My new life
I used to be a translator, now I teach English in France. While I used to write a lot, today I have to speak English several hours a day and I sometimes struggle to sound fluent so I need to practice and practice and practice! But it's not easy when you don't live in the country of the language you're studying/learning, right? I find that it is difficult for me to talk about mundane and everyday activities because I studied English at Uni and there we used literate words but nothing useful to help my high school students to talk about their daily lives.

I would just write the word "but" after translator.
I am trying to think of another word for "literate" but right now it is escaping me...... though I understand your thought.
If I can think of one I'll make another comment unless another person has one.
Very good English usage.....A+.

Hi Celine
your English is great but I understand your point about speaking more often with native English speakers.
I would be happy to speak with you but fear my french is not good at all - but I am a keen learner. You may get frustrated at my level of french when compared to your English.
If however some of your students who are french want to practice as a language exchange i would be delighted to talk to them.

Thanks so much! From what I read, your French is even better.

Your English is amazing, by the way.

OK so "help me do it" and "help me to do it" are both correct but the former is more idiomatic. Got it, thanks!
