I'd like to trade my English skills for French or Russian with an exchange partner. I'm from the Philippines and I just graduated from the university. English is basically our second language and I've learned it since forever so no need to worry. I like to read, daydream, surf the net, play the LOTRo mmorpg and go karaoke-ing! XD

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hello world! I'm learning english because I want to speak with people from different countries and also because I want to understand films,videos, magazines and articles in english. Also I also want to make friends.
    I study english myself because in my high (?) school and even now in my college there are teachers who don't know english very well.
    My native language is russian and I grew up in Russia.
    I enjoy listening to music. I like to play basketball and football (soccer).

     

    --Good job at teaching yourself!

    Hi! Here are some corrections: Do you want to make some coffee? The exports in our country is increasing these years. (still happening) I am very afraid of thunder and lightning. The boy was sent to a deaf school. Tax laws help the rich. I sometimes spend the evening listening to some music. His crime was not paid. Are you an artist or a musician? Do you want to put some sugar in your tea? ^^

    To put it simply, you can say "I believe in not claiming something to be more than it really is." Understatement-- "less dramatic expression of self" Pretension-- "behavior that gives greater appearance or status than needed"

    A descendant is somebody related to an ancestor by blood or marriage. Your descendants would be your children, grand children, great great grandchildren and so forth. When you say "direct", you are descendants of your parents, grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents, etc. If it is not direct, it includes other relatives like great grand-uncles or aunts.

    Snafu (noun) means "a delay caused by incompetence (lack of abilities)." For example, it is a snafu when a foolish secretary deleted the presentation files and caused the meeting to start very late. Synonyms can be 'delay', 'holdup' or 'hindrance.' Snafu (verb) means to spoil or to cause a situation to be confused or delayed. Example: The secretary snafued the business meeting when she deleted the presentation files.

    On the second video, the host said "...with candidates holding rallies,big and small. BY LAW, there's only a two-week period when mass campaigning can be done so...." Sorry about the first vid. I can't make out her words which are overlapped by the host's cough. Argh. TT

    Not exactly. You say "I bet" when you "think something is or going to be true." You're not really sure about it, you just think that it is/will be the case. Example. I bet the students will be surprised with the lessons today. I bet he forgot to bring his wallet again!

    These words can be synonymous. You can interchange them if you mean to say "to believe something to be true." Ex. Because you were not here at 3pm, I presumed you will not arrive. Using "assumed" would also make the sentence correct. However, these words have other meanings. Assume can mean "to adopt a role" or "to take responsibility." Presume can mean "to take advantage".

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hi! Languages are fascinating. I've always wanted to learn one. At the top of my list is French because it just sounds so beautiful! My native language is Hiligaynon, a dialect in the Philippines but I also know out national language Filipino (Tagalog). I enjoy reading, daydreaming, karaoke-ing and surfing the net. ^^
