I love Spanish and it's diversity.I don't want to just master the language, but better understand hispanohablantes, their cultures, traditions, and the miniscule variations in their use of the language. I live in California and hope to give you guys a hand learning English and a bit about American culture :) send me a message and we can do a 50/50 language exchange on skype! Animo!

Gracias por tu comentario! Me alegra que te haya sido útil nuestra charla, y que te hayas sentido cómoda. Por si te interesa leer un poco de noticias de Argentina, aquí te dejo unos links: http://www.pagina12.com.ar/ http://www.clarin.com/ Son dos diarios muy diferentes entre sí, con distinta opinión. Tú elijes cual te gusta más! Un saludo y hasta pronto!

    A description of my typical day in my dream job

    I get up at 9:00 and have breakfast. I'm on an island and I have to do an inventory of the wildlife.
    I grab my things and I head out. I'm walking all morning watching many types of animals, birds, etc. I take photos and write some notes. Later I go to have a lunch. In the afternoon I go out again but take a boat to repeat the same observations on the sea. I watch the wildlife of the sea to make a study. I also take samples of the water and a lot of other things to be analyzed.

     

    Wow impresionante! :) espero que consigas un trabajo asi pronto!

    The Last Year of my Career

    (Esto implica que vas a cambiar carerras...que no vas a seguir siendo una arquitecta. Es esto lo que quieres expresar? Te pregunto porque no es una frase muy común en inglés. Escucho más "my last year working in this profession - time for a change of careers!" o si estás a punto de terminar tus estudios y graduarte "my last year in college - time to graduate and find a job")

     

    This is my last year of my career. I study architecture and I love it... but it hasn't been easy for me. I work too much and I have a stressful situation (o puedes decir "I'm in a stressful situation). I need to finish my grade exam and find work now. 

    XD u.u :)

     

    qué tengas suerte con todo :) ánimo con tu examen

    How can I improve my English?

    Well... this might sound quite repetitive but I am a guy from Spain looking to improve his English... Actually I've been living in the UK for some months now, and it gave me a big push toward this goal that I'm triying to achieve, but it is not enough... Nowadays in our society people are really competitive and if you are trying to get a job, there are going to be thounsends of people applying for it...

    I do not want to check this text out, cause I am pretty sure I got a lot of wrong words and sentences. :P

     

    You write very well and you should be proud of yourself! Moving to another country to dedicate yourself to learning a language is admirable...and not easy! Give it time! :) Saludos desde California!

    Subjuntivo del pasado Siempre me confusa cuando debo usar el subjuntivo del pasado o no... Podría alguien explicarmelo? Esto es lo que intenté escribir: A las 3:30 tuve una entrevista planeada con Raymond de Philos, pero cuando llegué, ya estaba hablando con su agente de libertad vigilada y tuve que esperar por media hora en su patio trasero antes de que pudiera hablarle. Quedé allí por dos horas cuando normalmente requiere solo viente minutos para cumplir una entrevista con mis clientes. Aunque no logré conseguir cualquier información nueva de Raymond, por lo menos la cita mató a mi tarde (que usaría para parecer que estara ocupada con trabajo cuando actualmente no tuviera nada que hacer). Los lunes siempre son asi: demasiados lentos y llenos de complicaciones.

    I would like to find people who can teach me English and I will teach them Spanish

    Hello, I´m starting in this social network right now. I would like to find people who can teach me English. I can teach Spanish. I would like to chat with other people through Skype or something similar. I think that this will be fun and very useful.

     

    Bienvenidos a italki!

    Ok so this phrase is grammatically correct but you won't ever hear someone say it. English speakers would rather say something along the lines of: I'm new to this social network OR I;m using this social network for the first time OR I'm just starting to use this social network :) minor details haha

    HOW TO CLEAN YOUR EARS

    There's a home remedy that my grandmother told me and I want to share it with you:

    If you have ear wax, there is an easy way to clean your ears. You need warm water and hydrogen peroxide, mixing the two liquids in equal amounts. Put your right ear close to your right shoulder, drop a few drops of liquid in your left ear. Wait 5 minutes and turn your head to the left and do the same with the other ear.

    It is important to make sure that the water temperature is not too hot because it would to hurt the ears.

    Do it once a month.

     

    Great job! You have a good command of the language :)

    Today

    Hello. I have been all the in my house I have been stuck inside all day. I am doing some homework that's due to next Wednesday. What I have to do is to write an outline for a persuasive essay. I am (I'm) going to write about the negative effects that fast food chain restaurants have on society. I think they are (they're) quite bad for society. I am (I'm) also watching some videos about dollarization because my partner and I have to do a persuasive speech. I have to confess that I am (I'm) having trouble preparing the opening or hook of the speech. So, if you have any suggestions, I will give you a candy. LOL I can't, but I would if I could.

     

    ahah eres gracioso :) bien hecho y suerte con tu ensayo/discurso. Segura que todo sera un exito!

    Hay un libro en ingles que habla del mismo tema que se llama Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal por Eric Schlosser si te interesa.

    Tambien puedes enviarme un mensaje si tienes dudas o quieres ayuda con algo! Saludos!


    Nota: me di cuenta que en tus entradas casi no usas las contracciones. Te recomiendo que las usen. Es mas comun y natural decir "I'm" en vez de "I am" o "They're" en vez de "they are". Todo el mundo las dicen y suena menos formal!

    Someone to talk to :)

    I like the English language and I think it is time to start speaking, because I understand when I read but when I try to talk, I don't know what to say or how can say it. I really need to practice with an American person to learn about the American culture and slang too. I promise I´m a nice person :)

     

    Bien hecho! Soy Nikki de California y estoy aprendiendo español. Tal vez podamos practicar/intercambiar nuestros idiomas por skype o algo parecido! Saludos y suerte! :)
