Hi Pln, Claire, Elham, Briana, Charles, Dipodae, Josney, Simone, Su and all!!! How many people in here!!! LOL
Pln, thanks for the praising words, it's a pleasure for me to know that I have some participation in the success of the group, as all of the members as well. Pablo sent a post about the making English a habit, now writing and reading here is a habit for me, I'm always anxious to check out the latest posts. What a story you told us, Pln!!! That mother was kind of "unfair" to ask you to say that, wasn't she? I'm curious to know what was you answer to her. If I were in your shoes, I would be lost and I don't know what would be my reaction. I would guess you realized her wish but then you maybe got upset by doing that. It really got me intrigued, tell us what you said LOL Have a nice day!!
