Mei Teng – I saw your pics of Hainan island – nice! I’ll need to keep my ears peeled for the Hainanese dialect as I’ve never heard it spoken before. Then again, I don’t know what it sounds like! I only know that I like Hainanese chicken rice LOL

Isuann – It’s nice to hear from a reader You sure speak a lot of languages!!! I wanted to take up French but then the classes were full, which was why I went for German. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the German teacher was really fun and he made the entire experience an enjoyable one for us.

I know what you mean about talking with native speakers – it’s great when they understand what you’re saying, doesn’t it?

Hi, I enjoy this blog and I’m On A Bookathon a lot. I also love languages and can speak English, Malay, Mandarin, French, Hokkien, and basic Cantonese & Spanish.

I find that knowing more languages makes one more aware or particular about grammatical and cultural nuances. It’s extremely rewarding when a native speaker praises your prowess and effort!!

vinci – Have you checked out http://eHomemakers.net? I worked on a project with them previously and learnt that they provide teleworking opportunities for people with physical disabilities.

Please confirm with them but I think you may need to:
a) become a member of eHomemakers,
b) fill up a skillset form and
c) be able to commit your time on a daily basis.

From my experience, working from home is not easy and is much, much more demanding than working from an office. Be prepared for an uphill climb, ok?

All the best to you!
