    Eerste tekst Hallo! Dit is mijn eerste iTalki tekst. Ik kom uit de V.S. maar ik woon nu in Nederland. Ik woon in Nederland al 10 maanden dus ik probeer nog steeds Nederlands te leren. Het is niet makkelijk maar het is ook niet zo moeilijk. Ik vind het Nederlands leuk! Ik lees vaak in het Nederlands (ik lees stripverhalen/beeldverhalen) maar ik vind het moeilijk om te praten. Ik probeer in het Nederlands maar veel mensen spreken met mij in het engels. Soms heb ik niet zo goed gehoord dus ik zeg, “Sorry? Nog een keer?” en de mensen met de Engels beginnen. Wat vervelend!

    A Day Passed Without The Meaning

    I felt tired and bored with work when I woke up in the morning. I lied lay lazily on the floor then slowly texted a message to inform our administrator for of my absence. My boss was angry, but It it didn't make sense to me. I felt fell into to sleep again and I got up at 8:30 AM. I had a whole free day , but I did nothing. I and Lin Lin and I (my couch suffer) just found a place for breafast, then went back to our room to see watch movies saparately. We had a late breakfast so we skept skipped our lunch. I slept again. When I woke up, Lin went for a massage. I took my motorbike and went around. Suddenly, I saw Lin walking on the pavement. Then we travelled (rode is better) without helmets. We were catched caught by a Cop cop when we were heading to the super market. Of course, I got a punishment was punished for my mistake. And Now now I am lying on the floor and feeling bad. A day passed without the meaning.

    This is quite good! However, you have a few problems. When you use "to lie" meaning "<em>to tell a lie</em>", the past tense is "lied." When you use "to lie" meaning "<em>to lie on the floor</em>", the past tense is "lay." So, in your first sentence the past tense should be "lay."

     

    Here's the conjugation of "to lie" = (http://en.bab.la/conjugation/english/lie)

     

    I hope that helps!

    Today I had an oral ulcer, so bad!Too much pressure recently

     

    ----

    Today I had an oral ulcer. It hurt so badly! I've been under a lot of pressure recently.

     

    If you want to say that you've been very stressed or busy recently, you can say:

     

    1. I have been under a lot of pressure recently.

    2. I have been very stressed lately.

    3. I have been very busy lately.

    4. Lately, I have been very overwhelmed.

    motivation

    you should believe in yourself, you can do it, if you sid you cant, you wont do anything.

     

    ---- Corrections Below----

    Motivation:

    You should believe in yourself. You can do it. If you say you can't, you won't do anything.

     

    Comment: Watch out for punctuation and capitalization! The first two commas should be periods. In the third sentence, "sid" should probably be "say." The words "can't" and "won't" should always contain an apostrophe because they are contractions. Hope this helps!

    Ik vind de app "Memrise" heel handig voor het Nederlands!

     

    I'm a native English speaker, too. I'm still at the basic level, but "Memrise" is really good for boosting your vocabulary levels quickly. It has both a website and an app for phones, so it's really accessible. Plus, you can create your own courses, so it's great for tailor-made study.

    For sentence construction, I really liked this website's explanation: (http://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=WordOrder.00)

     

    Other than that? I read a ton of Dutch language comic books. Mostly Donald Duck because it's cheap and they sell it in Albert Heijn. But that might not be helpful if you're not living in the Netherlands.
