Talking with an American

I started practicing more English at home, checking the links that the teacher upload to the web page is really helping me. Singing songs, doing practices and also watching movies helps a lot. One of this days I was in Poás and an American women stopped me and ask me for a direction, she believed that I was American only because I am a little blonde. I started talking with she and in the end I could give her the direction in the correct way, also she congrats me saying that my English was so good and I was impressed because a part of my studies in high school and now a days in the University I had never study English more than that.
