Ryan knows basics so it was more easy to make some small talk in Turkish. He can also convert basic structures from one form to another. With regular studying and patience, I am sure he will improve his speaking more than average. Good luck Ryan

    Just another day

    Hi everyone! great to see you again. It is raining here in Veracruz. It was a good day, I went to school at in the morning and then when I came back I was talking talked with a friend, maybe it's not an interesting day but at least for me "It was a good day" I think talking with a good friend is one of the best things you can do in your daily day.

    Greetings everyone and thanks for reading. It really helps me that when you correct me.

    Diary of a Southern Spaniard in Norway. A true story. Part one.

    August 13th
    Today I moved into my new home in northern Norway. What I have is work and peace ! Everything is so beautiful here ... The mountains are so majestic . Almost I can not wait to see them covered with snow. How good to have left behind the heat , humidity , traffic , tourists and unemployment. This is life!

    October 16th
    Norway is the most beautiful place I've seen in my life. The leaves have gone through all the shades of color between red and orange. I went for a walk in the woods and first saw a my first deer. They are so agile , so elegant , is and are one of the most colorful(? beautiful) animals I have ever seen . This has to be paradise. I hope it snows soon. This is life !

    November 12th
    Soon begin deer hunting season begins soon. I can not imagine anyone wanting to kill one of these creatures of God. Winter came . I hope it snows soon. This is life!

    December 5th
    It snowed last night . I woke up and found everything covered in a white coat . Looks like a postcard ... a movie. I went out to remove snow from the driveway. I made a snowman and then had a snowball fight with my neighbors ( I won ) and when the snowplow happened came again , I had to re-clean the snow from the driveway. What a beautiful snow! . What a nice place ! Norway is life.

    December 12th
    Last night it snowed again. I love it. The snowplow came back to dirty my driveway, but good that's okay. . . What can we do anyway? this is life ...

    December 20th
    Last night it snowed again. I could not completely clear the driveway because before the end I finished passed the snowplow passed again, so today I could not go to work. I'm a little tired of cleaning the snow. Damn snowplow ! What life is this? 

    December 24th
    Snow fell again last night , or rather . . . white shit . I have my hands feel broken because of using the blade shovel. I think the snowplow is watching me from the corner and waiting for to pass when i finished to cleaning . Shit life!

    December 25th
    Merry White Christmas , but really white , because they are it's full of covered in white shit . If I catch the guy who drives the snowplow , I swear I 'll kill him. I do not understand why they do not use more salt on the roads to melt the ice faster .

    to be continued...

    Funny stuff, Juan! Just watch your use of punctuation, you don't need spaces before commas, periods, etc.

    Learning english...

    Hello everyone!! I'm learning english and I'm going to an english academy every day because I want pass the B1 exam. In my highschool I always passed the exams successfully but now I realize that I don't know so as much english like as I believed. My english teacher is an english native and she is a good teacher. Today, she asked to us, what would you do if you won one million of euros? All my classmates didin't know what to say. She started to laugh and our homework is to write an story about this.

    Diary of a Southern Spanish in Norway. A true story. Part two.

    December 27th
    Last night fell still even more of that white shit . It took three days locked (? unclear... in the house? if so: I spent three days locked in the house.). I go around when I have to and use the shovel to clear snow after passing the snowplow passes . I can not go anywhere . My car is buried under a mountain of black snow . The news says tonight will drop 10 inches of snow will drop tonight. I can not believe it.

    January 4th
    Finally , today I leave. I went to get food and a deer crossed in front of my car and I killed him . My car is broken . Shit ! The car repair will cost me three thousand euros. These fucking animals should be poisoned . Wish the hunters had finished with them all last year . The hunting season should last the entire year.

    March 15th
    I slipped and I broke my leg. Last night I dreamed I was at the beach lying on a hammock and sipping a mojito .

    May 3th
    When they removed the cast , I took the car to the mechanic. I He said below the bottom was rusted because of the salt thrown into the street. Who would think to do that? Is not there no other way to melt ice ?

    May 10th
    I returned back to Spain . This is life ! How delicious amazing/beautiful/divine! Heat , humidity , traffic, tourists and I have no job. The truth is that anyone who comes to mind like living in Norway so lonely and cold is because he is crazy . This is life!

    This is a joke , Norway is an amazing country in summer.

    What I learned at the school. (Thank you for your corrections)

    I´m a teacher but in primary school. I prefer to start my text clarifiying this because I´ve been thought thinking about what we teach at the in schools.

    Because, where is the education for the emotions, for the feellings? The government tells us what we must to teach. I´d like to know how as would be the world would be if we had received emotional education. Surely the rest of the world would go be better. For example for the kids could take the place of another, recognize their feelings, and give comfort with simple gestures.

    That These are simple situations with big learnings implications.

    Describing a person

    I can still remember my physics teacher, when I was a child and I was studying at a secondary school. It was in my first course after primary school.
    This teacher looked really serious at first, and very strict. You could pass one hour, sit down in your chair, and not even don't blink an eye. Even some students even used to call him a/the crazy physicist, because he was very slim, maybe skinny; he had a deep, dark look, grey careless messy hair, and he looked very nervous all the time.
    I'm not sure, but I believe he could do you become in make you a good student, because you didn't have to just know the lessons, you had to understand the lessons.
    In spite of that, he recognized the worth of a student when he was a hard worker.
    In my opinion, I guess he only made his job, perhaps he didn't give importance (unclear meaning), but some people need to know that his their teachers could get angry if their students they don't do their best.
    I finished my secondary school and I went at the university to college… in fact, it is has been a long time from these those days, but I still think highly of this teacher.

    Patagonia 2013.

    Hello :)

    The past ten days I've been out on a trip in Patagonia, located in the South of Argentina. It was all organised and coordinated by 15 students of tourism, including me. The most remarkable point part about it was the fact that most of the passengers were students from all over the world doing internships in my university, which made it a great opportunity, at least for me, to practise my English and get to know about lots of different cultures.

    The first few days I was literally boiling because of the heat, which is weird because Patagonia is well known for its cold weather, but those days the sun was so bright I got a little tanned, and I even had to buy a pair of shorts! Crazy!

    But sadly, the weather was not good for all of us, when it was my time to coordinate the big group of passengers along with two friends, it rained for three days non stop, everyone was feeling ill and every excursion we did ended a little messed up.

    Anyway, I spent had a great time there, we've visited so many interesting and amazing places, such as the Nahuel Huapi National Park, Lago Puelo, the Lanin Volcano and so much more. It was good fun and I'm happy with the result and my mark, I passed the subject!

    A marvellous village in Galicia

    Good Morning to everybody!!

    Today is a rainy day in my city. The clouds are black and it's raining since for the past three days ago. I remembered when we went to the beach in the summer, and swam into the sea. What a marvellous moments in life!!

    The summer is my favourite season because you can do a lot of things outdoors, like walking, riding a bike, drinking something on a terrace, and going to the beach of course. This summer like others, we went to Corrubedo, a litlle village in Galicia. Corrubedo is very beautiful because it has a little seaport in the center of the village and three beaches. The people are very nice and friendly and you can do find friends easily. The food is delicious, the there you can find prawns, mussles, spider crabs, and all seafood that you want.

    Near to Corrubedo you can visit a lot of village like La Puebla, Ribeira, etc.. but I think so that none of them are as beatiful as Corrubedo.

    This is my second post in my diary, I hope that you have enjoyed this. ;-)
