iTalki points

Hello guys,

 

I've been correcting a lot of entries lately. I want to know what's the point in having iTalki points if I cannot use them.

 

Can I change them for money? 

Can I use these points for lessons?

CV statement I'm trying to draw up for the first time a statement (personal objective) for a CV. He's my go: I am enthusiastic about languages. This is reflected on my commitments inside and outside my degree. I’m a passionate about languages —I’ve taught myself English, French and German. I’ve taken part in some meet-ups, both one-to-one and by Skype, which led me to be confident when speaking foreign languages. Some ideas would be good. I think it's very short but it's my first try. I've never been taught this in college so I hope to get positive feedback on it.

What's the difference among "babysitter", "childminder" and "au pair"? I recently find the word "childminer" in a British text. I know, in some extent, the meaning of "au pair" but I don't know exactly the meaning the difference among the three words.

I'm getting tired of this website I've been trying to be polite. I follow people and send them a detailed message with my offer, always offering my Spanish and, when they are on chat, I just follow the etiquette/protocol. I think it's a little bit rude when you dedicate/invest a time in writing and you don't receive a reply. At least, only a "Sorry, I'm not interested in your offer". Likewise, I think this website is focused on premium.

Advertising era We are in the advertising era. We are surrounded by advertising and we are not even aware that advertisers spam us every day. Television, outdoor advertising, billboards, bus shelters, MUPIs —they are growing faster than ever. Consumers are getting bored and tired of intrusive spots and ads. This has motivated the birth of advertgaming and street marketing; new ways of combining interaction with consumers on the streets. Many campaigns turn around this idea: entertainment. Advertisers are trying to adapt to new media, arising the transmedia marketing, that is, the message and value are growing depending on the media, for example, a game, a movie, a spot. All this media cover the target audience and enriches the message.

Documentaries

Hello guys,

I'm looking for a good website for downloading documentaries. I'm very interested in watching documentaries (any language would be ok, provided that there are subtitles in English, French or Spanish). 

I would like to know any website either direct stream, torrent or online.

I'm very interested in documentaries you watched about History, travel or society.

Thank you in advance,

Makarov.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Korean dramas

Hi. I recently started watching Korean Dramas. I've watched IRIS (2009) and I give it a try to IRIS 2 but I didn't like it much. I'm looking for similar korean dramas, especially action or another ones. If you know anyone targeted to men it would be great to hear about it. 

Skype English practice Hello, I'm looking for English speaking practice for free. Skype would be great. If anyone it's interested in improving their spoken English let me know. I can help you with Spanish or English, if possible.

Practice spoken English (for free)

 

Hello guys, 

I'm looking for the best way to practice my spoken English. I tried a well-known website called Verbling but it didn't turn out well. I've tried to access through different browsers but I can't communicate with people. Moreover, it's necessary to use webcam.

I've also tried skype community forums (learn languages) but unfortunately people are very shy or just want to learn exotic languages such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese and so on. People willing to practice in English are beginner or with a strong accent.

I've also tried websites such as sharedtalk or mylanguagexchange but the same situation as I explained above.

I've been very active replying to posts and creating new ones but I didn't receive many satisfactory answers.

I would like to know if there is a good way to practise spoken English by website or by Skype.

Thanks in advance.
