Any musicians there? Hello everyone! Are there any musicians on this service learning English? If you're a jazz, rock/metal or a classical musician, text me, it would be nice to communicate and practice English (and discuss some musical stuff, of course).

Looking for an English speaking partner Hey does there anybody want to practice English talking to me via chatting or Videocalls? If someone learns Russian language, I'd be hapoy to help with it in return

I've never been a real looser but my immune system seems to tell me otherwise Almost the half of last year I spent constantly falling ill. It began straightly a year ago, in the end of March I got sick and missed my gig. Roughly a month later, when I was going to go to another country for a week, it happened again and I went there sick. Once I came back home and got well — what do you think? — I fell ill again. And then month later again. A month passed — and again.

I nearly got sick one more time in August but gratefully I managed preventing illness. Then I got cold in September.

All those occasions made me realize I had really poor immune sistem and that couldn't help but bother me.

Perhaps regular meditation practice, perhaps physical excercises, maybe both let me stay pretty healthy for tge next several months. But now, in the end of March, I got cold and missed my gig again!

On the one hand, it may seem ironically and quite funny, but on the other hand, that can't help starting worrying me.

What do you think about it? Have you ever had something like that? What do you usually do to maintain your immune system?

My firts note on Italki, or Searching for exciting So this is my first note on Italki. Despite the fact I registered here in 2016, only few days ago I finally got round to start using this network. So I’m absolutely new to it and now I decided to make my first post on the blog.

I started to write it and I realized that I had virtually nothing to tell about: nowadays my lifestyle is quite monotonous, like studying, coming home, reading books, listening to music, some other stuff and again. So I began to look for a subject that would be interesting to discuss and I found literally nothing, and I remembered those people who always manage writing exciting texts and talking about probably the most ordinary and boring things as if they were extremely fascinating. They can describe it in such enthralling ways so they often turn out to be really talented writers or other people whose performance becomes related to art. And that’s because they really can find something interesting in those things.

So I came to a conclusion that it’s not things around us that make sense but our perspective and relationship to them. That’s what imagination and fantasy are based on, that’s what thinking flexibility greatly relies on. And I understood how crucial it is to be able to look at familiar things from different points of view. So if you feel you’re stuck in a routine boredom of ordinary things that surround you just turn off your usual mode of thinking and try to see it with another perspective — to find exciting in boring.
