I have a suggestion and hoe p that I express it well enough to be understood. You say that you have time away form school coming up, and that you are n regluar contact with english teachers. Have you thought about perhaps working up an agreement with your parents tolet you continue studying english during your vacation and hire one of the english teachers dring that time? (You could even do chores to earn this privilege if that is desired by your folks.) Then to learn the language better you could spend the entire time translating chapters of Kim;s book and having the teacher check them to help you make needed corrections. This oculd alternatively be done as an after-class extra credit project. Once you get enough material with whichyouand your teacher are happy you cld use that in an approach to the publisher. The time will pass anyway so you don't need to rush this. [Posted in FML issue 3456]
