Hello, my name is Jenny and I have been an English and French teacher for 3 years. I was born in England and I grew up in France. I have been traveling for 8 years during which I have learned how to communicate and converse with people around the world. English is the most useful language to know. It doesn't matter what your level is, you can start talking and improving today! I became an English and French teacher by teaching privately in London. Afterwards, I taught in a school in Japan, Mexico and now I teach in a language school in central London. I have taught all ages: from 2 years old to 85 years old! I can teach any levels, any types of conversation and grammar. It doesn't matter if you are shy or unsure, the best way to progress is to talk. I will help you with your flow, rhythm, to structure your thoughts, teaching you new vocabulary, grammar expressions and ways of keeping a conversation going. Aussi je parle Francais car j'ai grandi en France de l'age de 4 ans jusque mes 16 ans et ma famille habite toujours la-bas. J'enseigne le Francais depuis 3 ans. Je peux vous aider avec votre prononciation, votre rythme et vocabulaire. Peu importe votre niveau, il faut commencer a l'utiliser aujourd'hui pour progresser! (je sais mes accents ne fonctionnent pas sur mon clavier aujourd'hui,desole) I know how hard it is to learn a new language as I study Spanish and Japanese and I have been juggling two languages my whole life. I wish you all the strength and determination to keep on learning. Thank you and I hope to speak with you soon!

    D29:Nobel lost its heir of peace!

    Sometimes, it takes too long to recognise someone is worthy of what they are doing and their glory remains in the shadow of oblivion!
    The eminent figure, I am going to talk about, is known by most people due to his nobility and warm and peaceful attitude. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, in short, M.K Gandhi or simply, Gandhi whom people consider as a beacon of peace, is the person in the limelight of my topic today.
    We all know about the Nobel peace prize. The recipient of Nobel Peace prize is only selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, but Nobel prize recipients, other than the peace category, are selected by Sweden.
    Now, let's look at why Gandhi, being a potential deserving candidate, was not chosen for the Nobel peace prize! This topic has been widely discussed for quite some time even by various members of the Nobel Committee. The committee has confirmed that Gandhi was nominated for the peace prize in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, and finally, before his assassination in January 1948. His demise was greatly regretted by the then members of Nobel Committee.
    In 2006, Heir Lundestad, the then Secretary of Norwegian Nobel Committee said, "The greatest omission in our 106 years history is undoubtedly that Mahatma Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace prize. Gandhi could do without the Nobel Peace prize, whether Nobel committee can do without Gandhi is the question."
    In 1948, after the death of Gandhi, the Nobel Committee declined to give the award on the basis of "there was no suitable living candidate". That's why in 1948, the Nobel Peace prize was not awarded to anyone! But when in 1989, Dalai Lama was awarded the  peace prize, the chairman of the committee said that this was in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatmas Gandhi.
    Better late than never: finally, Nobel found the nobility!
    May all live with a Nobel heart and a peaceful mind which is no less than a Nobel peace prize:)

    My first written piece

    Hello! My name is Isabel and I'm studying English. I decided to learn this language because it is very important for work.
    I don't like English much, I prefer French because it is the language of love and because for me it is easier to talk, but English is more easy to write.
    I would like learn this language rapidly, so I'm going to study every day and I'm going to write on this (web)page often. I like Italki so much! It is very useful.
    At the moment, it's very difficult to write in English. I can think in Spanish and French, however, I must make a great effort to remember the words in English.
    Can somebody recommend a website to practise listening?
    Thank you!!

    Thank you Felipe B for your comment. Yes you have the right idea to go by context, elimination , association and then imagery before resorting to translation. at which point there is nothing you can do. ha ha, eventually we have to find a way of translation if it's from a text. if it's in a conversation then it is possible to let go of the exact meaning or ask questions and examples until you understand just that.

    That is brilliant that you are using Penzu for your diary entries..and making them Vane! Well done!


    Tami I found this website with classic or popular stories aimed at Spanish speaking children: http://www.mundoprimaria.com/cuentos-infantiles-cortos/ 


    Marcin thank you very much for your input. I DO think it's an interesting technique and could be put into practice by having that guest or friend at the beginning and then imagining them following you after.


    Thank you all again for your positive feedback!

    Hello Sithira and thank you for your comment.

    Self-hypnosis is an interesting concept for learning a language. I am not familiar with this method.

    Could you tell us more?

    Hi Bianca and thank you for your comment.

    I'm not sure which other language you are studying but reported speech is hard in English, and I suspect it may be in others too.

    My advice is to practise by retelling jokes or very short stories. You can watch a news story and try and retell what happened or even what they said on the weather forecast. Any live information you want to pass on. You can practise with your friends by pretending one won't talk to the other. So you can be the go-between for the other two people. For example: " Tell Susie I'm not talking to her but ask her where did she put my pen?" and you would say " Hannah told me to tell you that she's not talking to you but asked where did you put her pen?". You can even watch a scene from a film or series and a friend can quiz you on what happened, etc...

    Practice makes perfect! Good luck!

    Hi Bella and thank you for your positive feedback!

    I'm sorry that some of the links don't work in China. I know there are some odd limitations. I'm sure there are other videos about fillers on Youtube. Just type in "fillers in English" or "fillers speaking" and you should find others. You can also search on Google using those key words.
