Friend/follower/language partner on Italki Hi there! I was wondering what's the difference between to be a friend and a follower/following here on Italki. How does it work? And another question: what do you have to do to be language partner? Thank you and sorry if my questions sound stupid! :-P P.s. Maybe this is not the right place to put this question as it is not 'linguistic'... sorry again.

What's the English for "Diritto del Turismo"? Hi there! Does anybody know what's the English way to say "Diritto del Turismo"? It's a branch of law which is about the rules for tour operators, kinds of contract in the field of tourism, rights of tourists and more things... I need to write that I attended a seminar about "Touristic Right" (or what?) at the university. Thank you!!!

Sport and I I am not a sporty girl. When I was a teenager I played basketball but I am afraid I was not a good player. Then, in the years after, I started to do aerobic in a gym. It was funnier than basketball! In the years of university I stopped with aerobic classes because I was busy with my studies, but when I felt very stressed I went to the swimming pool in order to let off the tension and the anxiety. Now I feel I need to restart to do some sport, but I'm very lazy! Sometimes I go to take a fast walk along the seafront and I hope that soon I will be able to run. Currently I am not able to run more than 5-10 minutes. I am also very interested in yoga but in my town there are not yoga teachers. I attended a very short course of yoga some years ago when I was living in another town, so now sometimes I try to do some yoga alone with the help of a tutorial by youtube. I think sport and physical activity are very important for the health of both the body and the mind, so I will try to fight my lazyness and to spend some time every day doing exercises!

My experiences in London I've been in London three times until now. First time I was eighteen and I went to England with my sister for study English during three weeks in Summer. The school was close to Leeds but we also had the opportunity to visit other cities, among which London. It has been a beautiful experience but too short! I better experienced London the second time I went there for holiday with my ex boyfriend. We booked a room in a bed & breackfast near Regent's Park, it was Winter and it was very cold. London seemed to me amazing! I was fascinated with the Tate Modern, the National Gallery, St. Paul Cathedral, Westminister Abbey, Tower Bridge... and then the beautiful markets, my passion! My favourite was Brick Lane market, but also liked Portobello Road market and Covent Garden market. Last time I was in London was in 2007 and I went there alone for a month in Summer. I wanted to improve my English and, why not, have fun! I rented a room in a flat and spent three hours every day studing in a language school. This allowed me to know a lot of people and I always had a lot of funny things to do with my flatmates and friends from the school. That was the best part of this experience: people! Today I am still in contact with some of them and I am very happy for this. I have a beautiful memory of all the times in London and I hope to come back soon. Revisions would be very appreciated!

"Persons" vs "People" Which is the plural form of "person"? Which is the difference between "persons" and "people"? And when is better to use one form or the other? Thank you

Mi domingo (Estaria muy agradecida si alguien podria corregir esta nota. Gracias!) Como la mayoria de los domingos, hoy me despertè tarde. Desayunè con mi novio y nos comimos un croissant muy rico con un cafè. Despues controlè mi correo electronico y hablè por telefono con mi hermana. Nosotras solemos hablar mucho por telefono ya que no vivimos en la misma ciudad y queremos estar siempre al dia y saber lo que ocurre. Para la comida yo y mi novio fuimos a casa de mis padres y despues de haber comido estuvimos descansando en su terraza conversando y tomando el sol. Por la tarde hize algunas tareas en mi casa y luego salì con una amiga para un paseo y para tomar un cafè... Bueno, nosotros italianos amamos el cafè y efectivamente ese fue el tercer cafè del dia, considerando el otro que tomè despues de la comida con mis padres y mi novio. En la noche tuve una pequena cena con mi novio y despues miramos una pelicula en la tele antes de ir a dormir.

My sunday (I would like very pleased if somebody could correct this note. Thank you!) As usual on sundays, today I woke up late. I had breakfast with my boyfriend and we ate a delicious croissant with coffee. Then I checked my emails and spoke with my sister to the telephone. We use to speak a lot to the telephone because we don't live in the same city and we want to be always up to date and know how is going. For lunch me and my boyfriend went to my parents house and after lunch we rested in their terrace talking and taking the sun. In the afternoon I did some cleaning in my home and then went out with a friend for a walk and a coffee... Yes we the italians love coffee and actually that was my third coffee of the day considering the other one I took after lunch with my parents and boyfriend. In the evening I had a little dinner at home with my boyfriend and then we saw a movie on the tv before sleeping.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself I'm Carol from the south of Italy and I'm here for practice and improve my English.
