Can I teach her? Hey, how you all doing? I've been learning English for approximately 7 years and I think I am now an advanced English speaker. I still have a lot of things to learn. I do a major of Civil Engineering in a university and I don't have a job and I am needing money. Last week a friend of mine asked me to teach her English, she saw me speaking with another guy and watching Friends without subtitles. She insisted that I could teach her English and that she wants to speak just like I do. I am not sure if I can do this and if it's the right thing to do. I am really needing money but I don't want to do one thing that I am not completely sure. I think I am needing some piece of advice. What do you think I should do? Thank you so much

Which one is correct? My 100-year-old grandfather can still stand. My 100-year-old grandfather still can stand.

SHE ASKED ME TO TEACH HER When I started learning English seven years ago it was amazing because I was very excited to able to speak a different language. I studied everything I could all at once. I met some people from the United States that were on my city and I felt really happy because I could communicate with them. And I was getting better every day. When achieved an advanced level of English I could understand almost everything in casual conversations and in intermediate texts. But then, I think I got a little bit lost on where to go. An advanced learner of any language is supposed to see more of cultural things than any other student, when you get to this level you mastered almost one hundred per cent of the most common words used in common situations. Last week I was watching Friends and a friend of mine was impressed that I could understand what they were saying. She was amazed when I talked in English with a teacher from university a month ago. And then she came to me asking(insisting, actually) that I could teach English to her. At first, I didn’t give too much of attention but she came again telling me that she wants very much to learn English. I told her that my English is not perfect and that I still have a lot of things to learn and that I might not be capable to teach you properly. I am really needing some money but I can’t do something I’m not one completely sure. She told me that I can speak English very good and that she wants herself to speak just like I do. What do you think I should do, my friends?

HOW I TRIED TO LEARN ENGLISH THIS FULL TEXT IS ON THE PICTURE BECAUSE THERE'S A LIMIT OF CHARACTERS IN A NOTEBOOK ENTRY. SORRY :-) The first step I took on my English journey was to learn all the grammar I could. One day I got home and I decided to gather all the resources I got on my shelves, I searched for all the dictionaries and books I had. I set a plan of learning all the grammar tenses and conditionals of the English language. I was super exited and I was enjoining to be learning all of that stuff. However when I finished studying the last conditional I realized that I wasn’t fluent yet. And why was that? I didn’t had internet in my home therefore I had to go to an Internet cafe next to my home to look for texts and audios however I was frustrated because I didn’t get the fluency I wanted to when I started studying. But then I figured out that learning a language is not only about its grammar, and this represented a light on my dark brain at that time. A language can be sad as a code meant to be understood by two or more people, and this code brings all the cultural baggage of the person that is speaking. When someone is learning a new language he/she is not only learning words and tenses, he/she is also getting in contact with new outlooks and new realities. When my parents hired an internet plan things got a lot easier. There are a lot of information, millions of websites, millions of videos on YouTube. And this is a very good thing and I started to use them to improve my English. But the problem was that with so much of information at the same time I got lost on where I was, on where to start and where to go. I learned a lot of new things, I increased my vocabulary so much, I improved my listening skills and now I can understand almost everything on casual conversations, and despite not being perfect I think I am not that bad at grammar. The internet helped me to get better in a whole bunch of things but It was just a small part of things of I got saw. It looks like I have some kind of anxiety with a mess of matters that I can’t organize them. And eventually I still don’t seem to get my fluency.

Does anyone want to practice English with me? Hi I am learning English, my level is B1.

Discussing Trends in English (Practice) Today I read an article here on Italki about Trending written by Jack Davidson and that I appreciated a lot and I think I learned how to talk about trending topics in Enlgish which I suppose it to be a very important thing to know. In the end he gave us a practice, a list of topics where we could invent sentences using the knolegde he shared with us. Here are some of these sentenses and I want to know if they sound natural and good. I didin't worried about the actual accuracy of the facts, so some of these information are not real. 1. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of recreational swimmers over the past 10 year in Mexico City. 2. The number of E-sport athletes has risen sharply over the last year. 3. The search for automotive sports has fallen down slightly in São Paulo since 1996. 4. Chess players are increasing steadily all around the world. 5. The number of orders for food in Ifood increased dramatically in 2017. 6. The consumption of vegan food is increasing steadily in New York City. 7. Eating habits have gotten better slightly in all American states according to The Guardian. 8. The number of people defaulting on federal student loans is climbing 9. The number of people defaulting on credit card has gone down slightly after the latest actions of the government to decrease interest rate. 10. The purchase of smart phones has risen sharply in Tokyo. 11. Netflix subscriptions decreased slightly in 2017 probably because of piracy. 12. Online movie streaming has increased steadily in America for the last five years. 13. The number of women in the videos game industry has got up steadily. 14.

Beach Voleyball At this time I am in vocation of my university and unlike most part of the people I am not travelling. Then I have decided to make a series of notebook registers about things I do in my days in order to improve my English writing. Today I called my friends to play Beach Voleyball in the main park of my city. Voleyball is a very popular sport in my country, probably because we have a really good national team, the best in world. The park is very far from my home, then a friend of mine came to my home and took me with his car. The traffic wasn't good but we got there in time. The park is really beautiful, it's very big, located in the east part of my city, edging the Poty River.The name of the park has been set on behalf of the river, Potycabana Park. There are three beach voleyball courts in there and there is the place where people can get together to have fun and meet his friends to play. I really like my friends, they are really good people, I feel good and confortable when I am with them and that's wonderful. We played for two hours and my team won most part of the matches we played. Then when it was finished we walked in the park and snacked a traditional icecream of my state called Dindin.

Wonder Woman Today I have watched the Wonder Woman movie in my house. It's a really good movie I really liked it. I watched it entirely in English and I am very proud of myself because I could understand it completely.The movie is 2 hours long and some characters have got different accents but I could understant well. I think this is important because it proves I am getting better, and all the effort and struggle has worth it. I am gonna try to talk a little about the movie to practice my writting, which is not that good. With NO SPOILERS The movie tells the history of a woman that belongs to a specie of female beings, called Amazons, created by Zeus to destroy the God of War Ares. The Amazons live in a private Island where they can live well and train. There is an invisible dome that kind of protects the island but one day one man that was escaping the war get to get in and than he meets Diana, the wonder woman.
