@MilielaTigresse @Romilly Oh thanks ! Have you learned German and English at school ? And how did you learn with books or alone ? Because if you have some tips for help (in grammar, or mnemonic's advice) in the both language(s) ? (I don't know if I must add "s" in language 
because I think it's invariable but for some reason, I have a doubt..).

I learned first at school, but I was bad in English, and then I spent some time in Denmark, and English was easier than Danish ^^ THat's how I learned more. Then I started to watch TV in original soundtrack and that helped a lot. For German, I live in Germany, that forces me to speak and I improved very quickly. My advice: watch tv and read books in the language that you want to improve, and find someone to talk to..@MilielaTigresse @Romilly Oh thanks ! Have you learned German and English at school ?

@Romilly Yeah, since October/November I watch all my series, and read a lot in English because I want to force myself to be in a english's context for make fast progress. It was really hard at the beginning but now it's ok because I havn't really the chose if i want to be better.
But it's different for my German, indeed it's a language who is difficult (for me) to find a lot of resources (on the net) like series in english with substiles in german.. Maybe it's just me, because I don't know where research or I didn't use good links.
@Beanie Oh Hi ! Yes, I have a little question. My teacher (she comes from US) said when we use "according to me" it's wrong but sometimes when I read or listen in english I see "according to me" so, Did she wrong when she say that ? Or is it true ?

They seem to agree it's grammatically correct, but don't reach a concensus on whether or not you should use it. From what I gather, "according to" is to be used to refer to an outside source, someone or something other than yourself. It might have crossed into common langage tho, I read it from time to time.

Hey @Mlle C. ! I am a bit curious... What kind of work did you do? That seems interesting
Italian is nice too, I tried to study it but I had a terrible teacher who showed us video tapes which were already old fashioned in the 90's ^^
Did you learn it at school or do you have Italian-speaking relatives?

Waw! You're lucky to have such a good experience, few people are allowed to share Cinderella and other princesses' daily life 
That must be quite a thing to be backstage and know things that the public don't.
I'm also looking for a job as a receptionnist or secretary, I wish you good luck
You're right, I should, I just need a motivation. When I had to improve my English in high school, I watched a lot of series and my passion for rock music helped a lot. I can't find the same kind of stuff, I don't know how to explain, I hope you see what I mean ^^
What I like in learning another language is that it's like having a "superpower", the ability to communicate with foreign people. And it's great if you want to travel.
If you had the possibility (time, money, ...), where would you go?

Thanks! I had to come back home in the country in June, at the end of my "licence" (degree? I never know how to explain it in English ^^"). I miss the city and its endless possibilities... Like being able to take the bus/ tram when your f*cking car decides to ruin your day! (True story, I'm so angry right now).
Sorry for these disrespectful people you met, I'm often surprised when it happens to me, but maybe that's because I hang out too much on Madmoizelle (such a safe zone!) At least, it might happen less often in your next job than it used to in the previous. (Fingers crossed!)
Oh I never thought of changing the dubbing, thanks
I'll try with something I've already seen.
Yeah, Italy seems really nice, so many museums and art and landscapes and old cities full of history..
Actually, we have these cities in common ^^ I'm also fascinated by London, and I wish someday I'll travel all around UK, maybe see places mentioned by Jane Austen
And the USA are also on my list. I'm still wondering where to start
Is your friend from Finland or in Erasmus or something?

So let's talk! What are you doing in Ireland (babysitting isn't it?) ? Why did you chose Ireland and not one other English country ?
So far do you enjoy your time in Ireland ? Did you met people ? In which part of Ireland are you ?
