So I have a weird situation. My dad (birth dad) died today. I didn't get to know him until I was older (at 12 y/o actually). It's a sad day. He wasn't "that" old. My "dad" (who adopted me at the age of two), is also quite old and is "near" the end. He's 85. Yes, two dads! Anyway...I will be a bit OUT of WORK for several days to honor my birth dad. I'm leaving on the 10th and won't be back until the 14th. So DDM and PIRF lessons might get a bit OUT OF SCHEDULE. I sincerely apologize for this. And I regrettably worry that this might happen again soon. I hope you will understand the weird situation I'm in. Don't get divorced. Stick it through. Respect and appreciation is more important than love. CS

It’s amazing !!!LOL THANKS👏👏👏 @Clive Burton

If you have an opportunity in real English environment like US, or Canada, how to improve your English? This is of course controlled English environment. More over, the majority of people there speak English, because it is their native language.
