Practice Hello. I am new here in italki. I am not used to converse in English that's why I am here. My grammar sometimes sucks, I know right, that's why I want to learn. I am currently residing in a province where people are not fond of speaking English and if you do, they will say "She has a lot of airs" or being maarte in tagalog or Filipino. That's the reason why I am not confident in speaking in English or having a conversation with someone using English as our medium. If you want to speak with me and learn with me or teach me, I'd be happy to talk with you. But, please no malicious, rude and indecent message or intentions . Just a friendly talk to practice. Thank you and please correct my wrong grammars here if any. I'll appreciate that. God bless! :)

Hello. I am new here in italki.

I'm not used to comunicate in English language. I want to be more confident in speaking English. My grammar sometimes sucks that's why i want to learn by practicing myself talking to someone who used to speak English too.

 

I'm currently living in Philippine province who tend to use Tagalog language most often times and when i'm trying to speak in English they tend to talk back and think that i'm too arrogant.

I want to find italki partner who can teach me for my concern. This is also preparation for me in the future. I'd be happy if someone will entertain me. I expect that all italki user are professional. :) 


Thank you and God bless! :)

Hello. I am new here in italki.

I am not used to converseing in English so that's why I am here. My grammar sometimes sucks, (I know right)<-unnecessary that's why I want to learn.

I am currently residing in a province where people are not fond of speaking English, and if you do, they will say "She has a lot of airs" or being "maarte" in tagalog or Filipino. That's the reason why I am not confident in speaking in English or having a conversation with someone using English as oura medium.

If you want to speak with me and learn with me or teach me, I'd be happy to talk with you. But, please no do not send malicious, rude, and indecent, messages or contact me if you harbour such intentions . Just a friendly talk to practice.

Thank you and please correct my wrong grammars here if any. I'll appreciate that.

God bless! :)

 

"She has a lot of airs" or being "maarte" in tagalog or Filipino. There is no direct translation for maarte in english it seems. Its probably somewhere between artsy, flirty, vain, girly. "airs" did you mean she has a lot of air? Its sort of right but you use it more like "she has an air about her" - used to discribe a strong/mysterious/confident/malicious presence depending on the context.
