Hi guys! Xavier

Hello everyone! It is a pleasure for me to bein this big community people, where we can share our languages, and help everyone that wants to learn a language.
I have been living in the UK for 10 months, and I would like to meet people who are interested in an exchange for my language (Spanish) for English, and to make friends.
I am new here and I do not know how to can start. Do you have any advice for me?

Phrasal verbs

Hi people! How is your day going?

Today I'd like to talk about what I think about phrasal verbs.
In my opinion it is one of the hardest things about the English.
If you compare English to Spanish, many people can assure that English is easier,
because of the tenses are much less complicated. But on the other hand English has phrasal verbs!
The special topic that I didn't know anything about before being in the pre-intermediate level.
What I mean is that in Spanish schools, the teachers don't teach the students about it when you begin with the language. That is the mothership! Because when you discover it you can notice that it is really difficult, and you have your own vocabulary but the problem appears when you are face to face with an English speaker. And you say "OH! I can't understant anything! Why are they using a lot of words that I can't guess the sentence fully?." ("in its totally" is a bit formal - also, you don't need a full stop(.) after a question mark (?)) The point is I can hear words that I know, almost all the sentence, but there is something I can't make out.
There are "many many many" phrasal verbs and you need to study it and practice with it as much as you can figure.

The problem I think about is:

10 years ago when you began learning english at the school, the teachers only taught you the colours... more and more useless vocabulary, which you always end up forgeting almost all of it.

My conclusion is, I hope nowadays that teachers in Spain are teaching better than the teachers I had, taught to me.







I will be very glad if someone wants correct it to me, Thanks have a nice day.

I'm sleepy

I am so sleepy, but I am trying to commit to writing one notebook entry here everyday.

I do not want to spill my personal information or write my feelings here and let strangers read it. Ha!
I am sharing my other thoughts instead.

So here it goes. . .

It's 1:30 am here in my country. I'm living in a dormitory and I'm the only one awake right now, it seems.
I think I should really go to sleep.

...

Good night!
