I am more than happy to converse (speak) with people looking to practice everyday conversations with a native American-English speaker. I thoroughly enjoy listening to and speaking different Asian languages as well as learning about various cultures. I am looking for language exchange partners.

    Toward Aun: Iceland would be a beautiful place to visit, I think.  Who knows, maybe one day you will get the chance to go.

     

    Toward Welington: There are many breath-taking places to visit in the USA.  Watching the sunrise in the Grand Canyon is an unforgettable experience.  Mount Rushmore is also a nice place to visit.  There are so many other places to go and see, but those are two famous places.  Studying in a university overseas is an amazing experience to have.  I hope you are afforded the oportunity and that you are able to take full advantage of it.

    Learning a language in some respects is only as difficult as you make it.  I believe you could learn Mandarin! ^^ Yes, I really find delight in traveling.  I would enjoy visiting places all over the world.

    Toward Kumiho: South Korea! I want to go to Korea too. I think the sound of Korean is comforting haha...I learned a little. After I learn Mandarin maybe I will go back to learning Korean. I want to go to China, Korea, Japan, Barbados, Norway, back to Brazil, Poland, and some other places. I have different reasons for wanting to go to those places. A couple simple reasons (but not all) are:
    China: walk along the Great Wall; lantern festival
    Korea: just because I like Korea..haha
    Japan: watch the sakura (cherry blossoms bloom)
    Barbados: my ancestry
    Norway: visit my friends
    Brazil: I am craving Açaí and Pão de Queijo
    Poland: visit friends
    Other places: many reasons haha

    Toward Lena:  Yea, Australia sounds nice

    Toward jlaze002:  I lived in Brasil for about 6 months.  It is really nice there.  You can find a lot of nice people there, as well as some who will be nice to your face once they find out you are American (I was told that many hate Americans; but the only one I met that did had his heart changed by God).  haha...  It is good that you are learning Portuguese.  There are a lot of people who don't speak English.  Two foods I miss(saudades<3): pão de queijo...and açaí (I think Açaí with strawberries and granola is better than it with bananas...but you can be your own judge.)  Hope you get to go soon!

    Where would you go?

    If you could choose to visit any place in the world, where would you choose?

    Why would you choose that place?

    They are basically the same. It's just that the word "single" breaks each day apart and puts an emphasis on the fact that each day is separate. It gives the feeling, "time after time after time" or "again and again and again." Whereas when you say "every day" the days seem vague and/or connected, as though there is no separation/specific time. It is almost like the difference between saying, "I go to the gym Monday through Thursday!" vs saying "I go to the gym Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!" Even though it is likely that the listener knows what days are between Monday and Thursday, if the speaker doesn't list each of the days, the impact isn't as strong and there isn't as great of an emphasis as in the second sentence that lists out each of the days separately. Also, in normal speech if someone says that they study every night, it is possible that they have missed a night or two (as in something prevented them from studying for a night). However, if someone says, "I study every single night." They are saying that they have never missed a night of studying. Keep up the good work! :)
