Summer is over and it's time to get back to blogging and helping people with English again. July was the last time that I updated this blog. That's far too long to be away and I'm sorry about that. I think everyone has forgotten about me!
I'm in Canada, Toronto to be specific. If you are in China you can see my videos on youku.com. Search for mapleleafman or take the link from my profile page.
If you are anywhere else, check out my videos on youtube.com. If you are in Iran or Turkey and your government is being silly by blocking youtube, head over to youku.com and see me there. Sure, it's in Chinese but you can figure out how to search. The interface is the same as the one on youtube.
I use QQ to chat, as well as MSN and, very rarely, Yahoo. If you send me a private message I will give you my QQ number.
Right now, I am writing for an American computer magazine's website. While I don't have the same amount of time as I did before, I can still help you out if you are nice and polite. I don't edit work or essays but I can help you with specific problems.
English is difficult, for sure, but you can do it. There are many people who are making a living here in Canada who don't speak perfect English. I would bet that you speak English just as well as some of the people I deal with here in Toronto. You can do it! Just don't give up.
Thanks for reading!
