Hi!

What do you think about the topic? I have tried to find someone to exchange messages with several times here, and with other resources too, but, unfortunately, with no luck. Sometimes they answered to me that they have no possibilities to answer so many requests to them from those who want to study English, sometimes my suggestions were left unanswered. I am a bit discouraged.

Thanks for your opinions.

Hi, community!

How do you think, what is the right moment to start working on your accent? It may be American English, "BBC English", Cockney or Australian accent.

Perhaps it is when you are only a beginner, or when you are fluent speaker?

What is your opinion?

Yesterday I was a bit confused with that choice.

Let's say we are on a dating website, on its page where where all users which have seen our profile are displayed.

Which heading could have this page: "Who viewed my profile?" or "Who has viewed my profile?" and why?

I know, there could be other headings like "My profile views", but if we should choose one of two I have mentioned.

Thanks in advance.

Being here, on Italki for about 2 weeks, I have discovered that it does not work as I expected. What I wanted? I wanted to find Russian-English exchange partners. What have I done to grab someone's attention? I have filled up my page with information about me and what I looking for, I have taken part in discussions, I sent friends invitations and messages to the native English speakers who learn Russian and looking for a Russian-speaking partner.

No one of English speakers has answered or written personally to me. Nobody.

I am confused. Maybe I do something wrong? I am nearly ready to give up.

What is your experience?

And why?

I prefer British one. For me, a Russian native speaker, it sounds much clearer. Even with reduced "Rs" I can understand much more while I'm listening something or watching videos. Sometimes, British English sounds like "posh" (haha), but, anyway I like it.

How about you?

I noticed that there are phrases in English (as well as in other languages) that seem grammatically correct, but hard to say.

For example "The politicians are arguing". It seems correct Present Continuous tense. But listen ,it's not easy to pronounce ""are ar...", right?

Maybe native speakers would say "The politicians argue"?

Please, do comment. Maybe English have any rules about it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, friends!

Today I have been to a ski resort named "Rosa Khutor" near Sochi, Russia. In our place we nearly have no show at winter, because it's located at a subtropical climate, but mountains are very snowy. I was extremely happy to be there and want to share this mood with you.

Take a look at the panorama that I made for you:

What about you? Where have you been today?

My friends, I want to share a view from my window in Sochi, Russia. The picture was taken in summer, but anyway I hope it will be interesting for you.

Unfortunately here is no way to share pictures, so I have it uploaded onto Google Drive.

Here it is the link you can copy/paste and see:

I, and others, I believe, will be happy to see what you see from your window. No matter how good is the view: sea, road or train staion. It's simply interesting how people live in their countries.

C'mon, share your views! )

H! people!

If it is, which songs would you recommend to sing for?
