This book was written for both non‑native and native speakers of English. If you're a native speaker, you'll get a clear look into what actually goes through the mind of someone learning English as a second language. Topics include some of the biggest challenges ESL students face, such as: How To Learn English Fast How To Sound Like a Native Speaker How To Improve Your Vocabulary I Can Read, Write, and Understand English, But I Can't Speak It You Speak Too Fast! My English is Poor Writing this book is one of the scariest decisions I've ever done. I did even ask myself, "Why are you doing this? Why do you have to spend so much time contributing your thoughts and words? Why do you have to spend days and sleepless nights and months crafting this book, improving it, editing it? Why?" Because I CARE! I can't help but F***ING care! I am seeing ESL students-from the richest to the least privileged-who have trouble with English, and they're getting worse. To help, I wonder if I could share a bit of my story.

Dear Diary, I met a handsome and oh so perfect man on my single honeymoon getaway (yes, single means alone). We spent days in Maui to explore each other's body... uhm.. I mean Maui's land. And when the time was up we went back to our life without having each other's contacts. It was like a stolen moment from heaven. But I met him again!! And guess what!! I'm going to make his fiancée's wedding dress! He deserves a kick or two on his balls!! Or... maybe not.

This is more of a personal experience and realises I have had. Either in relationships, out of relationships or within myself. There are things that have been told to me, and things that I had to tell myself to realise how blind I am or was towards certain things. These little things are what make us stronger. These little things are what make us weak. These little things are what makes our lives. Regardless, these little things make up a larger picture. This is my Wattpad diary, rants and cries that I haven't shouted out physically. But at least I can shout it out through media. So I welcome you audience, to the little things I have realised in my life that makes me overthink. ~ Authors Note: This isn't really a story if you couldn't tell. This is more on me finding out the difference between fantasy and reality. Again, I welcome you, to the little things I have realised in my life that makes me overthink. © 2016 - penguin_elly: All Rights Reserved

a book about how to read people a field guide to human behavior. Just a reminder that everybody has their own body language and that a signal for 'yes' in one culture may mean 'no' in another; a gesture for 'good-bye' in one culture can be interpreted as 'come here' in another. (This could also be used for character development for your fictional books too, but this is mostly on how to read people.) (Also, I apologize for the inconsistency in some of the chapters. I have a memory of a goldfish and too lazy to edit.) Highest ranks: #2 on Human behavior #4 on Body language #194 on Learning
