Welcome

This is a new blogging experiment that I'm toying with. I believe that vocabulary is very important as it increases the versatility of our speech. In my own experience, when I increased my lexicon in one language, the other increased as well. Finally, when we are more capable of bringing our ideas to words, the more accurate our message will be.

On the personal side, I just want to increase my vocabulary, increase my verbal ability and practice my English. Use teh big wordz, duh!

As for the format, I don't know what will work, so it may change without notice. So we'll see.
