3,711 PointsHello, my name is Liliana, I live in the USA, I joined TeamTreeHouse 2 weeks ago.
I like the way team tree house teach, and I like coding so far, I really want to learn and be good but I feel at a disadvantage if I apply for a job because my English is not perfect, is my second language. Do you think that matter? I understand pretty much everything and I am fluent.

Maybe you should not see the "my English is not perfect, is my second language." as a disadvantage, because knowing multiple languages is a valuable skill (my opinion) + you can always improve your english :-)
