Hai Hai and the English language

How you can guess from the name of article, I'm gonna talk about my relationship with English and motivation of studying this language.
For me, English is like my native language. I'm not saying that I am good in English, ahaha no, I mean that it's something I need and use daily. Thanks to English I am able to learn another languages way more easily, I can read more books, I can watch movies without subtitles, and the most important thing - I can talk to my friends all over the world! Actually I cannot imagine my life without English.
To tell you truth, back then in my elementary years, English was my enemy. I remember in the third grade we had a very strict English teacher and  she was yelling at us a lot. I was so scared of her, I even stopped breathing when she was near. I guess my teacher made me hate English back then and that's why I didn't try enough to study. I had bad grades and I wouldn't even dream that one day I will sit and write blog in English language. Thanks to god, my mom wasn't too heartsick because of my English fails.
The time when I got the first hint of interest in English was when we moved and I changed school. Another irony was that I didn't like the new school. My old friends soon forgot about me and I had problems to fit into new collective. I had no one to talk to or hang out with. I spent all my free time in my room browsing internet and one time I found a blogging site, so I gave it a try.
It was only in English language so I was kinda lost at first. I discovered some bands and singers I really liked and soon I became a big multi-fandom fan. I wished I could at least understand what are my idols saying and that was my very first motivation to learn English. I started to research things about my new but also old interests, I made new friends with same interests as me on-line from overseas that helped me improve my English more and more by exchanging letters with me. I discovered many new things, my blogs started to gain followers and then I finally could break the language barrier between me and my friends. It took me a little bit over a year to be able to fluently communicate in English and another year to take English as something very natural and automatic for me. Maybe it seems like a long time, but in those two years I've learn much more than in five years studying English in school.
The biggest shock for me was first time I caught myself thinking in English! WOAH, I can't explain that feeling but when it happened, I felt like two me's were discussing about what did just happen:
'OMG WHA-'
'Hey, I heard it, what the actual fu-'
'I know!  Did we just...?'
'I guess... but how?'
Soon it started to happen more and more often that sometimes I was losing my track of thoughts and sometimes I accidentally said something in English while wanting to say it in Czech. Weird. It took me quite long time to figure out how to control it. No matter how hard I try, it happens even today, mainly when I'm translating something and have to quickly switch between languages.  I guess it's no big deal.
Today my English is quite good but I am not fully satisfied yet. There's always something to improve, so I'm trying to be better and better in time.

I guess I wouldn't be able to do anything without motivation. For me it's hard to get motivated, because I am a very lazy being with big lack of interests in most of things.
My biggest thank you belongs to my idols for inspiring me to work on myself and become a better person. Then I should give a thanking speech to all the precious little snowflakes around the world that were talking to me and helping me to break the language barrier so quickly. Of course - one big thank you and kiss to all my blogs that are always waiting for me to update them. Not lastly a thank you to my former teacher Mrs. Bilanská who believed in me and tried to teach me as much as possible and my current teacher Mr. Švanda who has to deal with my shit all the time and appreciates my efforts.

You can do anything, you just have to find a motivation that's strong enough to keep you going even during hard times.
Yo, see ya!
