My practice
When I did my practice s in the tourism office, I was speaking with people from around the world: English, French, German, Japanese...
I was giving a map of Cordoba, and I was indicating: " We are here,this is the jewelry quarter, the mosque, etc.. and these are the schedules for the monuments". The people were very nice, and they were helping me speak English.Good! In English, we always capitalize nationalities and languages.
Also, "People" = the plural of "person"

I learned that those who don´t search for you don´t miss you, and that those who don´t miss you don´t love you. I learned that life decides who enters in your life, (or "comes into your life") but you decide who stays in it. I learned that the truth hurts only once and a lie always hurts. So appreciate people (or "appreciate those") who appreciate you, and don´t treat someone like a priority who treats you like an option...whoever hurts you makes you strong, whoever criticizes you makes you important, and whoever envies you makes you valuable...
If "Who" is used at the beginning of a sentence, then the sentence must be a question. For example: "Who are you?" is correct. "Who goes home." is not.

Hello guys, how is it going? (or "how's it going?) I'm Leandro, and I'm 27 years old. I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and I'd like to talk witch yours with you.
I really excited to meet new people, because I want to improve my language skills and writing.
This is my first time here. I don't know a couple of some stuff, but I am getting by, if you understand me.Leandro,
"Wanna" = "want to," but you will only hear "wanna" in conversations. We always use "want to" when we are writing.
"A couple of" = 2
Keep it up!

I keep on watching the movie 'Larry Crowne' with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts over and over again without any subtitles. In fact, next time will be the 4th time. If you have read my awesome diary on here, then you already know that I'm between jobs. To tell you the truth, I can't let bygone be bygone about his promise last month yet, but I want to step forward in my life, like with English. (There are many other possibilites for this sentence, but this works) That's why I'm seeking a new job, and touching ("practicing," "speaking," "writing in") English as much as I can. By the way, Larry Crowne, acted played by Tom Hanks, is hired for a job as a retail manager. Afterwards, he decides to go to college in order to find his new job and life like me, although in my case of me I stay at home exclusively. (Consider rephrasing this sentence) Then he takes a speech course, and his first class's topic is "French Toast." When I saw that scene, I suddenly remembered when I had worked in Hong Kong 6years ago. One of my co-workers took me to a cafe in Hong Kong and ordered very sweet French Toast. Afterword he said "this is you." I asked him "Why?" He answered, "Your name is Saito, and we say this: "Saito-shi(西多士). That's why you are french toast as for to us." I memorized only two Cantonese words: "Saito-shi' and 'Nei-ho (Hellow)."
Larry Crowne is an excellent movie!Recommended study topics: how to avoid "run-on" sentences.

Las puertas y paredes fueron muy altas y construido de metales fuertes, y yo no pude entender por qué los habitantes tenían tan mucho miedo. No estuvieron en peligro, solo tenían que verle caminando al fuera de las paredes. Cuando les dije que no estuve yendo a matarle a menos que había peligro a los habitantes, ellos me dijeron que no merecía la protección de las paredes y que sería exilado si yo no hice nada. Al poco rato me di cuenta de que no tenía un decisión, y ellos me dieron una arma así que yo podría cazar el animal.January 6, 201390
