Hi, my name is Tanja. I am from Germany and I want to improve my English, or better say, I would like NOT to forget it. I don´t have many people to talk to, and if I talk English, it is only small talk. (And they would never correct me). So I think lang-8 is a very good idea. I only read English books, to stay in touch with the language....if you have a good suggestion for a book, I´ll take it.
So that´s it for now.
Bye

" i wouldn't want to forget what i have learned in English " or "i wouldn't want to forget the english words that i have learned".
