Hello Claire Vera Chaya Pln Oshiro and all!! Claire,I can't agree with you more!LOL There are lots of forms of studying.Maybe traveling is good method of learning English.As far as I can see it,communication is ultimately important role in learning everything,of course,there are so many ways to communicating with each other. Vera,I don't agree with you,we have so many things to do in terms of our life and work,maybe since you don't pay much attention to your surroundings. Pln,where are you ?:)
Have a nice day to all!!
