The first two weeks of blogging

My first two weeks of blogging have been very interesting to me. Initially, I was a little worried because blogging was completely new for me. But I think that I managed it quite good so far. Honestly, the Technorati website almost made me go crazy! There's such a huge amount of information that I hardly knew where to start. However, I think blogging is a funny way of comunicating with people you don't even know but who have the same interests and it's useful at the same time. That's what makes blogs so special. As far as the improvement in language skills is concerned, I think blogs can help a lot. I remember the scientific blog which one girl of my group suggested and, I must say that I immediately thought that it would improve my English if I read those kind of blogs more often. Of course, when we are commenting on our members' posts' we should pay attention to grammar mistakes or false friends and so on. None of us is a native speaker and therefore, we all still make mistakes. So we have to make sure not to adapt other people's mistakes...
I really enjoyed creating my own blog. There's nothing really special about my blog but, I'm kind of proud of it anyway. Maybe that's because two weeks ago I hardly knew anything about the blogsphere and now, I have one on my own.
I see you soon. Caroline

May I introduce myself.........




What you can see in this picture is 'Potsdamer Platz' in Berlin. I chose this picture because I am from Berlin and i really just love it! Whenever I go home to visit my family I go to this place because it represents the "new" Berlin. It's architecture is fantastic as you can see in the picture. Last time I went to Berlin I met a friend of mine at Potsdamer Platz...we wanted to go shopping. But then we found out there would be Matt Damon to present his new movie right there at Potsdamer Platz. There was a red carpet and lots of people. In fact, I was so lucky to see him..he was quite close to me actually! So you never know what an afternoon in this place can get you to...and that's why I love Berlin so much.


See you soon.... Caroline
