English and myself

I always liked English. Languages are very much as living systems or living beings. And like living beings you may like or dislike a language very soon after you "meet" them. English phonetics are part of the reason I do like English. It is a language with a wide range of sounds either from its vowels or from its consonants. After some time when I was more acquainted about English I realized one of the most poweful characteristics of this language. This is the abillty of English of expressing an idea, a concept or an action with very few short words. It's what I call languge efficiency. To be an efficient language it must accept a lot of flexibility in the meaning of its words. English does it and even is extremely good at creating new words as long as they are needed with changing times.

The opposite to my point on English are the latin languages. They are very good in academic environtments but they "suffer" when modern times demand them to evolve as technologies or general situations change.

This week I may have not learned much English yet. But to be honest I'm very pleased to be within the class group and Felicity. You know I can hardly remember myself in a class having other people to work with. At the very beginning of first day it was strange because I'm used to do what I want the way I want. But all people in this class look very nice and I'm also happy to see that we can work together very well since English level seems quite balanced among all of us.
