Here is a discussion in which all English learners to practice their written language skills!
I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and I've always been curious about how the world views my native ity. We were host to the Olympics in 1996 and are home to several Fortune 500 companies, such as Coca-Cola, Turner Broadcasting, and UPS, but many Americans outside of the southeast still consider Atlanta a small city (even though the population of the metropolitan area is over 5 million). I'm curious what, if anything, you as citizens of other countries know about Atlanta. Also, if you have been here, what do you think of it?
If you have no experience with Atlanta, what do you think about the United States in general? What have you been taught about our culture? I find it fascinating, the things we teach ourselves about other people without actually going to the source! If there's anything you want to know about the US, feel free to ask =) Tell me a little bit about your city and/or country too! I'd love to read it, and it will give you a chance to practice your English.
Hi, I'm Chris! I'm new to tutoring here on italki. I wish I could offer a free trial session for anyone interested, but it makes me charge a minimum 10 ITC to guarantee we'll both show up.
However, the first 5 people to sign up and take a trial session will get 50% off a package of 10 half-hour sessions (5hrs for $20 or 200 ITC).
Also, you tell me what you want to learn! I would love to help with English, but would also love to teach other subjects in English to challenge you. Let's get creative!
Ok non-native speakers...try to read and respond to this in English.
One part of our every day lives that reflects heavily in our culture is our cuisine. We can tell a lot about ourselves by what we eat and drink. For instance, in fast-paced urban environments, expensive, on-the-go coffee shops are very popular.
I live in the southeastern United States, aka "The South". Here, we eat a disproportionately large amount of fried foods, such as chicken, and fatty foods, such as gravy and mashed potatoes (with butter) We also drink sweet beverages, such as sweet tea (iced tea with lots and lots of sugar!). In fact, most people in the South say there is no such thing as too much sugar in sweet tea! I believe this reflects our laid-back culture and is an example of how we put an emphasis on enjoying our waay of life. We also enjoy social time, as tea here serves the same purpose as it does in the UK.
In English, tell me about how food and beverage in your country represents or reflects your culture!
Welcome to the English language, all English learners! What brings you here? I am a new tutor on italki and am curious as to what you all seek to gain out of your learning experience here? Do you want to be able to have conversations in English? Do you want to be fluent, or learn something specific, like business or medical English? I would love to offer all of these courses, plus history and anthropology courses in the English language, which I think would be a real challenge for a non-native speaker.
Anyhow, tell me what led you to English!
