Finding a subject for a writing.
Learning a second language by your own and facing to a writing could be challenging. Even more when you don´t find a good subject to talk about.
So, I have came up with the idea of the usage of all new vocabulary that have been learnt in one learning session. The subject becomes a secondary matter, the most important thing is to be able to use all those new words.
As far as I can tell, there is an indisputable fact that new words which have been memorized may fall into oblivion unless a continuous usage of them. This is the best way to keep your second language updated.
There is a theory which claims that forgotten words don´t disappear completely from our brains. We keep them somewhere, in the darkness of our memory. When we read or hear those words, it´s very likely to remember the meaning of them. So, there is no excuse to try to memorize new words, even if you try once.

Social networks
It seems to be hip to have all kind of social networks and feel that we are conected receiving information 24 x 7, even though if these are used just to show off and share with others photos of each insignificant moment of our ordinary lifes, such as “today´s meal”, “my new hair cut”, “my boring face studying for an exam”, etc.
This no sense drove me to cancel all my social accounts to stop being part of what I considered, time-waster networks.
No sooner had I refused to use them than I discovered Italki, which it made me changed my opinion towards social networks, at least not to judge equally all of them. Italki shows the educational potencial of networks, somenthing that sincerely I didn´t belive in.
In my city it is really hard to find english native speakers to practise speaking skills, and when you find someone don´t panic for the budget. They know they are in demand and they try to take advantage of it, as I would do too.
But for the first time, internet put me in contact with native speakers who are interested in learning my language too. A simple, efficient, productive and cheap way to find a solution and as if this were not enough, it encourages community work, what else could I ask?
By the way...I dont work for Italki ;-)
