language created by themselves.

     My full name is Tomasz P. Szynalski, but you can call me Tom. I live in Poland. I started learning
English when I was six years old in primary school. I was always one of the best students in class. But
my English was still very bad.
     In 1993, I went to high school. It is the best high school in my city. A lot of classes are taught in
English. I took the advice of my English teacher. I bought a good Polish-English dictionary. I started to
study American pronunciation. I watched American TV and movies. So I was getting better and better at
understanding spoken English. I also learnt some words and phrases (短語(yǔ)) that I could use in my own
sentences. In class, I would like to talk to the American teacher. When I spoke, I used simple grammar
to avoid (避免) mistakes.
     During the summer vacation of 1994, I started reading books in English. But I realized I needed a
way to have a larger vocabulary. Then I began to use a computer program to learn English words. The
program was called Super Memo. Because of all the reading and Super Memo, my vocabulary was no
longer my weakness. Then I started writing e-mails and talk only in English with some of my friends.
     Today, English is my "second native language". When I speak, I sound very much like an American.
Sometimes even Americans can't tell the difference.
