Hello everybody!! Thanks for your best wishes Ed! I had a small party at home and then the next day I went to a Tex-Mex restaurant with some friends (that was supposed to be a surprise by my fianceé, it ended up not being a surprise LOL).
I agree with you Pablo, education has become a great business and many people are earning money with that. Certifications is another way for companies to get our money too, but it is actually required for some universities and employers, so we can't put it aside. Don't you agree? For me an English certification would be a personal achievement and I'm very proud of being able to talk to many of you, from distant countries and different cultures, through English. That's the motivation I find interesting about that language. I hope your daughter see you as a motivator and master English as well. Ed, you had a great innitiative whe you decided to create that group as well as the ESL teachers we have here, like Pln, a great motivator of the group!
