Re: English - The reason why it is so hard to learn

Yes, it is true: about 500,000 and it develops really fast, faster than the others. But this takes into account only the words in the dictionary, so it could be questionable. German is for example one of the languages, in where one word could be created by every individuals complettly new and the dictonary contains only 300,000, otherwise it is imposible to print every combination, they are too much. Practically German has much more than 300,000.

But the high number of words is not the reason for English to be so hard to learn, it is the variety of the language, not only the number of words. And the variaty is breathtaking: many words for the same phenomenom like (pullover, jumper, sweater) or (cover letter, covering letter, motivation letter) and much worst, idioms, high number of preposition in opposite to French, phrasal verbs etc. With other words: it is a bit of a challange. But the truth is: German is even worst and Japanese even a bigger challange, so enjoy it:-) At the moment I am learning French and I am happy: so easy:-)

Thank you for your comments.

I really get myself in trouble when deciding where to put commas because in portuguese we have different reasons to use them. And it also seem that i missed that preposition class...

I will review it and post it again, ok?

HELP! I wish feedback on my motivation letter

Hello all wonderful members!

I am lucky because I found this community by chance, it seems to be a great place!

I am writing a motivation letter for an organization offering a full-year scholarship at an U.S. top unversity. (The application also includes a resume a study plan and two letters of recomendation.) I would really appreciate if a native speaking person could read though my letter. I especially find it tricky with the prepositions and where to put the commas!

My outline for the letter is this:
1) Essential background, and short argumentaion
2) Why I am applying; my motivation, my study plan, how it connects to my studies
3) Why I, as a person, am the perfect represent for organization
4) Conclusion

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Sirs and Madams;

Here I am; an open-minded Swedish-speaking young Finnish woman. I am studying for a masterâs degree in Mathematics with a specialization in teacherâs training at the Faculty of Mathematics & Natural Sciences at the University ***. I always wanted to incorporate an international experience into my degree; however, the moment has not been right until now. Receiving one of the scholarship offered by the YY Organization would make it possible for me to participate in the degree program called the âJoint Masterâs Degree in Mathematics and Educationâ at the University ZZ. Courses in this program would definitely provide my degree with an individual profundity and to have been studying at one of the top U.S. universities is a notable experience for the future.

I am now studying for the fifth year, I have a strong academic background and my plan is to have completed all courses in the main and minor subjects by the end of this academic year. During the academic year 2006-2007 my intention is to take some additional advanced courses and write my masterâs thesis. I am contented with my choice of study field. I have worked full time as a teacherâs substitute for one semester and it was a very positive experience. Topics on mathematics education and how a young person develops his or her mathematical thinking are engaging me. In five years I picture myself working professionally with these issues, it is very likely that I am doing research. At the University ZZ I intend to participate in courses from the âJoint Masterâs Degree in Mathematics and Educationâ program. There are special courses focusing exactly on this special area of mine and simultaneously this program will give me the chance to interact with other like-minded students in intercontinental environment. Since I also would participate in the program representing the good Finnish reputation in mathematics, I am convinced that I could contribute to broaden their international point of view as well.

I describe myself as a social, positive and ambitious person. Furthermore my personality shows a big sense of responsibility and consideration. I easy adapt myself to new situations and I only regard it as multi-faceted experience to study and live at a big campus. I have been volunteering one year as a tutor for exchange students coming to Finland so I am quite familiar with what one might come across abroad. I enjoy meeting new people and get acquainted with other cultures. I particularly hope to befriend native speaking people in order to improve my English skills in a natural way. As link in the chain, this would also facilitate the work on my masterâs thesis, since I opt to write it in English. I am an active person with a lot of energy and a big passion for nature and outdoor sports so the region of Madison with its magnificent nature is an ideal place.

Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to your positive response.

Sincerely yours,

Emilia
