I know a lot of languages and I've developed the technique to keep learning more. It's with the help of this technique that I teach others to develop confidence and independence in their own language use. I also have the qualifications to prove it: In the non-virtual world, I have an MA in linguistics and work as a full time, CELTA qualified English teacher. We learn a language in order to communicate it with other people. We learnt our native language without relying on another language to help us. For this reason, we don't need to use our native language when learning - we learn through doing. If you already know the language, we will work on it together and increase your competence, but doing speaking, listening, reading and writing activities. Lessons are prepared and all material is provided <u>before</u> the start of the lesson. If you would like homework, that can also be arranged. What's more, I prepare students for English exams, in particular IELTS, PET, KET and --- in both the virtual and non virtual worlds. Check out my blog and see how this is possible: www.pro-linguo.com

    Andrey, that's a good question! We tend to use the present perfect for events that have happened for periods of time that have not finished, which are still in the past.


    For example, "I have eaten today / this week / the year"

     

    but; "I ate yesterday / last week / in 2012"

     

    More to come in a future article!

     

    Laura, what Michael says is quite correct. There is a slight difference in meaning though:


    "we're seeing each other later" = "We've spoken about it and arranged it in advance"

    "we will see each other later" = "I promise I will make it happen" or "I predict it will happen" 

     

    Last but not least, Hélio, we know that the someone is writing a book at this stage of their live. This does not mean necesarily that they are writing this very second, it could be a project which is on-going and is not finished yet.

    Have you had a conversation where someone asks you "What are you doing?" and you respond with "I eat" or "I go home", only to get a frustrated response? In English, the conjugation of verbs to reflect time is quite unique and may be difficult to simply memorize. Rather than rote memorization, let's go over and understand the small changes that make the biggest differences when composing a sentence in English.

    Play badminton

    Tonight I went to the gym to play badminton. There were some people playing together. I wore a sports shorts and a T shirt, but other people in gym wore trousers. I felt cold, so I put on a coat. After a round match, I felt a little hot, then I took off the coat. Tonight I and my partner lost 2 matches at first, then we won the second match. I use my left hand to play badminton. When prepairing to serve, I used to stand with the left foot behind the right foot, but tonight I reversed it. Then I felt it better, and I could play badminton in better way. Oh, it was good thing for me.

    I'm learning a new language

    Hi my name is Andrezza and I'm learning a new language. I chose English because I love America and I have a great desire to live there one day.
    I can not write very well so I hope you can correct me and show me the right way to express myself.
