But first of all welcome to the blogland of 蜜芽传媒LE. You've a witty style of writing and the way you introduced yourself is really catchy. It's nice to know that you like singing too. Who is your favourite singer? Your posted pics are very vibrant and colorful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Take care,

Hi Sean,
nice to meet you, I am also blogger since September, and we were waiting already for you, I like this blog very much because after a long week or hard day being at work I get something different and also to see what happen on the other site of the world, That is wonderful! away from much advertisements of the city and the noise of cars on the streets...just for example I get to know you and believe or not you also keep the spotlight, well such descriptions of what you do and all you are up to it is impossible just to pass it over. it is great ! and we learn new more things!!!
how did you get that picture of the man outside the window? must be a trick
and the chocolate cake, did you have birthday?
see you
xx

Hooray - the teacher has turned up - at last! Hello, Sean, glad to meet you! I'm impressed how many languages you speak and what a lot of interesting things you have done in your career.
So you said you were intending to focus Learning English more on English News, etc. Well, whatever consequences that may have - isn't there an abundance of news around all over the place anyway? I thought it was just such a charming feature of Learning English that there was so much room for things that have nothing to do with the latest news. For instance I really enjoyed the staff blog with all those lovely random topics being dealt with. I miss that blog. Is it going to disappear? Mind you, I'm not opposed to change on principle - soooo let's see what's going to happen and hope for the best!
So long,
Elisabeth (Austria)

Hello Sean,
This is the first time that I am writing in this blog, and I hope that it will be the first step for a string of comments.
I enjoyed your self-introduction and eagerness to teach, one of the more important virtues in this vocation.
I am in the process of brushing up my English, which is full of mistakes already ingraned inside my brain because I have been shirking for too many years. I know that it will take time and patiente to change it, but also I would like to take the big challege and do something serious to start writing and speaking a proper English.
My native language is Spanish and most of the time it interferes with my English production, however I think that reading and writing asiduously in this blog, will be of great help to correct it.
Currently I am living in Japan and I still am fighting with the Japanese language, which sometimes is like climbing the Everest with highheels.
Yours sincerely,

Hello Sean,

great to have a teacher blogger again. And Mario's posts are great and deserve to be commented by someone as experienced as you are.
Your job seems to be amazing. Very creative and full of colors. Thank you for joining the blog and be welcome.

Hello Sean!

First at all, Welcome to staff Teacher Blog! Everybody was expecting about you!

I felt really grateful for your commets and advices. I love your job. One of my dreams is work like you in a big mass media company where all the world can read my articles. In this site I could find this opportunity, It鈥檚 the first time that People from other places in the world can read and comments my posts.

Your introduction it鈥檚 great ! I was very flattered that you have imitated my first paragraph. It鈥檚 amazing the languages you can speak. You鈥� re really good at your work in other case you couldn鈥檛 enjoy it. Like you I love write.

Writing for me it鈥檚 a sort of expression of Arts. With the same dedication that a sculptor make his sculptures, a journalist write his stories, for this reason I try to be very accurate with my writing besides I am fond of information, If people don鈥檛 catch what I want to say I failed.

Today I read something about Mario Vargas Llosa. He said 鈥淪omeone who does not follow his vocation is sentenced to unhappiness鈥�.

In addition, I have a suggestion. Why don鈥檛 you create a kind of forum, maybe on facebook. You can choose a topic to discuss everyday, I think it鈥� would be great!

I forgot something. I said I didn鈥檛 have a boss, but I could do a exception! =)

Best Regards

Miguel

@Mauricio: Here's a limerick which I would like to dedicate to you;)

There was a great blog from Peru
where Miguel mentioned Mario too -
Now the one won a prize
of considerable size,
but the question remains - who is who?

No offence meant!!!!
See you,
Elisabeth (Austria)

Thanks for all your comments! I'm enjoying reading them as I listen to programmes for feedback! Multi-tasking! Not a typical male or perhaps a typical British skill... and most of the time I don't like doing that... I guess it depends on the tasks! These are both enjoyable and go well together.

Sero, the chocolote cake was in celebration of the anniversary of 蜜芽传媒e! I'm sure you know Carrie - she made it. Yummy!

Elisabeth - yes at last! Are you a teacher too? You have a certain authoratative tone? ;-) I'll explain more in my posts about our plans and some of the changes - but don't worry, I too think the random topics are charming and hope to get more people involved in the staff blog (but news can also be charming! Fashion, Music, Entertainment, Sport, Business, Technology etc etc)...

Thanks Mauricio, yes it is an amazing job! What do you love?

Miguel, thanks for your welcome too. Yes I have to say I am lucky to have such an interesting and enjoyable job - and it's always good to have people remind you! I've been reading your latest post with interest and will comment soon in my second post... it's going to be about ghosts! So I hope no one - especially Sadith! ;-) will be scared!

All the best
Sean

Hi Sean,

It's a pleasure to have met you over the internet. I consider myself as one of your dedicated online students. I have been using this wonderful website since 2006. I was in Egypt when African Cup of Nations final was kicking off. Your fist blog took me really back.

I'm not passionate about football, but I like watching major tournaments like the World Cup, ACN, Euro Cup and so on. At the moment I live in Kampala, Uganda. so, how does that sound make you feel? Obviously, that's where you're born.

nice to meet you,

Abdisamad

Hi Sean! Hi everyone!
Sean, nice to meet you, I'm glad you are with us. I want to add "at last or finally" too, these words are on the tip of my tongue, it's because, you know, we have been waiting for you for a not-so-little while. I'm impressed with your knowledge of languages, it's amazing! I'm looking forward to reading everything what you have to say (or write).

