My first experience in Itaki
Hello everyone, this is my first text in Itaki. I want learn of about your experience in English. I am from Lima, Perú. I'm forty-six years old. I'm married and have two sons children. My son is eighteen years old and my daugther daughter is fifteen years old. I await your kind commentsThat's a very good first attempt. A few notes:
1/ Remember that "I" is always capitalised in English.
2/ You normally say "I want to learn about (something)" The expression "learn of" is not wrong but it is more limited in its use, and it would take too long to explain the distinction here.
3/ You need a form of the verb "to be" when describing where you are from. "I am from", he is from, they are from, etc.
4/ I'm not sure about Spanish but in Italian if you have children of different sexes you use the masculine plural (figli) for children. However you can't do that in English. If they are all sons you can use "sons", if they are all daughters you can use "daughters" but if they are a mixture then you must use "children".
