What would you want to see from an italki mobile application?
I love sports. I play soccer (football) all the time, and I've played many sports during my life. For me, playing sports are an important part of my life. But I don't just play them, I also love to watch sports. Many people feel that sports are an uneccessary waste of time, especially watching professional sports. Sports have been a good way for me to connect to different people without actually knowing the other person. Through watching and playing sports I have met people from nearly every continet in the world. My favorite memories of meeting people through sports was when I went to the 2006 World Cup in Germany. There I met and talked with people from all over the world, and it was easy to talk to stragers because we all were there for the same reason, to watch soccer and have fun.
What is your opinion on sports?
How could we be alone in this big universe? It would seem such a waste.
Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets? Why, or why not?
I'm from the United States. When I went to Spain for vacation, many of the young people there thought I could rap (or "sing" hip-hop). This was because I'm African-American and because I dressed in a similar way to people in the music videos.
A stereotype is a belief (or a thought) about a group of people (in my example, peole from the United States), but that belief may not accurately reflect reality.
Stereotypes can be hurtful or mean, but they can also make us laugh. Can you think of a funny stereotype associated with people from your country?
