixture of colours on their petals. It makes them more dynamic. There is one funny thing about them. As usual, they are exhibited on flickr and one girl asked me what the medium was. I was not aware what she meant 'cause I thought that a medium concerns a size. In the end, I stayed silent and provided no information. This is how I impove my language skills - by trial and error.

Now about language and learning it. I must say that I constantly improve my language skills and I do it best in the situational context i.e: I memorize words better when I find myself in a given situation with a foreigner or I'm forced to use a language actively. A year ago, I forced myself to memorize 4 English words each day. I devoted much time to it, improving English a lot. However, my knowledge simply vanished when I didn't revise the vocabulary constantly each day. What is the conclusion? Well, it's good to use a language actively especially in speaking. I'm not a good foreign language speaker, but I remember my mistakes and learn from them. I remember while being in Italy, I was standing downstairs and wanted to ask an old lady to open the door for me. Instead of saying: "Signora Barbara", I said: "Signorina Barbara" and heared a big laughter. In that way I learned the difference. Now I'm learning Italian. I don't devote as much time to it as to English. However, to me it's a pleasure not a toil. I relish every word.

Pawlikowska speaks several languages, among others: Portugese, Spanish and a special type of Spanish spoken in the South America. Allegedly, it's the most beautiful and musical language. I've never known that.

Language is a broad topic. Mind you that thre are 2 types of language: formal and informal. The point is that an official language (formal) differs a lot from an informal one. Normally, in books a formal language is preferred with grammatical rules obeyed. In informal English some grammatical rules are broken, some words are omitted to convey a message faster. I know that because (now be prepared for a surprise) I'm an English teacher. Wow, finally I convinced it.

Now a new piece of wisdom by P. Coelho: "In life we commit many mistakes. It's important not to make the one ,which could destroy us."

Have a nice day, Ela.
