So yeah... i did this. It's me singing Hesitate by Stone Sour. It's a bit rough because I had to rush to do it while my son was being quiet and I'm nervous as hell posting this but... here you go. Me singing. It is by no means my best. I messed up a couple of times. but... *goes to hide in a corner* 

What I really appreciated during my private lessons, was very well explained grammar, I couldn't understand a bit in school, but then I talked about it a lot with my tutor and since we had all the time in the world, one day it just CLICKED. But there's nothing like tumblr and fandoms.

Me too. I sometimes find it very difficult to talk about book/poem, because it makes me feel in the ways I would never be able to explain, like it appeals to my personal experience in a certain way and no one ever can share this particular feeling.

She was great, I miss her so much. Thanks :) French is really beautiful and I'd love to be able to speak it well one day. But I don't know, I learn it only in school(because I started to really like and understand English when I started taking private lessons), so maybe that's the problem.

Yeah, same here. I hate it when we are talking about poems/literature in general, but it's more common when we are talking about poetry and me/someone else talks about how they understand it, what they thing it's about, and the teacher goes 'Yeah, maybe, but you wouldn't get any points at the matura, because the answer key says something different'. That's why I liked that substitute teacher we had for a few months last year. We read and talked about how WE feel about it, discussing different interpretations. She wanted us to be creative, to try and think for ourselves. For example, we had to do some group project(my group had to make a mock interview with a director who decided to make a film about famous Polish poet Cyprian Kamil Norwid based on his poems and show our work in any way we want. We made a video of that 'interview' with some false scenes from that 'movie', you know, like typical sit-down with a creator. It was great fun and I still remember like A LOT about Norwid which I can't say about many poets we were talking about with our current teacher).

I'm learing French, but I'm so bad at it. At university I'm going to learn Latin and Spanish/Italian, I haven't decided yet. Arabic fascinates me, ancient Greek as well, I have never particulary though about learing Hebrew. I started to love Russian lately, three years of learning it in primary school was traumatizing and I needed six more to understand how beautiful this language is. I wish I could spend some time in UK/US to improve my English.

Sometimes I'm bored with the way school teaches us stuff(at least in Poland) - by making us memorize boring information to pass the test. I hate it. But when I'm given the opportunity to discover, to try, to feel, to experience... There's almost nothing I would like to do.

Hee, don't worry, not many people know much about Finland. Mostly that it's cold and dark most of the time, that we make a lot of cell phones (Nokia) have lots of untouched wilderness and tend to drink a lot. :D
