Hi, Marvin! I’m Nata from Belarus. So I’m also a Russian speaker =).I wish I never in my live experienced what your students do – language barriers is one of the most difficult to remove. I think that your job is very interesting and noble. You just should be more self-confident and I’m sure you’ll make it! Your hidden place is wonderful! I would like to have such!=) Good luck!

Hi there^^ well...to me, your writing skills are definitely upper-intermediate. So there is no need to be modest=) I was genuinely astounded when I read that a German blogger is about to come. Therefore, I'm looking very much forward to reading about how you think about Germany as well as the way a typical German man lives^^ Enjoy yourself and kind regards André

Nice to meet you Marvin! Your entry was very entertaining and informative. Being a student blog is a great opportunity to brush up on your English. I hope you enjoy your month :-). Best wishes, Ana Paula.

Hi Marvin! glad to meet you, You will get your certificate to teach english in Japan, your English level is high, I would want your proficiency! But I'm sure I'll get This last time I have a strong motivation many things are running good for me. I will look forward your next post. Best wishes

Hello Marvin! Welcome to the blog! I thought I read your blog twice. It's great that you teach German to Russians and I agree that lacking language proficiency is the main barrier to find a job. Could you tell me what language do you use in the lessons, English or Russian? Hope your CELT course goes well. Tell us more about it later, will you? I sympathize with you about how upset to be persecuted with the noise, tell a bit about the Volksfest fair though, What do people do there? Thanks, Best wishes, Yen.

Welcome Marvin, Finally We got the post...:). Having read your background, I think you should be in a teacher blog. Anyway..it's impresive introduction at least for me...looking forward to read yours.

Hi Marvin Very Welcome to this month Blog . It ‘s so fun and it ‘s very demanding at the same time . I ‘m sure at the end of month you will brush up on your writing skills a lot . From what you said about your life it seems that you have itchy feet , don’t you ? Speaking about Fairy , is the fairy ground a constant place for the fairy ? if yes so it ‘s better to find another flat to live . I keep my finger crossed in your English course in Ireland .So you are going to Blog from Ireland from next Monday . It will be very nice to hear about your challenges if you had time to write about them :) Have a nice Bloging month and bye

Dear Marvin, wow,most welcome to BBC blogging side, thanks giving us much information about yourself, we looking forward to your interesting blog in near on daily basis, Best wish

Hi Marvin, Finally you're here!. Nice to meet you.

A new friend,Nice to meet you!I'm a girl from China.Your blog is easy to read though my English is poor,I like to read it like a poet.

Hi Marvin Nice to meet you in this place,although you are late!i have no chance to go abroad,maybe it is more difficult than Europe to go abroad,so your different experiences for studying and travelling in many different countries are big envy of me,the same to you i hated enghish at school,when i graduated from college have to work in Shanghai(the biggest city in china and more international),i realized the english which was more important for me if i want to stay in shanghai and live better!! fortunately,i have cought up on my back study hardly for more than one year and keep doing this!! i want to make friends with you and share the methods to polish up the english level each other!!i happy to meet you!!Dino

Hi Marvin. My name is Antonio. Where do you live in Germany? I hated english too when I was student, but now I want learn it. I want work Europe..maybe Germany, Danmark or Sweden. How can Work in a foreign Country? I'm graduating in structural engineering..Can you suggest something to me? Thanks.. I'll read you every day. Bye

Hello Marvin! Nice to meet you. As for a scene of hustle bustle in front of your windows, I really understand what you’re talking about. It’s some kind of price we pay for living in down town. I have similar inconvenience every weekend, because my windows look straightly at Memorial of Glory. Memorial is obviously visited by any married couple just after official ceremony to pay respect warriors who gave their lives for motherland during WW2. Just married and maids bring flowers, uncork bottle of wine and take pictures in front of monument. I recon they‘re adamant that everyone has to know about arrival wedding cortege by hearing all cars’ horns aloud. See you later.

