I'm coming back! 

I've been practicing English for a while. Actually, I've been working as a bilingual customer representative for three years! 

Even so, I feel I'm lacking some better performance, like a native speaker who is fluent and spontaneous when he/she speaks.

Not long ago, I took some time for vacation and realized some tips and tricks one can implement to speak English better. 

I'll share with you some of them shortly, but for now, I just want to say that this writing exercise is exactly what I want to do, as it helps me a lot to structure my mind linguistically. In other words: writing will help me to think faster when speaking, as the constant practice of writing will develop structure inside of me, therefore being more spontaneous and accurate. 

So here we go! We will have (hopefully) daily encounters! 

The Simple Life

 27-02-2022

My dear readers,

Once again, I fall into the hands of writing. This time, as I have always wanted it is just as an exercise of English writing skills. As you may know, there are four different skills in regards English language: 

• Reading
• Writing
• Listening to
• Speaking

Fortunately, I read every day in English. I also make a living as a bilingual customer representative for an offshore BPO. As for listening to, news, films, music, and many more are part of my daily life. However, I left writing for granted, and that was a mistake as long as writing helps to build English thought. Writing and Speaking are Output skills, but Reading and Listening are the opposite. 

In consequence, from now on I am determined to write every single night (make an exception on Shabbat) in order to exercise English thinking, English expression. Every time I come to write, all skills and knowledge will be at one single moment of truth. When having a difficult time expressing myself in English, pushing me over to find the correct answer will be a reinforcement and, you know, as long as it will repeat a lot (XD), proper English grammar and expressions will come at hand smoothly as time goes by. 

Of course, to do so I will write about my daily life, thought, opinions, and everything that comes to my mind that helps me out in regards to the English writing exercise. 

I titled today´s post "The Simple Life", and I picture it will be the other way around! (XD)

This is just a manifest. And I hope once we reach some point in the future, indeed my life will be as simple and meaningful as possible. 

For now, before we are good to go, simple is to say: I've got a job. That´s a lot considering the times we live in. I have plenty to feed my family. So, let´s take days as slow and smooth as possible. That's it. Most of the time, human beings die without fulfilling even 10 percent of their dreams... And I've dreamt a lot. 

Dreaming makes you feel (I don´t know why), dreams are true in some sense. Or that they can become true at some point. Ego, self-conscience. You name it. We will discover it in the future. The point is: enjoy the day, let everything flow away, give the most of you on everything. Make it as simple as possible.

Today I begin to write as an exercise of liberation. The liberation of what? We will see. I warn you that this will be registered both in English and Spanish, whatever my brain has at hand. Other circumstances like where I am and when may be delivered randomly. That's not really important: the important thing is the message.

What did it trigger for me to write down this today? The consciousness of mastering words/speech. That's the whole thing. One has to master that in order to prevail and survive. Yeah, prevail against others but more importantly, prevail against his/her own inner abyss. 

That is setting a battleground called the soul. An enemy called... Wow -I don't know. I do not know who exactly is the enemy. Could be emotions, negative thoughts, difficult circumstances. I don't know. We will find out. 

What one has to have as weapons are good thoughts, good words like "I've gotta believe: tomorrow will bring a better day. I've gotta believe."
