Finding a language partner! Hi everyone, It's been while since I started to find language partners online to practice. However, until now I found just few people that are serious about the topic, most of the other people that respond to my messages disappear after some conversations. It's a bit frustrating when people aren't consistent with what they said, but I guess is just the way it is. I hope I can find a least two more people to practice speaking, so I can also learn the different English accents that exist around the world. Does anyone have any tips to find serious languages partners? I mean, I find italki a very good community, but maybe there are additional ways to find people who want to learn my languages that I'm not aware of. I hope you guys can share your ideas with me, so I can find some nice people to practice spoken English. Regards PS: My native languages is Spanish, If you want to learn it I can help you with that. Seriously!

Thinking of or thinking in? Hi folks, Can anybody explain which one is the right expression and why? if you can share some examples would be great! Regards Luis

Prepositions Usage: how to avoid the misuse of them? Hi everyone, I would like to ask about the most effective way to dominate the prepositions usage. Is just that there are so many, with a lot of exceptions that I always do mistakes while using prepositions. I know that there are prepositions of place, time and direction, but there are many other prepositions that I don't know exactly when to use. Does anybody know a method, resource, book, website, etc. that can help to deeply understand how and when use each preposition? Thanks in advance! Luis

Learning English while reading? Hi, I realize that in order to be really proficient in English you have to learn a lot of new words and meanings, so you have more resources in your head to let others understand your message clearly and concisely. To achieve that goal I was thinking in find a book from where I can learn English grammar and at the same time practice reading. I would classify my English level as intermediate (I hope so...), so I'm looking for stuff that shows me information that I don't know yet. The idea that I have in mind is to become a bilingual copywriter, and to be successful in that regard I have to have enough skills to draw ideas by using text. In the beginning I thought that get this skill will be very hard, but as I keep practicing the fact of expressing my ideas is becoming easier. To avoid make this message too long, I would like to ask everybody who check this notebook to share their advice of good books written in English that can help to improve the grammar proficiency. If you don't know any book, your suggestions will be equally welcome. Thanks!
