As some of you might know, I am one of the few individuals who decided to dedicate their lives to teaching the next generations in mastering the secret arts of Mathematics and the English language. For the past three years I have been studying at the University of Bremen, trying to take my skills to a somewhat acceptable level and so far it has worked out quite well. However, currently I am at the end of my 6th semester, which basically means that it's time to work on my BA-Thesis in my major, which happens to be English-Speaking Cultures.

So far, it has gone pretty well. I was able to find a topic and to do the necessary research for my endeavors. My topic will be the adaptation of classical European fairy tales into animated Disney feature films and in regards to the substance of my plans for this work I feel more or less confident. However, the problem is that I am not always sure when it comes to appropriate register and formulation in a scientific assignment and since this is more or less my final paper in English, I want to make the most of it.

It's not that I don't trust in my skills or that I had general problems with writing seminar papers or similar assignments so far, but this work will constitute the most significant part of my final grade and to cut a long story short I am looking for one or more native speakers who can help me to revise the sloppy parts and to find the right words/appropriate formulations. You don't need to be an expert on Disney or have an academic background (but damn, that would be even better). Basically all you would have to do is pointing out weird or ambiguous formulations and let me know when certain parts don't make sense to you/need further explanation. I still have about 50 days to finish this paper and so far all that's done are 2 pages of introduction and an abstract. This means that the whole thing can be revised bit by bit and with next to no time pressure, presumably via Skype.

What's in for you? Uhm... well, lessee... my eternal gratitude! Maybe even a beer at my place if you should ever come to Germany and visit Bremen. Soye, anyone care to help out?

I'm gonna be pretty busy with stuff myself, but I would be happy to help revise your work. Also, if there's something that I think there might be a problem with English comprehension wise or w/e and i'm not entirely sure about it myself, my friend Lance who lives with me is an English major i'm sure he could help point out or identify any problems if necessary. ^-^
