Learning Experiment

About this original series

I'm curious to know, how will my spelling advance, if I frequently (once or twice a day) read some textual material again and again. The text I read is from my gymnasium-book English United (courses 7 - 8). I think it would be fair to forward you to the publisher's website, so here it is: http://eu.tammi.fi. My name is Marko Seppänen and I live in Lappeenranta, Finland.
