Get up, get in, get on, get off,... I have watched a video talking about the phrasal verb get and the man who was presenting the video, told that there are at least ten phrasal verbs with word "get" and to become worst, some phrasal verbs have more than one meaning, such as "get up" o_O Currently nothing is being more difficult in my English learning that phrasal verbs. Sometimes the things simply don't make sense for a non native English speaker, but ok! I going to write all "gets" that I remembering, without watching the video again, and in front of them I will write the meaning: - GET IN: To enter in a small place, like a car or a small bathroom - GET ON: To enter in a big place like a ship, soccer stadium, train. In a place that has a way to walk - GET OVER: I don't remember - GET ALONG: Become together with someone: I'll get along with you - GET THROUGH: To finish something: I got through my home work - GET OFF: To leave a place, for example: Get off my room! - GET UP: To stand up from a place or to wear a clothe: Get up from this sofa! Get up this shirt! - GET DOWN: The opposite of "get up", in other words, to sit down, to lie down - GET AWAY: To get a way, for example: I got away to home - GET BETWEEN (this I had to consult the video haha): I guess that must be a person to be between two others, for example: Hey man, get between your sister and your mother

Ensinando mi novia a conducir Mi novia ya tiene habilitación para conducir coche hace más de un año, pero ella aun no tiene confianza para salir sola en las carreteras. A veces ella hasta queda con confianza y toma lo carro para ir hasta lugares cerca cómo la panadería o lo supermercado, sino cuando la distancia es más grande que cinco kilómetros o tiene muchas semáforos entonces el miedo toma cuenta de ella. Hoy nosotros fuimos hasta un parque lejos de nuestra casa y cuando iríamos volver lo dice a ella para conducir hasta nuestra casa. A principio ella no quiso, pero yo quedé pidiendo muchas otras veces hasta que ella no tuve otra opcion si no tomar las llaves y ir al volante. Bien, si estoy escribiendo es porque llegue vivo aquí jaja Ojala ella piedca eso miedo y puesta en marcha a conducir por las carreteras de São Paulo.

My profession Since I was a child I always liked technology. I used to be fascinated with computers, video games, remote controls and all kind of things that I didn't understand how to worked. With the pass of years I grew up and I had to decide about my future. Two options were my favorites: Computation and Chemistry. Maybe are you asking: Chemistry... Why chemistry? Well, I was really good in this subject at school. My grades almost ever were between 8 and 10, so to be a Scientist perhaps were a good option. But unfortunately didn't was! I hated the chemistry graduation and I jumped out from that college. After this, the choice was obvious: Computation. So today, after five hard years in the Faculty of Technology of São Paulo (FATEC-SP), I became a Computer Engineer. Today I create websites and I'm learning how to make mobile apps.

Luggage Today I met a new word: Luggage. I also also learned that this word is a "Mass Noun", or in other words, is a not countable noun, therefore it doesn't have a plural form. Some synonymous of luggage are: Baggage, suitcase, maybe "backpack". Following there are some sentences using this word: 1 - Yesterday I forgot my luggage in the terminal, but a good man found it and send me it to home. 2 - When I'm travelling, certainly the worst party is making the luggage. 3 - Have you taken my luggage for the bus? 4 - I don't know why women spend so much time making their luggage. 5 - I going to buy a new luggage on internet.

Do I make a diary? To build an diary in Italki? I'm reading my first Spanish book, the classical "The Diary of Anne Frank" or in Spanish "El Diario de Ana Frank". Well, besides to be liking so much, I'm also learning a lot of things in Spanish with it. Some days ago I realized some things about the history... First of all, Anne Frank is a genius! Simply there isn't another word to describe her. She has a incredible perception of the world for a girl with just 13-14 years. Sometimes I read some pages and I have certain that it was made by a adult woman! Besides this, I guess amazing the fact that even she is living hiding in an little room, she almost always have many things to write in your diary. Sometimes people ask me how it was my day and I answer: It was just a normal day... So I started to think how would be "The Diary of Stephan Spakov": Day 1 - It was a normal day Day 2 - Such as yesterday, today also was a normal day,... Oh my god, it looks so boring! The funny is that I certainly make more things that Anne Frank... Maybe the secret to write an interesting diary must be to write a lot of things about your day independently what will be the result, or maybe create an imaginary friend as Anne Frank made... Well, I really still don't know. But I'm thinking to make a diary here in Italki to practice and increase my English, Spanish and in the future my German. Tomorrow I'll have sure about it and if I have chose make the diary, I'll count how it was today. So, see you tomorrow.

Cómo fui mio día Estoy el día todo estudiando Inglés y Español. Casi que no paro para hacer otras cosas básicas cómo beber agua y comer mi almuerzo. Para decir la verdad, me gusta mucho más Español do que Inglés, sino Inglés es "el idioma que muevo el mundo", entonces no tengo muchas escollas si no aprenderlo también, pero estoy mucho más contento en estudiar español! Cada día yo descubro alguna cosa nueva que me deja más animado con el proceso de aprendizaje. Hoy por ejemplo yo descubrí que todas palabras en Portugués (o pelo menos la grand mayoría de ellas) que tienen dos letras "s" juntas, cómo "Processo" cuando cambiada para Español van tener sólo una letra "s". Bien, antes de ayer yo descubrí un site que ya esta entro mis favoritos: http://conjugador.reverso.net/ y en toda hora yo voy hasta él para conocer como es la conjugación de alguno verbo. Los más difíciles ciertamente son los verbos irregulares cómo el verbo ser. Sin embargo, estoy haciendo progreso. Ayer llegué hasta el canal del grande periodista Andrés Oppenheimer en YouTube y estoy encantado con la grand inteligencia de este hombre! Yo no conocía él y ahora estoy casi dos horas vendo sus vídeos. Lo bueno eres que yo estoy entrenando mis oídos. Creo que la internet eres fantástica para quien quieres aprender cualquier idioma, tanto que ya estoy empezando mis primeros pasos en Alemán!

A history using words: Vase, sign, car, door... Besides to study here and in other internet places such as YouTube and Duolingo, I'm also taking classes of english with a native. During my last class, my teacher, a Nigerian man, challenged me to create a history using some random words. Then I asked: - What words? So he answered: - Vase, sign, car, door, grass, bed, portrait, son At the time I did not even know where to start, so I decided to try now in Italki. Let's go there: I need to fix my car, because I going to use it more late to take two vases for my aunt's apartment. Besides engine, I also will have to take a look at the left rear door because it's become dented after I beat lightly the car at a tree after skid on a washed grass. If I had following the signs I believe that nothing of this had been happening, because I saw at least four signs asking to reduce the speed. But, all right, I always heard from my friends that having a car is like having a son, in other words we have to spend a lot o money, so I'm just seeing that it's really truth. When I arrived at mechanical I saw an old portrait over an still older shelf in the right corner of the office. In this portrait had a picture of a bed with a beautiful women on it. Maybe it was her daughter or her wife, I don't know, however more important to me is that my car was ready and I finally can go out and take the vases to my aunt. Well I believe that I had used every words.
