Today, finally I could make a meeting with one of my classmates in Feminist Theories course. She originally is Indian and is PhD student in English Literature. No need to emphasis that she is intellectually speak English. She was born here and even talk to her parents in English. I like her because she was so cute and also she has been the only English speaker who has a great calmness in her face! I admire her relaxation and I felt we have many similarities. I asked her to meet each other and have a coffee and talk more. Interestingly, she welcomed and told me that she like me so much and I like to be friend with me if I like too. Like?! I desire :)
I discussed to her about English language. She pointed out: When you are talking in English, you make other to listen to you. You talk from an authority which I like it. Fascinating! I never know it about myself!
Today, also one of my Iranian friends who has lived in Canada since 10 years ago and is an English teacher told me your speaking is improved. I said to her: Are you kidding me?! I really feel that my speaking is weaken than 3-4 months ago and I think it was better at the first days. I actually feel I am going back in speaking in English. She said: Believe me. I am an English teacher and can distinguish your improvement. Maybe now you can compare yourself with English speakers more now and conclude that you become weaker, but it is not true. I feel you gradually are able to active to some parts of your vocabulary which are posed in the back of your mind and remain passive. The most important attempt is make your passive vocabularies active! Thanks God :)
