A real friendship.. by Internet? What is a real friendship? For me a real friend is a person who you consider as your brother or sister. You can count with him/her in a very difficult situations, and you think on him/her when you are passing the most enjoyable moments. I was thinking if this is possible with friends who met each other by internet. I am a bit skeptical about making friends on internet. Because, i really enjoy to share real moments with people, for example, drinking a coffee, watching a movie, cooking a meal, etc. But i think, we can tell us each other how different are our countries, our experiences and share reflexions. And that is an enriching experience. I enjoy to talk with friends on italki because i can practice my English fluency and also knowing more about a particular country or city. But to be honest, when they ask me if i could put my webcam, i normally say no. I am a bit shy, and for putting my webcam i need to feel some confidence with the person who is on front of me. Anyway, I feel good knowing I can help others improve their fluency in Spanish and also improve my English. Many times, a person need someone who don't know anything about oneself for telling what is happening in his or her life, and i am greatful that i could find one for doing this by italki. Kisses!

A Real Friendship ... by Internet?

What is a real friendship?

To* me, a real friend is someone who you consider as your brother or sister. You can always count on them*in very difficult situations, and you think of them whenever you are experiencing the most enjoyable moments.

I was wondering if this is possible with those friends who met each other by the Internet. I, myself, am a bit skeptical about making friends on it because I really enjoy sharing real moments with people, in person. For example, drinking a coffee, watching a movie, cooking a meal, etc., can all be done as we tell us each other about how different our countries are, relate our experiences and share memories. And those, are very  enriching moments 

I enjoy to talk with friends on italki because I can practice my English fluency, as well as also start knowing more about a particular country or city. But to be honest, whenever they ask me if I could use my webcam, I normally say no. I am a bit shy, so in order for me to use my webcam, I need to feel some confidence, to have developed some trust, with the person who will be on front of me. Anyway, I definitely feel good knowing that I can help others improve their fluency in Spanish, while improving my English at the same time.

Many times, a person needs someone who doesn't know anything about them* in order to open up and tell them what is happening in their life, and I am grateful that i could find someone for doing this here on iTalki.

Hi Ludy! Very nice composition! As to the English, the "I" when referring to yourself is always capitalized. I also just reworded / rewrote a few of your sentences to make them easier to read. I hope this helps you. J.

*To me" works better when giving your opinion as you are doing. "For me" is not wrong, but I have rarely encountered it in my reading.

**members of the Grammar Police will disagree, but using plural pronouns (they, them, themselves and their) in their gender-neutral singular contraction is acceptable. Plus, it just makes for easier reading!

I actually had a similar question/discussion in the past few months. I always didn't want to get Facebook to keep my privacy. Then I was convinced to use it to keep in contact with old friends. I think a real friend is someone who enjoys your presence and enjoys spending time with you. They do so regardless of the situation good or bad like you said. Many of our "friends" are made through circumstances. Like the people we socialize with from school and work. The real friends are the ones you can share your life with outside of those circumstances. That's why some of my best friends are on the internet. The people I grew up with who still share experiences with me even after we left school and moved all over the world. In the above paragraph I talked about friends maintained through the internet. When it comes to friendships made online I think they are special, because of the circumstances. I have never met any of my internet friends in person, but I've kept in touch with some for a long time. People meeting online can make pure friendships since their is no judgement on physical characteristics at first. Friends I made online like me for who I'am. The interest we initially shared formed our friendship. Sorry for the long comment, I had long discussions like this over the past few months. Your English is quite good.
