Hola! My name is Raven and I'm from the USA. I'm currently dedicated learning Spanish, but am learning both ASL and Mandarin Chinese on and off. I'm learning for two reasons. One, I love languages in general. I've always found them interesting. Two, I'd love to be able to communicate with people when I travel and get new expierences through direct interaction with the culture. On italki, I hope to find people I can connect with that speak my target language and are willing to be patient with me while conversing in Spanish. I'd also love the ame with ASL, but not currently with Mandarin, as I am not even through introduction to using tones yet. I'm very friendly and willing to talk to any non-native English speakers to either help or just answer questions, although I will not delve into my personal life.

    It is an expression, and basically means that they cannot get rid of it, even though they try. It does not leave them.

    a formal letter

    Hello!
    It would be interesting to know what native english think about my writing. Does it looks like a natural english letter? :)

    You saw an advertisement for a tennis course in England but you have one or two problems and can’t stay the whole course.
    Write a letter to the course director. In your letter:
    • explain your interest in the course
    • describe your problems
    • find out if a refund is possible

    Dear Sir/Madam, 

    I am writing to apply for the tennis course advertised in a sport magazine last week.
    I am fond of tennis and have always wanted to improve my skill in playing this amazing sports game. When I found out that my favorite tennis player was going to lead the course, I had made my decision immediately.

    However, there is one problem which will not give me any opportunity to finish the course. I am not a citizen of England and unfortunately, my visa is going to expire in 2 months. With regard to this, I will not be able to attend the 3rd month of the course.

    Considering the rule about necessity to pay the whole course in advance, I would like to know if it is agreeable to refund a part of money for the course because of the mentioned reason.

    It would be gratefully appreciated to receive your answer as soon as possible.

    Yours faithfully,
    Dmitry Petrov
