Erki is on a distinguished road

1. I had learned German at school from ages 8 to 18, I had even a few teachers from Germany, and I was never good at it. I even had to act in a play some years ago and I didn't understand at all what I was talking about there on the stage. My quiet voice didn't really help either.

2. However, if the play was in English language, I would go and act anyday. Or maybe not so very anyday - my English abilities largely depend on how I feel - I guess I speak English intuitively then. I only know very few grammatical rules and the bulk of my English has been learned via forums. When I first joined my first internet forum("first" - didn't that sound nerdy?), my English was only barely better than my German, these days the difference is quite visible. Audible too, but not to very big extent as I rarely get an opportunity to speak in English. But on a good day...

3. I like extreme/dynamic sports. Especially motor racing. But also I'd like to try downhill skiing, water skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, hang gliding... probably missed something too. And I don't like football(soccer), nor do I like cricket.

(Bonus). This is one of my longest ever forum posts. Please enjoy it, it's all for you.
