Now there is a kind of struggle that’s going on in my mind for the last few minutes. One part of me wants to use English to think and write in this language; whereas another part demands to come back to what I’ve been doing during the last 20 days and apply English only for translation.
I’m sure that without practicing to think and write in English there is no way to really get what I want to get. I mean it’s impossible to fully wrap your head around another language if you don’t use it for thinking. I repeated lots of times and will say it again: There is no need to judge yourself for your weak vocabulary or grammar or whatever else it may be—focus on something you can do well and write about it without worrying whether you do it good or bad.
Okay, what’s about the time when there is nothing worth to mention? Again, it’s not an excellent blog for stupid little girls; if there is nothing worth to mention—write about banal, daily things. That’s kinda obvious; you can’t be in a mood of thrilling inspiration for the whole time you’re maintaining your fucking journal; and there are plenty of common days when only usual, trivial things happen. So if you expect to be awesome all the time and spread your damn wisdom on every page, you have a big risk of being unsatisfied. But if you pursue this daily task and use your language to grasp as many things which occur in your life as you can, then it’ll certainly help you to improve not only your language but many other things in your life as well. If there is a sense of tiredness, of course, it’s possible to shift back to Russian for a moment in order to recover your power, as it has been done recently here. But after you’ve done that, when you feel strong again, let’s go ahead and develop such amazing English which any damn Russian has never dreamed of.
