My name is Jesse, and I am from Australia. I am a native English speaker, and currently can only speak English. I am a 22 year old student, and I want to learn German to a relatively fluent level. I want to learn purely for the interest value of learning, as well as for the purpose of travel through Germanic Europe at some point in the future. I am more than happy to Skype/Email with people who have a fluent grasp of German and a basic grasp of English so we can help each other learn.

    A bad experience.

    Yesterday I(The way this is written it sounds like you were stolen yourself) my phone was stolen, which was a really bad experience. because, My phone was stolen while I was cycling from my English class to mi my job. and before that, I had just downloaded a song in to my mobile and I don't had didn't have my headphones so I took held the mobile and I took very closer to mi my ear for to listen to the song. And after that Two persons people, (The plural of person is usually people. Persons IS technically a word, but it is usually only used in extremely formal speech, or legal speech) a woman, and a man in on a bike, they followed me across two streets and then, when we were totally alone in the street, they came closer to me and they stolen stole my phone from me, right in the middle of the street. really bad experience. I had that phone almost 2 years and it was still in good state condition. Inside of On it I had my photos, my numbers, my social networks, mi my email and Whatsapps, and it was all still this Open. I hope that the police someday find this these persons people, or at least my mobile. it This was my first experience with that this kind of people. In my country we say call them "Amigos de lo ajeno". Thank you.

    This is my first notebook entry : self introducing myself

    I am a chinese guy. now Currently, I am a student , but I will be graduating in the April next year. I very much like travel and climbing mountains. I have climbed as Hua Guo mountain, Yun Tai mountain, the Ling Yan mountains and so on, but I have not to yet climbed Tai mountain, so I want to climb it in the October this year. Do have any other people who is together whit me want to climb it with me? I have been traveled in Beijing, Suzhou, Shanghai, Yangzhou and so on, and now i study in Zhengjiang, so if you want to travel to Yangzhou or Suzhou, you can tall me and I can make a guide for you. Welcome to China.

     

    Very good. A few things. When you are talking about yourself, you need to use a capital I, not a lowercase i. When you are writing commas, the gap comes after the comma like this, not before the comma ,like this. Also, the ciy names you listed are all one word, and you need to capitalise the Proper names of things. For example, you dont need to capitalise the word city, but if you say Beijing, you need to use a capital letter.

    Spicy food restaurant

    Spicy food restaurant


    Today my colleagues and I went to a restaurant to have lunch. It is was (You are talking about somethign that happened in the past, so you must use past tense.) a recently opened restaurant in that the same district of as our working place. The food is was very spicy. Some of my colleagues can’t couldn't bear it, but I liked it. In my home town, most of people like spicy food.

    And The flavors of food in different places provinces in China are quite different. in China.
    In On China’s southeast coast, people normally prefer a little sweet meal. In Hunan province they like spicy food, and in SiChuan province people like spicy hot food, which is different from spicy. If you take eat too much it will make your tongue become numb.

     

    Very good job, it sounds nice. Now you have made me hungry. Just be careful to make sure you use the past tense if you are talking about something that happened in the past ("It was", instead of "it is", for example)

    Raining (Rain/Raining has only one N)

    It's been raining for several days. I have a workmate she who leaves her umbrella in the company at work, so she gets wet when the next day morning, which makes her she is so upset. She says to us and tell us : (Use quotation marks like this " at the start and end of a quote, instead of :) "If you have an umbrella in on a rainning rainy day, how in happiness happy you are." (This sentence is composed a little strangely, maybe you would say "If you have an umbrella on a rainy day, it makes you happy) and Then she complains to us "People who have umbrellas around me,they don't have a warm hearts. They watching me getting wet in the rain, but they don't share their umbrellas to with me. I am  It makes me so sad." 
    I don't think so that's true. They don't know where you want to go, and or if you need help or not, so we you couldn't can't blame them. If you ask to them: "Can we share your umbrella?", I think most people would be glad to do this, especially with a beauty.

     

    Very good. I easily understood you. I will give you three suggestions. First, when you are quoting someone (Saying exactly what they said) use quotation marks " " . Second, when using commas, use them like this, with the space after the comma, instead of like this ,with the space before the comma. Lastly, try to make sure one sentence doesn't go for too long. But good work.

    Idioms & phrasal verbs.

    How can I improve the use of phrasal verbs and idioms in my speaking? 
    I think their use is most very important and want to know how I can differentiate between them.

     

    I think the easiest way for you to do this would be to get either some television shows in your target dialect (I.e. if you are learning American english, try to get American tv shows, if you are learning British english, get British tv shows) and read a lot, especially magazines and novels. However, I am no language learning expert. All of these things will have a lot of idioms and phrasal verbs. If you hear one you don't understand and can't work out, I guess you could post it on here and ask what it means.

    How to exactly use till/untill

    I Was reading an article, where it was written- They will arrive until Tuesday.
    Will somebody explain that if I write it like -they will arrive till Tuesday.
    It is write or wrong, if wrong why.? Thanx

     

    I was reading an article, where it was written- They will arrive until Tuesday.
    Will somebody explain tell me that if I write it like this -they will arrive till Tuesday.
    is it write right or wrong. If wrong why.? Thanx (This is spelled thanks, but I think you are using the slang form on purpose, which is fine.)

     

    Both words, till and until, mean exactly the same thing, and are 100% interchangeable. Just use whichever you prefer, or whichever you feel fits the sentence better. Also, the sentence "they will arrive until Tuesday" does not make sense. If it said "they will NOT arrive until Tuesday", it would mean that they would not arrive before Tuesday. If this is the case, you can say "they will not arrive until Tuesday" or "they will not arrive till Tuesday" and it means exactly the same, and both are correct.

    Small essay about summer. Please and see if I have the any incorrect wrong sentences.

    The Summer came. who told you? (What does this mean? You would just say Summer has come, or summer came. I don't understand what you mean by 'Who told you?') Oh, the original is rain. (I don't understand this part either. The original what?) Summer rain is light blue! When summer arrived, it began to drizzle, like such as silk or smoke, in the mist of the background. (which background?) It was very beautiful. In the reservoir, the water rose, fish swim swam in the water (You have already specificed that you are talking about water, you don't need to do it again) and shrimp played in the water "hide and seek" happily. Rain dissolved into the reservoir, like drops into a large plate, splashing in a string of like pearly drops of water. The rain falls fell (You are writing in past tense. You can't change to present tense mid paragraph) on the horizon, and splashed like a puff of smoke, leaving the earth immediately with a sweet dimple. Light rain to moistens the crops, so that new life, full of vigour, gestates (this word does not make sense here, and it would be very rare to use this word in day to day conversation) is borne in the capsules full of seeds. Let them in the golden autumn procreate.

     

    The green mountain, the tree more elegant, nature becomes more air! It is summer angel! (I'm not sure what this last bit means. You need to be careful with your tenses. Overall pretty good though, I understood most of what you said.)
