First notebook entry: Introducing myself

My name is Farah, I'm 14 and I'm French.
I learn English because I like this the language and I think English it will be important in my future job.
I love to read manga, to play video games, to do Aïkido, and to listen to music...
I hope you will help me in with my English !
I can help you to learn French if you speak English.
I wanna learn Japanese too and I wanna go to Japan :-)

Have a nice day~

In English, "I like this language" is a lot more specific (et quelquefois beaucoup plus emphatique) than "I like the language." It means something a little more like "I like this one MORE THAN all the other ones."

After the expression "I love/like," you can either:

1. Use the infinitive of the verbs ("to read" instead of "read.") An example: "I love to read and to write."

2. Use the progressive form of the verbs ("reading" instead of "read.") An exmaple: "I love reading and writing."

Usually, you can use either one, but once you pick one it's good to keep using it through the whole sentence. :)

In English, "help" as a verb (comme 'aider') is either followed by "with" and then whatever you need help with ("Help me with my English,") or by the infinitive of a verb ("Help me to improve my English.")

En fait, "I think English will be important in my future job" est vraiment correct! It just sounds better to use a pronoun after saying "English" once already: "I think it will be important in my future job."

J'éspère que ça va vous aider! :) J'aime quelques manga et mon copain adore les jeux videos, alors je comprends. C'est quoi "Aïkido"?
