I know you said you write on a personal / private blog of your own to improve but if you ever wanted another person to look things over and help you work through some of the trickier parts of learning the language I'd love to help out!

It would be nice, but I haven't cogitated to do this before. I write too much personal things, maybe it is boring for other people, moreover I do not know if this is a good idea, once I will be too much exposed. First I would need to check what I wrote.

[scoggs]

Well, I don't know what I have to offer to you in terms of a promise that I won't judge you or pry too deeply into your private life but I really have no good reason to do so. I will gladly share with you all that you want to know about me before we get started if you would like. I really just love helping people out, especially with technology. I started out working towards a career in education (with 12 years of experience) but changed over to programming and web development which is my current career. At some point I want to loop back around and teach some sort of technology discipline to come full circle with my original intentions.

Cogitated is a really obscure word in (modern) English.

Try "considered" or "thought about".

[edpichler]

Oh, this is the problem when you do not have the vocabulary and use Google Translate to help.

"Cogitated" is very similar with the Portuguese translation "Cogitado", broadly used. And on Google Translate it appears as the first option.

I think that literature and travel are the keys to improve on this.
