What football team do you support? Everyone supports a wide host of different football teams across the world. I have to admit i'll be generic and tell you I support Manchested United. I also support my national team which is Ireland. What football team do you support? It can be a club or a national team and it doesn't matter whether in the world it is or what division. I would love to know what teams people across the world support :)

Do you have a role model in your life? Do you have a role model in your life? Do you wish to go along the same life journey of any particular person or does anyone in particular inspire you in your daily life? This can be a famous person or it can be your parents, it doesn't really matter. My role model would have to be my parents - I just want to be a moral human being and don't aspire to be like anyone famous. I would be interested to know who you look up to - it doesn't matter whether it is a celebrity like Miley Cyrus or Pope Francis, you make the choice :)

What is the toughest advice you have ever received? Everyone receives a piece of tough advice at some stage during their life. My best advice would be from my my dad when he once told me "You can do anything if you put your mind to it" Have you ever had advice which was a great inspiration to you in your life journey or even a tiny bit of advice which you are forever thankful for? Please do let me know as I would love to know some of your stories! Enjoy your New Year guys.

How many languages do you learn at a time? I personally only learn one at a time as I feel like mastering one language is important before learning a new one. What is your technique? Do you learn multiple languages at once? Everyone has their own unique way of learning so please do let me know what your method is :)

What is your favorite phrase? Everyone loves phrases don't they? :) What is your favorite phrase? Mine would have to be "Never give up, keep trying! "Life is like an ocean fluctuating up and down" Maybe you have a phrase which is connected with the New Year, whatever your phrase is I would love to hear it, so please do let us all know :)

What is your favorite country in the world? Mine would have to be Thailand even though I have never actually had the opportunity to visit yet. I've had a romance with Thailand for many years and I have always wanted to go there. Nothing can beat the wonderful food, the great people and after all it is the land of smiles. What is your favorite country? Have you went to your favorite country yet? Maybe 2017 will be a New Year for me and lets hope I can have my childhood dream and visit Thailand :)

Best Documentary

What is your favorite documentary? I have listed mine below.

Kim Philby - His most intimate betrayal - This follows a double agent Kim Philby who spied on Britain for the Russian Intelligence Service. This provides a fantastic insight into espionage and explores Kim Philbys life including his relationships and his personal hobbies. It also provides interesting insight into Kim Philbys friends who also worked for the Russian Intelligence Service. Anyone who enjoys a good spy story should watch this for sure.

New Year Resolution 2017

Hello there everyone I would like to wish you a Happy New Year and I hope you do have an enjoyable 2017. Have you got any New Years Resolution for 2017? My New Years resolution is to have a fantastic year at ITalki and to be able to keep connected with people across the world and help to enhance their understanding of English. Another goal of mine is read loads of books and play games (trust me I have so much on my list) 

Overall though I was happy with 2016 and I wouldn't change 2016 even if I could. Everyone have a magical 2017 and let me know what your New Years plans are :)
