Hey everyone! I'm on italki to improve my Spanish language skills and learn many different languages. I would also love to learn German, Russian, Urdu, and others! Right now I'm mostly looking for a language exchange partner, but would be willing to find a language teacher if I have more time. I'm willing to help folks learn English as well. I speak very informally (even for an American) usually, so I can teach you a lot of idioms. Currently living in New York and working on becoming a health educator. I studied gender and sexuality, urban studies, and queer theory in school. I also love The Simpsons and punk rock. Let's chat!

    "Isn´t she happy? Is not she happy? Why not is she happy? Why isn´t she happy? " You wouldn't ever use "Why not is she happy?" If you did use this, it would be, "Why is she not happy?" However, contractions are used the most often (in American English, at least). You wouldn't really use the more formal "Is she not happy?" that often.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Because I do like to speak English, especially when I need it as much as air! 

     

    "Because/'Cause" never generally opens a sentence.  If you wanted to use "cause" in this context, you could put an apostrophe in front (so it becomes 'cause) to indicate a slang abbreviation.

     

    If you are comparing something using "as" (that is called a simile), it should be structured "as ____ as ____" 

     

    That person is as tall as a tree!

    This bread is as hard as a rock!

     

    I hope this is helpful :)

    My passion : Knitting

    I love knitting. I have been knitting for since almost 8 years.
    I think Since you say "about," the I think is not really necessary. I have knitted about 500 hats in my life, mostly to sell. I have also knitted flowers, scarves, shawls,and mittens as well.
    I like to knit with both straight needles and circular needles. For me, knitting is relaxing. and I want to learn more and more every day.
    The awkward moment is when my girls, Despite of they have having a lot of hats, scarves and mittens, they my girls don't wear them at all, even in winter.
