a good film and a good book... what's more?
.. out of curiosity

So this is supposed to be my very first "blog article". To be honest I am not still very much aware of what this is all about, but I think I'll find out soon.

The first thing is that I'm not English or Australian of American or from any other English-speaking country. It makes it a little more difficult as English is not my native language, but I do like it a lot, so why not write my "articles"in it ? (the word blog still sounds weird to me, don't really know where it came from..). Writing in a foreign languge is a bit strange - even if you think you are very fluent in it, you have a wholy different attitude to words you have not adopted from your mum as a child. Even if you learn all the grammatics and vocabulary, you still have to learn the "feeling" of every single word. And it is quite a difficult process and you do not share the environment with those who speak the language nativly, so you may create absolutly different meanings and feelings of words. But that won't put me out.
I love foreign languges... maybe so much because those "foreigners" sometimes don't seem so foreign to me as my own neighbours speaking the same languge as myself.

Well, I'll stop this vain writing and try to have a look around to know whether I'll be welcome here or not...
