I'm glad to read that things are going really well for you. It's a blessing to be able to leave this country and move forward, and as we say, to reborn.
I owe my English to my mom; for 10 years, she paid for a tutor to teach me, and I suppose that despite the financial effort it represented, we are now seeing the fruits of that investment. Although it’s always difficult to maintain it in a country where just a few wants to learn it 😥
