Hi, I am Cristina from Romania

[Cristinat]

Hello,
My name is Cristina, I am a new user on english-test.net and I would like to send a worm Hello to all the members.
I was born in Romania and I live in USA. Living in USA helped improve my English reading and my speach but my writting needs lots of help. When I need to write in English I am using my computer but when it comes to writing a letter my brain stops working. I make lots of mistakes and I get confused if I am writing the words correctly or not. Especialy the words that have double letters .
I love America and one of my responsabilites as a proud American it is to learn English as perfect as I can. Therfore I am thankful for finding this site and I hope in the months to come, to learn many new English words and to improve my writting.

P.S I will write without the help of Microsoft Word, so please forgive me for my grammar mistakes.

Cristina

Hi Cristina

Welcome to the gang! Where do you live in the US? Have you been there long? Tell us a little more about yourself.

Regarding your writing difficulties, I think doing lots of reading will help you with that quite a bit. Lots of native speakers have their share of problems with spelling, too. In fact, sometimes native speakers first write a word and then look at it again to see if it "looks right". And the main way they've gotten a good feeling for whether a word looks right or not is from reading --- from having seen a word in print many times. Of course, nowadays Word is a big help, too. But even Word won't find every mistake.

You did make a couple of spelling errors in your post, but overall your writing is very good.
