English update I have seen big improvements with my english since I am studying every day. Before that, I felt that I had a "slow thinking" when I was trying to write something, and it was worst when I have to talk in english because I felt very nervous and even in panic. But now, after three months of practice english every day I feel more confortable and confident when I have to express my self writing or speaking. It is incredible and It feels amazing, I do not feel bilingual yet but I am really happy with my level and I realized that with hard work and constancy I can improve my english, I am very excited about that and I going to keep it up to master my english. Years before I felt that I have not the skills to learn languages but now I know that it just about practice and be motivated. I started to learn new languages (portuguese and russian) and I hope one day I can master them.

Jogo de futebol Colombia vs Chile Amanha Colombia vou jogar contra Chile, eu acho que va a ser um jogo muito duro. Chile é o campeao do America. Chile é uma selecao muito forte e o jogo é no Chile (mais duro). Eu acho que Colombia vou igualar amanha com Chile, talvez eu estou loco por achar isso. Amanha também joga Brazil contra Argentina, o clásico!!! Eu vou a assitir isso partido, porque vou estar muito emocionante.

Viajar Viajar gosto muito. É um prazer para meu porque eu acho que aprendo muito da vida (pessoas, cultura etc). Eu eis viajado pórem quero viajar mais (em meu país e mundo). Os proximo mes eu vou viajar em Colombia (meu pais), pórem quero conhecer Bolivia e Perú. O proximo ano vou conhecer-los.

Soccer qualifying round (Colombia) Well the first season has passed and many people in Colombia are worry about the performance of the soccer team (I am not). Almost every time that there is a Colombia soccer game we gather at my grandmother´s house. My uncles, cousins, brothers everyone is in the house ready for the game. Colombia played two games, the first one was against Perú. It was a very close game because Perú is a good team but finally Colombia won 2-0. I think that Colombia team did not play well and the score was too big and It was not fair (It is my humble opinion). The second game was against Uruguay. Before the game I was very thoughtful and I thought that Colombia would lose. My family is very fan about soccer and they get crazy with a Colombia´s game. So they got very upset when I said that colombia would lose (jajajaja). So the game started and the first half was a very close game but in the second half it was different, Uruguay dominated the game and beat Colombia, the final score was 3-0. Some people of my family (specially the women) were very sad because the score. But in my opnion this is an opportunity to Colombia´s team because they need to improve their game and their performance. I told them that this is only the beginnig and sometime you have to loose for win (and it is just game).

Hello

I am learning english and I want to talk with native speakers.I think is one of the best way to improve it very fast. I can help you with your Spanish, I am a native speaker. Take care.

 

Learning another language I have had great results improving my english skills in this two months. I have a better level of speaking and writing. I feel more confident to talk with a native english person. But I need to keep practicing because I want a higher level of fluency. I still have problems to express my self in the way I would like but with more practice I think I will do it. Talking with native speakers have been a great experience, I have met great people and I learn a lot with their help. But, now I am interested to learn a new language. I was looking which language to learn and I chose portuguese because it is similar to spanish and I like it. I started to learn portuguese a week ago and I know only just a few phrases like greetings, basic questions and some farewell. I am triying to practice every day because I want to start to write and speak before december. Also, I like russian, I like the country and the culture, (It is one of my "dream travel"). But it is so different and hard, I just learn to say "yes", "hi", "no". So I am going to learn portuguese first and then I am going to take russian because I think It is the best choice. So far so good.

My dog´s issues I have an Dog, its name is Pretor. We called that way in honor to Praetorian guard (in spanish "Guardia Pretoriana") they were the bodyguards of the emperor in the ancient Rome. Pretor is a golden retriever, a very big dog and and old one, it is 9 years old and It had been a great dog, very noble and vey kind with us. Pretor cannnot be a guard dog because he is very friendly even with the strangers. But Lately and maybe because its age, it has several issues. It has a hip problem, the veterinarian said that this problem is common in that race and because of its size a surgery will be dangerous. So we have to give it some painkillers. And this week it was diagnosed with an eye problem and a liver problem, so we have wait some laboratory results to the diagnosis. My mother and my little brother are very concerned about the heatlh of Pretor. I tell them that we have to wait to the diagnosis. I am not sad but I don´t like to see Pretor getting old.

The blackness In my process of learning english I practiced almost every day my listening and speaking skills. But when it comes to practice my writing skills I have a problem... I don´t know what to talk about. It is funny because I know I have to practice but when I am in front of the laptop my mind goes blank and I cannot write about anything. It feels funny and bad at the same time because I want to practice but I don´t know what topic to write about. So today my goal was write about something but I found anything, but I did not give up and then I think "let´s talk about this situation of getting blank" and here I am. Maybe you find this topic funny but this story let me to write and practice my english. I would like to know if this is a common problem (I think It is) and I will glad if you could give me advices to fight againts "the blackness".
