It's kind of amazing and wonderful to see this kind of thing happening in a time when the impression we get frm the media is that learning English might be considered somewhat embarrassing or distasteful in some national circles these days.

Wow, English is you second language? You sound great. I love your accent, it very good. It's sounds more American that British. :)

[komikero]

Yes, it does go away, at least when you're alone. It still feels embarassing out in public. :) What's great about doing video blogs here on You Tube it allows me to practice speaking English, and looking at the video you just responded to I think wow, I think I've improved a little bit. Thanks very much for the video response! :D

Like you, English is not my native tongue. So speaking English is a bit weird for me. I do have to speak it (as well as German) at work, but still it's strange. There is a difference between speaking to a person and a camera. If you can't find the right words, a person can help you, but when you are in front of your camera . . .well, you just have "dead air".

The one good thing from speaking English is that almost everybody in any country can understand you.
