Len's really passionate about the language and you can really appreciate how much when you listen to his history. I'm going to help him reaching fluency in Italian :)
Profile
I would like to try online tutoring and thought I would try an Italki language teacher to help me learn Italian. Online is the most convenient for me, as I am not close to any language centres, or Italian teachers.

Привет, Максим, ты отлично справился. У меня не было проблем с пониманием текста. Есть несколько проблем...
Today
I got up early today, as usual at 10 a.m. (early means earlier than usual, so this doesn't make sense) I got up earlier than usual today at 10am. I'm not working today, but In the morning (you are already talking about the morning & today - so no need to repeat that) but I had to go to Hotel (is this the right word?) for a medical examination. I'd gone to the kitchen and made a sandwich with cheese and ham. I'd used my grill, cause it's the better way to get the best sandwich. When you fry bread, the taste is changes and the cheese getting melted. melts. I guess you know how yummy it is. So, when I had a breakfast (*unnecessary), I* got dressed and went to a the Hotel. It took about 40 minutes, and for me it seems not so that isn't long. I always read the a book while I'm getting to job work by subway. I really enjoy it, because (you will hear cause in conversation & in USA but it is bad english) you don't think about your surroundings when you're sitting or standing and reading the a book. Afterwards, I've been in a After being at the Hotel for 2 or 3 hours, I had my .When I came to medical examination. I was given got the document which contains a list of doctors and the form for them empty place where they need to write feedback about my physical condition. I had to pass some examinations like giving blood, urine test, electrocardiogram, swab, check the throat and ears, fluorography and whatnot (good word !). Every employee in our Hotel gotta (you will hear this but it is bad english - it is actually 'got a') passed pass the medical examination for further work. If you don't pass it, your employer will prohibit you to go to work. When you're working with food, you must be healthy and don't have any diseases, otherwise If you not healthy, you can contaminate food which you cook for your customers or if somebody have mental disease he/she can poison the dish which he/she cooked of for instance you can lose consciousness and hurt yourself. i want to finish my text here, cause I am really exhausted now after was writing this text. То же самое происходит со мной, по-русски.сработано

I think this would be a good guide ... 1) use 'in' when it is something "general" where YOU have done something i.e. you have lots experience in something - I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE IN LANGUAGE LEARNING, 2) use 'of' when it is something DONE TO YOU - I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE OF BEING HUNGRY AS A CHILD 3) use 'experience' (singular) when you mean "A SKILL in general" I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE IN LANGUAGE LEARNING ... use 'experiences' to describe things that have happened TO YOU, they are specific things and may not be related to each other e.g. I WENT TO EUROPE LAST YEAR AND HAD LOTS OF GREAT EXPERIENCES.

Cambridge Exam: Preliminary English Test.
This is a part of a letter you receive from an English friend: "I know you often go to the cinema. Tell me about the last film you saw and whether you enjoyed it". Write a letter to your friend:
Dear Ricardo,
I write am writing to you about the last film I've seen. I went to I saw at the cinema two weeks ago. I saw "Palm trees in the snow” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Trees_in_the_Snow). The film is about a love history story between a Spanish boy and a Guinean girl in 1954, when Guinea Ecuatorial was part of Spain and some Spanish (this is an adjective) spaniards went to Guinea Ecuatorial to work growing cocoa.
Before this period of time, Spanish civil war had finished, and a lof of Spanish spaniards were unemployed and were poor. They left the north of Spain and traveled to Guinea Ecuatorial. You can see in the film the exploitation of black people form by Europeans.
The lovers had to suffer some troubles about difficulties due to the cultural difference (too vague) their cultural differences
Finally, the Guineans reclaimed their Independence, the Spanish *** had to return, and the lovers were separated.
I've though (I dont know what you want to say here) In my opinion the Europeans exploited Africa, and this was the reason why the countries reclaimed their Independence.Very Good Miguel ... *** spanish is an adjective. It is also a noun when used to describe (in very general terms) the spanish people i.e. the people of spain ... e.g. the spanish are famous for bull fights and paella !

How does this help? Softly implies how it is effecting the thing, and gently refers to how it is being done to the thing i.e refers to the action. He touched her gently - you imagine how he is touching her He touched her softly - you imagine how she is being touched the wind blew gently - you imagine the wind blowing the wend blew softly - you imagine the wind blowing on your face (softly) Another example - in washing machines/ dish washers - there is always a "Gentle Cycle' - it implies that in that setting, the machine does its job gently - they never say 'soft cycle'. Just remember gentle/gently always refers to something BEING DONE. Happy to help if you need it. Len from Australia0 votedJanuary 6, 20160
- Lisanne That is perfectly fine, but is a little "clumsy" because the verb is being repeated. To reduce this they would say "they're going to go' or 'they're going to the supermarket tomorrow' - in 'they're going to the supermarket tomorrow' the future is indicated by the word 'tomorrow'. if 'tomorrow' wasn't in the sentence you would have to say 'going to go' to indicate future. As for Benoit's advice, 'plan to go' is ok, but 'going to go' is stronger/more definite. Hope this helps. Good luck with your studies. Len0 votedNovember 18, 20142
- Alexander 'by' is used to describe how you did something, e..g i went by car, i passed my exam by studying very hard. 'for' in this context means because, and in this context 'because' would be a better word. ... I kissed you because of the love that I feel for you... or simply I kissed you because I love you. Hope this helps. Len0 votedNovember 16, 20143
- Either would be ok, but the 2nd is best - it had been, mainly because you are describing something before another event occurred i.e going to bed. If the second half of the sentence wasn't there, you would say, it was a tiring day, not it had been a tiring day, unless you went on to describe some other things, and then something that happened. Hope this helps' Len0 votedNovember 15, 20140
