I think I’m nobody.
Or maybe I’m everyone…
I’m just another girl in the blogger’s world named Isabelle. I’m living in Paris even if I’m seriously thinking about moving to London. That’s why I really want to improve my English. I talk a lot with my English friends, but talking is not the same than writing right ? So, I do really hope that you will help me with my little challenge to write in this beautiful language. That would be so lovely !
So I really do hope that you will like my little world.
I think you will find a lot of support and encouragement. Write as often as you can in English, even your shopping lists. π
Thank you for your support ! I will do everything to increase my vocabulary and to write as much as I can ! π
Your English isn’t that bad! How old are you? (:
Thank you ! I’m just 28 years old now but I’ve always wanted to be fluent in English even when I was in the High-school. So I guess that could explain why I’m so motivated π
I just noticed your comment image in the side panel. I absolutely love it, π
Don’t miss my posting tomorrow. You will like it!!
Thanks really easy to make π
Some post-it, your very best handwriting (I know my handwriting is a little bit bad lol), any background that you wish and an Iphone !! For more fun, I used Instagram application.
I won’t miss it! I can’t wait to read it!!! π

I saw your comment on the blogging buddies post. English is my second language too, but I am quite proficient now.I was actually thinking of taking a French course too. Blogging in a non-native language is really courageous of you. I have subscribed to your blog. If you wanna be buddies, just put up a comment here π

Hi, I got here from Akshay’s blog. I too have taken up postaweek2011. My mother-tongue is malayalam but English is the only language that I am very proficient in. I am learning German currently and would start French soon. I have subscribed to your blog. If you want to be a blogging buddy could you please put up a comment here – http://vinitneo.com/2011/01/i-am-posting-every-week-in-2011/
Good luck with the challenge !! I will keep an eye on your blog every week !
I had German classes and I really liked this language, unfortunately I can’t speak it any more…
Hello,
I found your blog on another one where you left a comment. I lived in the EU for a year (Ireland). It was great. Good luck moving to England.
Hello, welcome in my blog ! I still not live in London but I definately think about it π My English friend just push me to move too !!!
How was this year in Ireland ?! What was your feeling about it ? π
Hi Isabelle,
I am from Brazil, my first language is Portuguese and I am, as you, trying to write in English. I just adore how the English language flows.
I’m keeping an eye on your blog!
Cheers,
Pat
OΓ― Patricia !
Tudo bem ? I’m sorry but my portugues is not good anymore…. That’s great that you’re reading my little blog, I don’t have much time for now to write but a soon as I can, I will publish a post and go to read your blog too ! π
Love
Isabelle, I’ve missed you so much. I want to know how you are doing at the job. Glad to see you back again. π
Hello !!!
I miss you all too !!! Tomorrow will be my first day off for the first time in 2 weeks ! π I’m glad that I could have some rest, watching a DVD or going to the movie, maybe seeing a friend and of course writing a little bit !!! π
I will try to catch up my late with all your post !!
Enjoy your time off and just write a new post telling us all about your work the last couple of weeks. I think everyone will be happy with that. π
I will !! π
And there is so many to write about !! π I will not even know to start. π
Just wanted to say hope all’s well with you. Am thinking of you and your work situation.
hugs…hugmamma. π
Thank you Hugmamma !!!
All of you, family, my boyfriend, my friends and of course all my “blog buddies” give me my smile back just with your little comments π There is no price for this ! π
Hello! Thanks so much for subscribing to my blog!! π I shall do the same with yours as well! You really are brave to blog in a language that’s not native to you, but hey, you do it well!!!
Take care and shall come by to read your lovely posts!
Thanks you !!
I really liked your blog when I’ve read it ! It’s such a pleasure that you like mine too ! π
Love
I’m so jealous you live in Paris!!! I’ve always wanted to go there π
I’m sure one day you could come to Paris too and I would be glad to show you the lovely places in the city of Lights ! π
It is so courageous of you to blog in English. I wish I spoke enough/could write in French to do something similar. French is such a beautiful language, I should commit to speaking/writing it better.
Good luck. I’m subscribing.
Thank you so much for your compliment and for subscribing to my little blog. π
I could help you with French if you want to !
Love from Paris π
You’re welcome!
Vraiment? Merci bien.
I’m planning a short trip to London next month, hope to take the chunnel to Paris. Can’t wait!
I hope I will not be working too much when you will come to Paris ! It could be lovely to meet each other somewhere! π
London is so great, I have been once and I loved this city, so cosmopolitan, such a wonderful city, if you like the museum, you will be delighted ! Go to the Tate Modern up to the last flour there is such a beautiful view of London from their Bar / restaurant !
Yes, I’d love that! Wow, I’d say the same about Paris!!
I love visiting London, don’t think I could live there though. And yes, the Tate is on my list — I will now add the last floor bar/resto for the view.
Merci,
Marcia
Oh and don’t forget to visit “Portebello Road” in Notthinghill, there is a beautiful market there, another beautiful market is “Market Borrough” very beautiful !! Have you planed to go to “Kingley str” or “Carnaby Str” ? It’s really lovely. Covent Garden is really nice too, because there is some street artists performing in the market. Oh and don’t forget to buy, test some “Fortnum and Mason” tea ! I strongly recommand you “Countess grey”, really a great tea, I love it !! I’m trying to think about another place to see ot to go…. Oh yes there is Camden Town and Little venice too ! Little venice is a lovely walk along the canal to do. If you want to lunch in a special place, go to “The Place Below” in La City, you will lunch in a crypt of a Church !! I couldn’t do it but next time, I will !! π
Love
Thanks for this list.
I laughed when I read it because I’m looking forward more to being in Paris than in London, that I haven’t even planned what I’ll do after i go to Stonehenge!
I’ll definitely begin planning my days.
Thanks, Isabelle!