Dear Soumia from Brezina/Algeria! Nice to meet you. You are absolutely right saying that it鈥檚 very important to have a response to your questions, comments. Apart from encouragement it gives you reassurance that you aren鈥檛 being simply ignored by people. I always feel uncomfortable when I say or ask something and there is silence instead of reply, as if my words dissolve into thin air, as if nobody hears me and nobody cares enough to say something in return. It鈥檚 very frustrating sometimes. But don't be sad, there are attentive and polite people in this world who can always find some kind, warm words for you. Such as Dommi, for instance. Dommi, how are you? I miss you sunny girl!

Bye for now,
best wishes,
Svetlana, Russia

Soumia! I'm awfully sorry, but I think I've made a huge mistake! The collocation "warm words" turned out to have the opposite meaning in English to the same combination of words in Russian! In Russian to say warm words somebody means to say swomething good, kind, encouraging. In English "to have warm words with somebody" means, if I can trust my dictionary, to say something harsh, to have a quarrel. I should have been more careful choosing my words. Sorry, I ment no harm.

Svetlana, Russia

salam svetlana , salam everyone :
my dear Svetlana , i'm so glad and greatful to your person at least my words has found an open ears and a generous heart and mind that care so thanks and don't be sorry i know that you didn't mean it .
i know few things about Russia , cold weather , Vlademir Potin and a people found of chess game in fact i think you have many grandmaster and famous players of this game such as Anatoly Karpov i'm really found of this game but infortunatly i play it only once so dear i guess there are planty of genuis around you as chess is the game of intelligence by the way do you play it? or what do you do in your passtime?
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST MY FREIND
I'll never throw the towel in my prject to learn english.
Salam

Dear everybody,
I just become aware that I sent my message twice. I thought that the first one has been erased, so I corrected some spell mistakes and send it again. I am very sorry.
Best regards.

Hi Sean! Wellcome! According to the photographs it looks like enjoying chocolate cace is more serious 麓work麓 than enjoying the African cup. However, the most enjoyable, according to the excitement in your writing to Miguel and to us, seems to me your work, work and work! Hope you are going to have time enough to write more in detail about things from the bit mysterious 7th paragraph. Looking forward to the next! marianna

Hi dear Soumia! In fact I鈥檓 not very interested in playing chess and know little about this game. I played chess several times, but it was so long ago that I don鈥檛 really remember it. This game was very popular amongst the people in the Soviet Union, and from that time I know a few names of the Grand Masters, but nowadays鈥� I don鈥檛 know. Of course there are chess schools and the like in our country, for instance there is a chess amateur society at my son鈥檚 school, but he doesn鈥檛 play chess either, he plays hockey. I wonder if you know anything about hockey. I usually spend my free time by reading books. I like watching good films on DVD either, but I do it not so often as I鈥檇 like to. I don鈥檛 have much free time unfortunately. 24 hours is not enough for me to do all the things I like.
About weather. You know, people all over the world often think of Russia this way: cold weather all the year round, white bears walk up and down the streets, all the people drink vodka and other stuff like this. This description of my country always brings smile to my lips. The thing is the Russian Federation is very big country, and there is a variety of everything. Russia has a vast territory which consists of a few geographical areas with different climates. There are the southern areas where you can find palm trees and other tropical plants and where hot or warm weather is most time of the year. In the place where I live we have primarily long cold winters with a lot of snow, but may be you know about global climate change, each year is different now, and weather is always difficult to predict. This summer we had two incredibly hot months which had never happened before, judging from the official record. And our weather forecasters say that we are going to have an extremely cold winter this year. We鈥檒l see whether their prognosis is correct. I hope we won鈥檛 freeze.

Bye for now, all the best,
Svetlana,Russia

Hi there!

Thank you for your interesting post and many new words.I would like to express my special gratitude for the word witty, this is the word I've been looking for a such long time!

Thank you,

Hello Sean,

Welcome and thanks a lot for this brilliant start. I confess you've rightly compensated for the loss of first ten days ): ):

It's really surprising that you can speak English, French, German, Spanish Arabic, Chinese and Swahili, Oh God, seven languages! The lucky seven!! So, where will you stop, Sean? What's your target, half-century or century!!!

I really liked your writing, Sean. It's pretty lively. I enjoyed especially the part 'Some notes on Miguel's English' as I think it provides the student and all us an opportunity to correct ourselves. 'Some explanations of my English' part is also very clear. Thanks again.
Look forward to your next delivery.

@ Svetlana: How are you? I'm really anxious about the predicated weather in the upcoming winter. Nobody can guess how much more impacts due to climate change we'll have to suffer. Anyway, get ready with your warm cloths. We're also in same condition in Bangladesh. Moreover, the rain was not sufficient this rainy season. So, we predict we'll suffer severe winter this year. We here believe in a proverb as it's true in our environment 'Less rainfall always results into a colder winter'.

@ Misou: 'Sometimes silence expresses you most effectively', says someone. So, don't think that nobody cares you. Welcome!

@ Elisabeth: Thanks for the Limerick. It's lovely. I adore reading such types of pieces. So, carry on.

Thanks to all.

Ashish, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Hello Sean and fellow bloggers,
I have been reading your comments and I can see that not only your English level is very high, but also you have started some kind of community that transmits warm feelings and support for others.
Learning surrounded by in this kind of atmosphere might help to keep my motivation to learn while making virtual friends all over the world.
Thank you for be there.
