I wouldn't say i am any good at both reading or writing, so believe me you are not alone. See, i went to a Thai school my whole life so the best skill i have in the English language is my speaking skills as i would practiced with my father. I only started reading and writing more nowadays. I don't see my improvement accelerating but it is growing each day i keep on practicing. Oh !! "coffee" keeps me from not being retard in general !! it annoys me how often i have to go to the dentist and get my teeth whiten though. :) Keep your good diet up !! Looking forward to your next post
