Resolutions Hello to everyone who's reading this ! I've just taken a new resolution! I know it's late, I should have taken it in the beginning of January but let's say that it's my...19 years old resolution since I turned 19 ten days ago^^ I will try to write a text twice a week in English, and once a week in Spanish. I'm afraid it won't be interesting, or I my have nothing to say but I think it could be useful to practice. I think my English is quite well, but there are still a lot of mistakes since I'm not a good friend of Grammar ahah and sometimes when I don't know how to say a sentence, obviously I tend to translate directly and literaly from French to English so it doesn't sound "English". So sometimes I will talk about a movie I'd have seen, a book I'd have read, an event...or sometimes if I don't have nothing to say I'll try to write about what I've done this week :) I promise I will TRY to hold this resolution ! I have other resolutions such as watching each day a video of English/German/Spanish and learn vocabulary words each day but...i'm not sure at all to hold those !

Hello to everyone who's reading this !

I've just made a new resolution! I know it's late. I should have made it in the beginning of January but let's say that it's my...19-years-old resolution since I turned 19 ten days ago

I will try to write a text twice a week in English and once a week in Spanish. I'm afraid it won't be interesting, or I my have nothing to say but, I think it could be useful to practice.

I think my English is quite good, but there are still a lot of mistakes since I'm not a good friend of grammar.  Also, sometimes when I don't know how to say a sentence, I tend to translate directly and literally from French to English so it doesn't sound "English."

So sometimes I will talk about a movie I have seen, a book I have read, or an event.  Sometimes, if I don't have anything to say, I'll try to write about what I've done during the week :)

I promise I will TRY to hold to this resolution!

I have other resolutions such as watching an English/German/Spanish video each day and learning new vocabulary words each day but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold to those !

Hello to everyone who's reading this !
I've just taken made ("taken" is fin, but "made" is used more often) a new resolution! I know it's late, I should have taken made it in the beginning of January but let's say that it's my...19 years year ("Year" is always singular in this context because "year" is modifying "resolution.".  If you said "19 years later" it would be plural because "years" would be modifying "19") old resolution since I turned 19 ten days ago^^
I will try to write a text twice a week in English, and once a week in Spanish. I'm afraid it won't be interesting, or I my might have nothing to say but I think it could be useful to practice.
I think my English is quite well good ("good" is an adjective which modifies a noun and in this case "good" is modifying "English." "Well" is an adverb and modifies a verb (an action) so you would say "I sing well."  , but there are still a lot of mistakes since I'm not a good friend PERFECT USE OF GOOD! of Grammar ahah and sometimes when I don't know how to say a sentence, obviously I tend to translate directly and literaly spelling:  literally from French to English so it doesn't sound "English".
So sometimes I will talk about a movie I'd  just "I" have seen, a book I'd  Just "I" have read, an event...or sometimes if I don't have nothing anything ("don't is negative --do not--and so is nothing.  Putting two negatives together to describe something is called a "double negative" which you don't want to do.  So if you have one negative, in this case "don't" you would use the word "anything" instead of "nothing."  So you could also say "sometimes I have nothing to say" or "sometimes I don't have anything to say.' to say I'll try to write about what I've done this week :)
I promise I will TRY to hold this resolution !
I have other resolutions such as watching each day a video of English/German/Spanish each day (how you wrote it is fine, it's just not how we usually express this. and learn   "learn"--since you used "watching" earlier and this verb "learning"  follows it, they would both be the same construction with "-ing".  This is called "parallel construction." vocabulary words each day but...i'm not sure at all to hold if I will keep those !


You're English is beautiful!  I wish my Spanish was half as good!  Good job!
