Language learning targets

Unfortunately last week I was absent and I couldn't reflect upon my "next language learning targets" in class, but I did it by myself...
I think I have no great difficulty in understanding extended speech even when it is not clearly structured, but surely I still have to get familiar with the complexity of some topics sush as for examples those dealing with computers or specialised languages. So I have to extend my personal vocabulary above all with terms belonging to professional sectors and colloquialisms.
I really have to improve my oral skills as well. I think I can deal with most situations, but my aim is to express myself fluently and spontaneously without searching for expressions. I gained most competence in languages inside formal education and the attention has always been put on text writing and homeworks. Now I've got the possibility to interact more with other people thanks to group discussions in class and thanks to blogging, which allow me to make comparisons and monitor my progress. So I'm ready for this new experience even if "it's a long and winding road"!!;-) At the end of the course I would like to say: " Ok Sere, this is what u've done and what you have achieved!!". Now I'm getting familiar with the blogosphere, but as soon as I'm able to know how things work, I'll post everything I find that might help me to achieve my language targets.

My child is born!

This is my first-born and just like all the mothers in the world I'm proud of it!!
I'm still trying to understand what this means to me... "I have to feed it" and "I have to take care of my creature"... It needs my help to grow up and I will do my very best because my desire is to create it in my own image ehehe... Jokes apart, I'm supposed to be serious now; this is my very first post and I would like you to have a look of what my first impressions of this new experience are...
To me blogging means to share something with somebody else. Blogs may include visual elements (texts and pictures), but also videos and audio files and they could be more than just a way to communicate something. They can become a way to reflect on life, works and culture and above all a way to interact with other people. And that's my purpose! As a student I want to improve my reading skills as well as my communication skills, and if I can do this with a little help of all of you, I'd be happy!! Collaboration is everything...so join me guys!!
