Very disappointing :( I don't like the new Italki's rules 

Leyla. have you sent to Italki a feedback to ask about it?

Beber solo significa to drink ,  tomar aparte de signicar to drink también tiene otros usos.

Algunos ejemplos con tomar:

Tomar fotos/ taking photos.

Debo tomar una decisión/ I must make a decision.

Cuánto tiempo te tomará para que tu  tomes esa decisión?/ how long it will take for you to make that decision?

Si no me tomas en serio entonces toma tus cosas y largate/ if you do not take me seriously then take your things and get out.

Italy got a high score even it could have been perfectly the winner but many people didn't vote to support it I guess most of us didn't it because we have to pay 1.45€ here in spain I don't know how much it cost in other countries just for one message in order to support our favorite.

In short if support were cheaper almost everybody would vote and the results would be different.

I have the same problem but I'm improving my listening through podcasts.

For example BBC podcasts and Luke's English podcasts my favorite one because of its transcripts it's really engaging.

Da Hi : it's a beautiful Chinese song 

I don't know What they are saying however I learnt  lyrics of these songs Just because its rhythm transmits to me peace, love and melancholy.So I don't care if I'm singing like a parrot or if my voice isn't beautiful. I just enjoy the melody and what it makes me feel :)

But I don't understand why Austria as a host did not have any vote this year it must be very disapponting after winning they also sang a beautiful  song and it suppose that some friendly countries which gave their support to them last year, they had to give Austria some votes this year. Isn't it?. But anyway Switzerland's performance was very original and his victory was fair so I enjoyed the show !!

Hahaha... really? How funny!! I would have liked to understand everything what they were saying so thank you language fetishist :)
