Why the name, “English Babbling”?

I realized that the name of this site may seem odd. So I thought an explanation might be helpful.

I can be a very talkative person, most of the time, only to myself. Since, English is the only language I know my babbling, or much talking, is in English. That is where I got the idea for the name of this site, “English Babbling.”

The idea and its name, has been kind of percolating in my noggin for awhile. Most people know me as being shy. Some people know me somewhere between shy and friendly (I hope). A few (a very few) know me as really talkative, so to them I have nicknamed myself as “Babbling Brook” or Brook for short.

I have a lot of ideas and opinions, so I sometimes I talk and talk and talk…. Most of the time I just talk to myself, while I am getting ready for my day. Sometimes I am so absorbed into my thoughts that when I leave my apartment, I catch myself whispering. This is really embarrassing, if my neighbors are nearby.

I have made dear friends whose second language is English and I enjoy our discussions of sharing culture, country, and language. I admire my friends, who are learning English. To those friends learning a second language, I say “Kudos!" Many Americans only know one language, so someone who is knows two, is really admirable to me.

Through these friendships, I got the idea of making a site for those studying English.

I would like to share my language, culture and beliefs on this site through written text and hopefully audio (if I can figure out how that part works).

If you would like to join in. I would love to have you be a part of my site. I would like for this site to be interactive, so if you are interested, email me with your ideas, your interests, and topics that we could discuss on this site.

As of this writing, I realize that my comments have been brief. This is due to recent time limits.

My reason for sharing pictures from my traveling, is that it corresponds to topics that I would like to share more on this site. Right now, it hasn’t really developed into that yet, but if you are interested keep watching….
