Hi everyone

Hi everyone,
I have just joined Italki to improve my English skills. I live in Turkey, Eskişehir. I am studying industrial engineering. I have been trying to become fluent in English for years. But as you can understand, I have not become yet. I don't know anybody who can speak English as a native language. So I have created an account here because I believe that I can find someone who knows English very well, and then we could have an exchange of ideas about how I can improve my skills. I know English well enough but I can't use it effectively.

1) 'live' vs. 'living':'I live' means it's your permanent place of living, whereas 'I am living' means you are staying there, but not sure in the future.

2) For me 'compute' is not an appropriate word here. You might hear it in sentences like 'I compute my losses' and/or 'I should compute the distance from Britain to Turkey'. I'd rather use 'see' or 'understand' in such phrases ('as you see...', 'as you understand...').

3) 'Reduce' means 'to bring down' ('to reduce prices', for example).

Wishing you success!

I'm glad you are studying engineering, I've always thought there were far too few women in engineering!

Language websites are probably the place to find people who use the language that you are trying to learn.