Hello Marvin, it's great to hear, or better, read, about you. I guess we'll be very lucky this month for we'll have the company of two teachers instead of one. Lucky us. I know I'm not really qualified to judge, but I'd say your writing is perfect. I don't think you'll have any problems being accepted in the program in Ireland. I loved the pictures you posted. We have festivals like that in my home town too, but they are not nearly as neat and organized as the one you showed, but they're pretty fun too. I guess you must live in a small town, don't you? Well, I hope to be in touch with you this whole month. Thank you. Good bye for now.

Hello Marvin. Very nice to meet you. It seems very clearly you have a high english level, so it will be a real defiance for those of us who don't have so good skills to blog with you during this month. Anyway, I think your story is very interesting, and even funny, in the part you take the decision to camp, to escape from the fair. As I always say, to big problems, big solutions. I hope the fair doesn't last for too long. Keep us informed. Bye and sweet dreams in your tent.

Hi Marvin, How nice to meet you, a German guy! My dad´s mum is from Germany, he came to Brazil when the first German bank was open. He went to live in Niteroi in Rio de Janeiro and then his daughter, my granny, got married to an English bloke who came to Brazil to work in a British company here! So here am I, a quarter of German, English, and the rest Brazilian! Although, I do speak German the sound of the language is quite familiar to me. It was in fact, my dad´s first language! So as you can see the "globalazation" started earlier in my family.Like you English was not my best school subject but when I became older I developed a a special interest in it and now I study it with releish, savouring every opportunity!Your account makes it evident that we all have the ability to learn a language and living abroad can do wonders to your performance! I never had the chance of living abroad, like you did, although I´ve already been abroad as a tourist.This is in fact a dream I have! Your work with the Russian seemed really interesting!It is nice when we can use our knowledge to help genuinely help people.Do you speak a bit of Russian? How was your interaction with the students?

Dear Marvin, It is pleasure to know that you are keen to learn English language as much as possible. Your post tells us that you have put all effort to improve writing skill in English. Since you had lived in Canada and Scotland, and got an opportunity to learn English speaking skill as you mentioned in your post. In my opinion, this month will be fruitful for you to learn writing skill and how much you will learn depend on how much effort you put on. You showed eagerness to help those to people who aren’t able to get job because they speak only Russian. Your enthusiasm to teach either German or English in foreign country is really appreciable. Best of luck!

Oops! A botton was pressed!! Well, why did you quit your project with the Russians? Where will you be teaching English? In Russia? In Japan? In Turkey?Is there a special place in your mind? Have you thought about taking the Delta? It is recommended for people who intend to teach English and it a recognized certification.

Hello Marvin! Wel com to the BBC student blog. Its nice to meet a German! U know I really like Germany & its people albeit I have not been there but people say that Germans are much like our Pathans & I have heard a lot about Germany. Your blog was very interesting & informative & the way you throw the light on the importance of learning english was terrific, thanks for that. I hope your it will help people to understand how important english is in today's World. I am curiousely looking forward to hearing lovely stories about Germany & its people, Stay Cool. Niaz

Hello Marvin! I used to live next to Germany, not very far from Strasburg... You'll have another big fete soon: the Oktoberfest!!! The weather will be cold to sleep outside!!Bye

Hi Marvin! Welcome to the blogland :). Hope we all enjoy your informative blogs throughout this month. You got a good opportunity to polish your writing skills. Have a nice weekend!. Mahjabeen

Hi Marvin.Welcom to bloging world.I'm one of this morld visitor but due to same happy events i coudn't did during thwo monht .Now i come back and i consider myself lucky because i will have a good student and teacher too. You experience with fair is same to mine during last month i have suffered from loud music evry night,but i didn't vave the oppotunity to do as you .Then i had obliged to lerate with it. Good luck with your CELT . Anwar

Hi Marvin, great experiencie if you arrive to go to Japan. Surely you'll pass your exam with a great mark. Relax and be confident. see you, toni.

