Roger and I have had quit a few lessons and he is an exceptional student. He will be working more with different teachers to continue his learning. One thing about Roger is that he is in many ways a perfectionist. He wants to be great at everything he does!

    At home

    Today is another day where I’ m at home. It’s ninth day because in my country we should be here for the health emergency. I just want this situation to get better. My family call me and talk about them and they ask me how I am<s style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">?</s>. This is a time for reflection.

    Es lo que veo que se puede corregir. Algunos "typos", el nueve va en ordinal, pues entiendo que dices "noveno día", o podrías decir "it's day nine".
    Saludos

    Well, we use "liberar" to talk about freedom, about something or somebody that was not allowed to move freely, and now it can. Example: "Es posible liberar todos los presos políticos", "Liberar a su madre del encierro era importante", "El hombre fue liberado luego de 5 años" Although I can think in "librar" also like something related to freedom, we normally use "liberar" for that purpose. "Librar" in addition mean to fight, for instance: "Queria librar una guerra contra sus hermanos", "Librar con valentia las dificultades", "Es una batalla que debemos librar" "Soltar" is related to make something free also. "Soltar el perro que estaba encadenado"

    You question is about the word "Elogio"?? As a noun an "elogio" is when somebody recognize that you are excellent in doing something, or at least he/she let you know how good are you at something. In this case Luis Felipe made an "elogio" to Gustavo Diaz. The reason for the Surprise was that Gustavo Diaz seemed to be responsible for a massacre occurred in a place called Tlatelolco

    "Asi" is frequently used to make an example on how something is or should be. Examples: "Asi se hace", "Asi deberias comportarte", "Asi no lograrás nada en la vida", there may be another uses I guess but the most common is that one. "Tanto", I'm not sure if you are referring to the one that is used to compare or the one that is kind of a connector. Examples: To compare: "No estudia tanto como yo" Connector: "El inglés es importante, por lo tanto deberias aprenderlo" "No llores, no es para tanto" "Tanto estudiar me está agotando" "Veo las noticias para estar al tanto de lo sucedido" As a connector I just realized it has a lot of uses :)

    I think that Colombia is one of the countries that get the largest amount of holidays in the world. We have 17 holidays in total. Most of them are because of the religion

    News have a great impact on the perception that people have on a country, and since the last year I think, many news from Spain are about financial crisis, so in this way, so much people thinks that it´s a generalized problem. The curious thing is that I was talking with a friend of mine that lives there since 4 years ago, and she's not been affected by the "Crisis", so, I don't think that it is as crititcal as many people thinks

    Military service I was reading about military service in my country and the complains that some people have about it and I felt with anger because recently the institution that recruits people is making some operating to obligate young people to go and spend at least one year making military activities. I mean, some of them are working and they are led to a military station just because they don't have a card that proves that they can't join to the military. I think that at least the institution that recruits people should have another procedures that avoid this kind of situations for people who is working for their families, or people who is studying at the moment. In my case, I was not in military because my brother, who was there, told me that my time would be better invested by studying. He was there because he was turning into a problem for my mother, because he just went to partyes and he didn't make anything at home.
