Thanks! Well, I can only repeat what was basically the meaning behind this post: people were kind to me when I started (after sixth grade), and while I wouldn't want to revisit my early writings in English, I've gotten better over time :) Man, I can't stress how important it is to encourage people!
And English writing's really helping me with school; I wanna study in English once I'm done with high school. But this wouldn't be happening with all the kind people in fandom.
Seriously, I never actually thought about it, but what thefourthvine said is SO TRUE, like, it's applied to me all my life and I didn't realize it and didn't give back as much as I could *shakes head* Well, still plenty of time to rectify that, I guess.
(And aww, don't say that! The most important thing is to go out there and use your second language. People did tease me in Canada--where I spent tenth grade; I've only been back for like four months--but they were kind about it, in a way, and gave me tips and pointers. You just have to dare to speak it, and as always: practice makes perfect :D)