Welcome Marvin, it seems a little strange to me than a German wants to teach English in another countries, but perhaps it is because I like to travel like a tourist but I like to remain living in my country. I suppose you are keeping some information for the next blog, because you said that the fest is in town, but if I am right, you did'nt say where do you live. Bye

Hi Marvin, You write beautifully. I'm sure you'll feel very confortable with your new job, so please don't panic. Moreover after this month you'll feel more confident, you'll see. Being student blogger is great. The experience is unique. So welcome to it and enjoy yourself. Looking forward to your next blog. Cris PS: take note that some messages are not posted immediately because of our different zone times and especially at the weekends.

Hi Marvin Welcome as a blogger.I hope you will write more often.I read your first blog with interest.Thank you very much. Don't forget your readers. We are waiting for your writings. By for now. :))

Hi Marvin and welcome! Like you,I'd also like to teach my language, Spanish, abroad...but I'll have to wait for a couple of years until I finish my career first. It'd be great to learn a bit more of the German culture, so I'm looking forward to your next post. And about the fair, it actually seems to be fun, just too bad is a step away from your house and you hear all the noise! Regards, Liz

hello Marvin, i am so glad to hear your story but of course stimulating and sensible.you suspect that your written english is bad but your posted document hasn't showed that.i strongly believe that you just need frequent posting that will help you to get your optimum confidence level.i will keep my finger cross for you.surprisingly, all your pictures are wonderful and it reminds me some nostalgic events.keep on posting .i will be in touch.

Hi,Marvin great to meet you. I really enjoyed reading your post.I am so sorry to hear about the disturbance from fair.I hope that it wont last long.You seem to be enriched person and has somany things to share with us.Hope to learn so many things from you in this one month period. Good luck.

hello marvin,thanks sharing your story with us ,as a graduate student of medical school, english is important for study.although have learnt english about 8years, until now have difficult communicate with others.but i didn't give up.

Hallo Marvin, I am Deepak. I really enjoyed with the blog for which i was eagarly waiting. First of all i want to tell you that you are very good in english and i have no doubt that you will teach english very well. Whatever you wrote in the blog i like it very much. I would also like to teach english. I love this language. I read newspaper daily. It gave me confidence which i think is very essential for language one want to speak or write. I would like to know more about you. Wish you all the best. Be happy. Hallow teacher, Simon it is my humble request to you, that please point out my mistakes and kindly give your valuable advice to develop my english.

Ciao, Marvin. It's not easy to come forward trying to speak in a foreign language but you came off very well in your introduction, putting yourself across as well. Your actions and choises speak of a profound interest in a sole subject: communication. And you always stick to your guns: that is clearing up the communication process you are so interested in, thinking it over even... in your tent! You pitched on, for this purpose, psychology, photography, the English language... They are, as a whole, the very thing: what you need for attaining what seems to be the aim of your life.

Hi Marvin, I am very much excited to know that your age is same that of mine. your expression is so natural and so friendly that Ican't imagine that you are a friend from long long away the country Germany.you described about a fair.Since my childhood the fair gets a nastalgic memory in my mind.This is my first time to have had a scope to write something in internet to a friend of German.Don't forget me.Iam waiting to know more from your writing. Many many thanks from Bapuji. India.

hi Marvin...I read your text and I think that your english is very well...I was hate English when I was at school too..but now I want to improve it so much..byee

Hi Marvin, i am sure that you must be crazy about English. cos while knowing you are from germany and trying to be a good English teacher, make me confused. why not German teacher but English teacher? i am from China, it would be funny that if i can get the certification of being an English teacher abroad....can i??? haha

Hi Marvin, I enjoy reading your texts. Don't have a doubt about yourself, because then you get nowhere. I believe you don't need to have a doubt , because your english is perfect.