π
Hi..Wanna be my blog buddy? I’m new to blogging and the idea of blogging buddy amazed me actually! Let me know.
We already are in a kind of way ! But nowI will add your blog to my list. π
Beeing Blog buddies really help to write and to not give up when it becomes hard to write. π
Hi Isabelle,
I’ve just found your blog and loved reading it. Your English is very good; goodness knows what my blog would be like if I tried to write it in French!
So,congratulations and please carry on writing. I will come back and visit often
Best wishes
Dee

Hope to read you soon !!
With Love
Hei Isabelle. Your name is beautiful. I like it π
By the way, we have a similarity here. We both want to improve our English writing. But the difference is I don’t talk English everyday. π¦ That’s pitiful.
I don’t have many friends who can talk English fluently. So, it’s kinda hard for me to practice speaking in English.
Let’s be blog buddy. How’s that?
Hello Mia !!
I think your blog is really nice !! Keep it up like this !! π I have English friend but not enough time to see them and to speak ! Damned that’s frustrating. LOL
I will come to visit your blog as soon as I can ! π Welcome in the blog buddy community ! π
a good idea, to practice daily with wordpress π
Yes it is !! Unfortunately I can’t write every day but I’m trying as much as I can. π
You really have a great blog here, I just had started to make it yesterday lol, so there isn’t really much to see, but I’m still developing it, hopefully It will be big later on ;D
Well, I can just say good luck, and don’t forget to come and drop by my blog some times π
And, like some of the comments up there, I’m also still learning my english ^^. I’m from Indonesia, quite a (very) far continent from europe lol.
Hello !! Thanks for your comment !! I will go to see your blog as soon that I will finish to reply to my comments !! π
That’s great to write in English too !! Specially that your language is so different than English or French ! Congrats and keep going on this way !!
Thank you Isabelle (right?)!
It really is quite fun writing in a non-common language (Although I make a bunch of mistakes, xixi).
And thanks for lending your time, just to reply my comment π Nice to meet you π
And, Let’s be Blog Buddies π
So let’s be it! π
This is the Link

I will publish a post about this reward too !! Thanks again !! π
blogging to improve your English is a brilliant idea. i love it and you are a natural !!!
Thank you ! π I’m trying to stay natural, it’s a easy for to write this way than to trying to write as a book…. π
Isabelle, thank you for finding my blog and for commenting on it. I hear you about FP. Your so write blogging is so much more then just being FP. I love to write and it makes me happy and I. Think this. Is the idea to do what makes us happy and of course its wonderful to know that people relate to our writing and out thoughts r so keep on blooging and I will keep on reading your englishtoughts π
Thanks for your kind words too ! π I will keep an eye too on you blog, now I’ve found it, I will enjoy to read it as soon as I can too ! π
Gorgeous blog Isabelle!
Thank you so much. You’re blog is really great and lovely too ! I really like it. Now I have #75 stories to catch up ! π
I think we should make a group of poor english blogger
Lets keep writing in english as best as we can
β₯
That would be a great idea !
I’m sure it will help lot of people and keep us motivated too! π
Your blog is really good, I’m keeping it in my RSS feed !
Thanks for subscribing to my blog, I have returned the favor, and I will be following you, too! Hope you are having a fabulous day.
Thank you !!
I will keep an eye on your blog π
Have a good day too.
I love London. I love English.
If it makes you feel better, I think moving to London would be easier for you than it would be for me. I live in Israel.
I have a blog for similar reasons – improve my English!
English, English, English. β€
Well I don’t know if I will move to London soon or not… I’m not single now and I’m really happy with my love so we will see !! But London is still a place that I love so I will go back really soon !!
I will have a look on your blog too ! π
English is not my first language either and I think creative writing in a second language is much harder then speaking it. You are doing a fine job in writing a blog so you should have no problem communicating in it.
I would love to learn French though π
Welcome Beeya !
You are right, writing and speaking a language are completely different. I could manage easily to speak in English but when it comes to write it down the paper or the computer, I have to stop myself a moment to wonder how to put it in words.
I’m sure you could learn a little bit French one day ? That’s only a matter to find the good teacher who makes it easily to you ! π
Thanks for commenting !
Thank you for paying a visit to my little corner of blogger-ville.
As for your English, you seem to have a better handle on it than a more than a few of my “English speaking” friends. But then again, we Americans have perfected the art of butchering the English language. Read my blog from time to time and you’ll find I do more than my fair share of “butchering” π
I’ll try to let my camera speak for me.
Thanks for your comment !
I’m doing my best to improve my writing skills mostly because I perfectly know that I’m writing as I’m speaking, that’s not really the best way but that’s better than nothing right ? π
I will be glad to read your “butchering” American style of using the English language. π
You are welcome to come along for the ride. Let the “butchering” commence! π
