Hi Natalie. If you were to say these to me while we were speaking, then yes I think they would all sound natural. In writing though I would personally make a few very minor changes (they don't at all change the meaning). My point is very much along the same line as the one you suggested. My point is very similar to what you suggested. (this is just a more concise way to say it) Your point is pretty much the one I was going to make. You just took the words right out of my mouth. You just said exactly what I wanted to say/was going to say.

Hello

Hello, my name is Jonathan and I'm chilean. I am 22 year old and I am studying international business. I like to play the guitar I like to be and spend time with my friends. I am searching for people to help me with my English. I can help you with your Spanish.

 

Cambié unas cosas para que todo suena más natural.  ¡Espero que te ayude!

Traduciría yo "vamos a comer" como "Let's eat." "Let us eat" me suena como "Déjanos comer." You can use "let us eat" in both contexts, but it seems kind of "forced" to me if it is used as "vamos a comer." Does that make sense?

Hi Gaby,

 

I like the correction by eisglotia, but there is something that sounds kind of awkward to me that I would write differently.  Below is how I would write this.

 

I´m sad

Three weeks ago I applied for a scholarship and I had the ilusion that I could to get it because I was confident during the interview (Do you mean that you felt confident that you did well during the interview? Or that you were actually confident during the interview?).  I have been waiting to hear back the result and unfortunately it was bad I recently found out that I did not receive it.  I was told that although I have excellent grades, I was not chosen because the university does not have sufficient funds.

 

Gaby, I want to emphasize that what you wrote was quite good.  It just was a little awkward when you explained why you did not get the scholarship.  However, you would have been well understood.  Espero que te ayude!  No dudes en preguntarme si tienes alguna duda sobre lo que cambié.

I miss my friend.

One of my best friends works in London. Recently he came to China to do some business. But since he didn't bring his phone and he doesn't have internet at where he lives now, I have totally lost contact with him.  I am so much worried about him, but I don't have any way to contact him. I know he is probably fine though, I just so much miss him so much.  Wish I hope everything is going to be ok! (This last sentence sounds kind of strange to me.  I would probably say "I hope everything works out ok" instead.)

 

I hope this helps!

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English because I want to make friends. My native language is Spanish and I grew up in Guatemala. I enjoy taking pictures, reading books, playing videogames, and speaking with my friends.

 

¡Espero que te ayude!

I like Ian's version, although unless there is some context that you have not provided the "enough" at the end of the sentence makes it feel like something is missing. I would say it like this: "Even doing all that you have mentioned, it takes years to become fluent."
