Just to introduce myself and to explain why I'm here:
I am Medic-100 and as you can guess I am a medicin student.
Next semester will be my 5th (of unfortunately 12) and I think about how I could improve my englishskills.
I'm very interested in science and I'm member in a scientific group at my university, soon I will publish my first paper

And thats the way I came back to English - I hated it at school and it was one of my subjects with "bad" grades.
Its not that I don't like the language but I didn't like the way we had to learn it.
So in the next years I have to publish in English and... yes of course the postdocs will help but I want to improve it, because I have to give some talks (or lectures) in English. In semester 10 I want to go to the USA for 3 month because one day I want to do my research in the United States.
I'm a little bit frightened because in this three month (at semester 10) I have to understand all the patients not to hurt them inadvertently because I misunderstood them or my teachers.
I hope that I can exercise here (and of course in my "real life") and that I read this text in a few month or years and laugh about how I stammered and babbled previously.
See you soon in some threads!
