She already knew and could use some basic greeting phrase, yes and no then we started practicing from noun sentences, numbers, demonstrative pronouns etc.. I am afraid that the pace was a bit fast, I felt I should have asked her during the session so that she could easily secure time to take note.

    In your particular questions, you cannot say "..have often been overshadowed FOR her personal life" because "for" does not describe WHAT is doing the overshadowing. For example, it the complete sentence is "Her work has often been overshadowed by her personal life." You can remove "by her personal life" and it is still a sentence; this short addition to the sentence is describing what is overshadowing her work, which is her personal life. I hope this makes sense! If you are familiar with linguistics, then look at it like a syntax tree.

    the main problems most foreigners have with English is pronouncing the "r". Some other common problems are words ending in "-er" and "-al". Compare your speaking of this sounds with native speakers from TV or something! Depending what your native language is, the specific sounds that are difficult for you to pronounce varies. I am a linguist so I'm sorry if this is very technical!

    New Book

    In order to improve my vocabulary, two weeks ago I went to a bookstore in Recife called Livraria Cultura to buy a book. This is one of best bookstores here. My intention was to buy "The Diary of Anne Frank", the English version, but they didn't have it at that moment. The saleswoman told me that I could order the book if I wanted to, but I was very excited to read the physical book. I don't want to read a digital book on the internet.
    Since I couldn't get the book that I wanted at that moment, I decided to buy another book for the time being. After a long time looking for a book I finally chose one, The Little Prince; I chose that book because it was a pocketbook and I could bring it with me everywhere. I've heard about that book before but I never had the desire to read it and this was the opportunity.
    Finally I bought the book and it cost thirty four reais.
    Now I am just starting to read the book and I'm on the third chapter.

     

     

    The Little Prince is actually one of my favorite books! I hope you like it. The book is laden with wonderful characters and many underlying themes. If you get the chance, reading the book in French is even better than English! Some things just can't translate properly. :)

    My life

    My goal is to speak English and Chinese fluently.

    This is because both my work and my background is international.

    Although both are technically OK, the first sounds more fluid.

    I feel bad. I want to make friends here and improve my English but time has gone by and it still has not come true.

     

    You should look up language partners and follow them. This way you can try to find language partners who can help you and that you can help as well.

    yes, say "man" like you would "tan" "men" as if saying "ten" "wo-" like the beginning of "would" and "-man" as you would "mun" "women" would be "wo-" like the beginning of "will" and "-men" could be said either like "men (above)" or "min" hope this isn't confusing! I didn't want to use IPA in case you aren't familiar with it

    Let`s go!

    I will try to speak English again. I need your help please. I have tried many times and would like to use this idiom correctly.
    It is not as important for my diary life but for traveling it is useful. And here you seem need it. 

    See you next time and thanks!
