hola ! hi!

My name is Fernanda.  I'm from Mexico City. I'm seventeen. I want to meet people and learn English for my college.

¡come back to study ! i missed

it's really good nice to go return to studying after 2 months.  When i study, the time goes by on faster. There are many things to say to those friends that you didn't see during this time. This is my last semester.  I hope that all it's all gonna be fine.

I feel terrible.

I feel terrible because I broke my cell phone and my tablet in only 2 days. Long history. It's a long story.
But those are simple things.

Credits and my pc

I just bought a new PC monitor.  The last one just stopped working, so I was without a pc for 1 month. I use it for surfing the internet and playing games. I have a friend with a laptop, but he broke its screen (haha) and now he doesn't have a computer. I offered him my old monitor at a very low price.  If he could repair it, it would be his. I'm very happy with my new monitor because it's bigger than the old one. Now I enjoy movies and games. Why didn't I buy it immediately? well, that's because I don't have a lot of money, and I don't like (buying with) credit.  If I have money I buy. Credit is very terrifying. I feel like a slave when I have liabilities. Yeah! it's true that I need a good credit history to contract a big credit in the future buying buy a house in the future, but I've been avoiding it. And what about you? Do you like buying with credit?

Good job!  Your notebook entry was very easy to understand.  Some of your sentences were very long.  It is easier to read and more correct grammar if you split the sentences into shorter sentences.

In the US, when we use a credit card, we call it "buying with credit"  (or buying on credit).  The plural word "credits" is used as a special form of currency - for example, on italki, we can buy credits to purchase language lessons.

Hi everybody!

Hi there!

My name is Juan. I'm Mexican, and I am studying to be an English teacher as well as a Translator.  I love languages and well my favorite language is English because it is an universal language.  In other words, I would like to improve my vocabulary, but in this case I'm I am focusing on native sayings or quotes that native speakers use to communicate faster.   so I'd be glad if you can write down some of those quotes or phrasal verbs (as many as you know known them).

Greetings! :)

Hi Juan, your English is very good!  You seem to write a very long sentences with commas (,).  It is more correct grammar if you use a period (.) and start a new, shorter sentence.

Here is a good web site that has many popular American English slang words and phrases:

My English sucks

I'm a language enthusiast and have learnt English for more than 10 years, since I was a junior high school student. But actually, during the past few years, I spent most of the time on doing exercises only, which results in the situation that my spoke and as a result, my speaking and listening skills are bad.
In order to make improvements imporvement , I started watching American dramas without subtitles, friends(?), and now to S6 (? not sure what S6 is), it's quite funny and useful, but I can only understand less than 80%, and the most depressed depressing thing is that I don't know the lyrics of the theme song, sucks!

Your English is very good!  You just have a few very minor mistakes in your notebook entry but it could easily be understood.  Your writing is better than the writing of many native speakers.  Keep working at it and you will improve, I'm sure!

Chinese stunt inner painting

Inner painting is a Chinese traditional craft, which uses special brushes to paint the inside wall of a transparent pot, crystal ball, vases, screens, pen container and so on.  The painting is extremely difficult, and it is considered a stunt in China. These former art treasures in palaces have become a high class toy, and they are exported to Europe, America and other regions. A representative of the inner painting is a snuff bottle. A snuff bottle is the best gift for domestic and foreign dignitaries in foreign affairs, and friendly exchanges, and all kinds of wedding celebrations in commemoration, and it has a very high collection value!
