Hola!
What makes me happy is to fullfill my goals. One of the most important ones is to become fluent in English, French and Korean. That is what I want here.

Gracias!

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hey! I don't know if it will work or not, but I am greatly interested in learning languages. So, currently, I am willing to study Arabic because I studied Arabic at my university as a second language, but unfortunately I remember nothing. My native lang. is Azerbaijani and Russian. I also speak English and little Turkish. And yeah.. my hobbies.. i am interested in carpet weaving.

 

 

 

Nice :)  Good job.  I've always wanted to learn how to weave.. it sounds fun.

When you're speaking quicker or feel like being a little lazy, it's pronounced like "ak-sh-ly," but if you're emphasizing the word, it might sound like "ak-ch-ly." But since I'm a lazy speaker, I almost always pronounce is with a "SH." Here are some sentences someone might say differently: There's actually a lake near my house. (Ak-sh-ly) vs. Actually... I don't have any left. (Ak-ch-ly) Some people use both in either situation.

A story from Tahrir Square in Cairo

I was sitting on the ground in Tahrir Square when I suddenly heard this voice, a strange voice that was coming from one side of the Square. People started to worry  people started to and shout, "Over here, everyone! Some gangs are coming. They have knives, Molotov bombs and swords." I ran over there to see what was going on. I found this horrible scene: 

To be continued.

Your correction will be highly appreciated.

My name is Ahmed and I'm studying IT !

I'm still learning English. I just finished an ESL program at UVU, but I think I need more practice in English to improve my speaking and grammar.

 

Practically no mistakes! 

 

Do the movies reflect the American culture? (correct me please)

I was thinking to myself, do the movies reflect the American culture?
A lot of people think that the American movies reflect the American culture. They think that all high schools in America are full of partying, and guys and girls drinking and sleeping with each other. I talked once with an American girl and she told me, "Hell, no, this is totally not true." Some people are like this, but we can't generalize".

I leave it open for all of you to tell me your opinion.

 

I don't really know what to say. I do think it's wrong to generalize, but at the same time, that's how my high school was.  There are definitely people who do not do these things, and a lot of schools are better than others.  However, to say that most Americans don't do this, in my opinion, isn't true.  There are a lot who don't, but probably just as many or more who do.

 

I want to learn English. Who can help me?

I am learning English because I want to make friends from all over the world. 
My native language is Arabic, and i grew up in Muscat, Oman.

Very good. :)
