Paperwork done!

I finally manage to get all my paperwork done, and sent it to MyEducation yesterday.

Now I will have to wait until they have finished going through all my papers. Then One of them have to call me so we can set up a meeting, so I can get my interview done. At the interview as far as I’m aware – we actually just go through all the papers together, including my “Dear host family letter” all me references. I would guess it has to be in English – so they actually can hear which level I’m on.

Personally I have pressed excellent to, speaking, listening and reading. And Good in writing.

My language might not be fluent when I just have to say one or two sentences, but if I get started in English I will be able to do it as fluently as I can do. It’s extreamly hard to maintain my fluency. This summer it’s 3 years ago I was in Brighton. I really don’t understand where those years went. I lived in Brighton for three weeks, and when I got home I spoke fluent English. But every day I only get to talk Danish, Though I must admit that I often find myself speak English to myself. I guess it’s a way of keeping in touch with the language.

Listening is no problem, of course if people talk very fast or is mumbling it can be very difficult. But normal speaking and speed is no problem. It’s like I don’t have to translate everything in my head. Though I know my brain does it, it takes less than a second. I don’t feel it getting translated. Which must be a good thing I guess?

Reading is also excellent. As long as it’s “normal” pages I need to read. Like blogs, novels, short stories, etc. When it’s an “everyday language” It’s just easy for me.

Then we have the writing. Yes I am good, but I’m not excellent. I have tried to work on this for several years now. It’s a long and tough fight, but I won’t give up. I can see I have improved, and yes I do need a dictionary once in a while. But many times I know the word but don’t know how to spell it. I often makes mistakes in the To/Too though I have had several English teachers trying to teach me. Psychological is a very hard word to spell. And yes, I had to get my computer to correct it - which is why I often just use the word mentally. A lot easier!

The agency and I may not agree on my language skills. But I know I’m a lot better than many others. But it will turn out at the interview.

I really hope somebody is out there reading :) I feel kind of alone on the World Wide Web
