Please practice English and make progress together

I've receivd a few e-mails from some of my readers. I thank you all for your kind attention and warm and friendly remarks.  I am really flattered.

However,  I hate to say this,  but I have to remind you of my intention that  I prefer exchanging with you either in English or French.  Please don't make any mistake here:  the reason is not that I prefer foreign languages to our mother tongue, the reason is that I don;t have many options. I am following my sophomore university studying both in French and English. As you may now,  Geneva is a French-speaking metropolis. And the  main teaching language is French in my university.  I am learning English by myself.  I need to make use of every opportunity to practice and improve my English. Otherwise, I will always have to say with a red face:  I beg you pardon?  Excuse me, my English is poor.

In the past, I used to say those above sentences. And I hate to do it.
Please practice English together and make progress together.
