How can you be inferior when you are multilingual? Bilinguals are great but you are greater. :) But if you really need a little boost, try to learn English from native speakers at http://preply.com/en/skype/english-native-speakers . A little practice won't hurt. And when you feel like you're getting better at it , I guess your confidence goes with it.

It's "salamat" in the Philippines and "maraming salamat" for "many thanks" in English or "thank you so/very much". I learned English at a very young age but I"m continuing to improve by enrolling myself to accent reduction classes at Preple, a company I heard from my cousin. They teach Chinese, too, which I would like to learn in the future. Right now, I'm on an easy Portuguese course at http://preply.com/en/portuguese-by-skype . Learning languages is really fun for me. Although I'm not an expert at any language other than Tagalog and a couple of other Filipino dialects, i, unlike other people, like that I know a little of several languages.

DigitalSea : I agree. It's really hard to live and work somewhere other than your own country. To add to all the hardships that come with the situation, I didn't know the language. I had to use Skype to learn Ukrainian. I had to start from scratch. I enrolled in http://preply.com/en/ukrainian-by-skype to get me started. The instructor was pretty good but of course, I couldn't learn the whole thing in a month. Although I am still struggling with the language, I realize this comes with the job.

I agree. Totally. I am not a very intellectual person, and you could say I'm a slow learner. But I really cannot fathom how these people can learn that much in so little a time. I'm currently enrolled in http://preply.com/en/skype/english-native-speakers where I get to chat with native English speakers online. And even if I am in the advanced levels of English, I am still learning a lot from my instructors. This means that, even after more than 20 years of speaking the language, I still haven't mastered it yet. I don't know how these people are doing it. It's amazing if it's true. But right now, I'm not buying it

To some extent, it is true that finances (or the lack of) play a big part in whether or not a student goes to university. However, if you were born under those circumstances, like I was, the best thing to do is to work hard to make sure you reach that goal. I was born in an environment where attending university is not a necessity but a privilege. People from our neighborhood would rather have their children working after high school. Why? Because working rakes in money for the household, while attending school means having to spend out of what is left of your household's allocated budget. I thought differently. I knew that if I thought the way my parents did, it will be a never-ending story. My son and his sons will suffer the same fate. I didn't want that. While I was still in high school, I knew I wouldn't be able to attend further schooling so I started to save. After graduating, I tried hard to look for scholarships. While waiting, I enrolled myself in http://preply.com/en for some private tuturing because it was more affordable. I didn't want to get left behind. As of the moment, I am still waiting, I am behind by 1 year but I believe that I will get there. If I ever get into university, I will have proof that sometimes, it's only just a matter of working hard for your dreams. If not, I will make sure that my son does.
