You are a very nice person and I'm impressed that you can already read hiragana and katakana, and you know how to introduce yourself. I'm sure you'll improve and I'm so happy to work with you. Great job and thank you for today :)

    Diary

    Today Is my first day starting to form new good habits. It is not the first time I've tried, so, let's see how it goes.
    One of my objectives is to learn written English and French, therefore I made the decision to keep events in my diary, here.
    I got up at 10 instead of 6 I wished. Then I saw the opening of the Olympiad in Sochi, it was so amazing, parallel to the
    process of translating the course in French, which I will give this semester. I'm really afraid to teach in French
    with my current level B2. For a lunch I ate soup, cooked by my girlfriend. The next time we  meet is 
    in April, so I'm unhappy. I was talking with my mother via Skype for an hour , we discussed my sister's problems at school. 

     

    corrected it for you just changed some words and rearranged some of the sentences. :)

    you can use on in several ways here are some examples. I have an appointment on Tuesday. or is the oven on?. here are some. examples for at. meet me at the bar or what time is it at?. examples for has. someone has to go to the store or Jessica has my computer. examples for had, I had a book or jenny had a dog but now she dosent. so it can be used in different ways but the main two ways are in question format or when you are talking about someone else. ;)

    there is no super fast way to learn English it depends on you and how easy or difficult you find learning a language. but I would recommend taking lessons on italki and finding a language partner to practice your English with. also try looking up English resources a good site is memrise it can help you learn a lot of new words.

    you were gone means you went somewhere but then came back again like going to the shops. you went means where you travelled to e.g you went to the concert. you are gone means you are gone for good and that you are gone never to return where as you were gone just means you were away for a while.

    Anne is right although this would not be commonly used In the northern parts of the uk mainly a man might say alright love. however a large part of the country would consider this strange and certainly not polite.

    I reminisce about when I was in school, I have always preferred English class, I loved it. For this reason I have passed almost all my life trying to study and understand English and my own language Spanish. In fact, I do not only love the grammar and its language system but also its culture. I love learning and research all related to the process of acquisition from mother language toward second or foreign languages. My focus is in the Interlanguage process where the second language is developed and constituted. Learners tend to build the system of the second language on the first. Therefore, an interesting process occurs called "transfer" or "cross-linguistic influence".

    This is an exceptional process because learners create different strategies for its learning. It is for example, when they turn to a literal translation, namely using the same structure of the sentence of their own first language that end up being different in the target language.

    It is common to find a literal translation of English to Spanish like "cuando una palabra mira semejante a “in this sentence we can see the word "mira" is a literal translation of “look”. But "parecer" is better than "mirar" since this last refers to looking at an object.
    Even in this same text in which I am writing there are many structures and words it has in common with my first language Spanish. In my case, I realise that I always put the article "the", that is not necessary to use in English, in Spanish almost is used to referring to names of specific places or things.

    Well… I wanted to share with you my first approach to practicing writing English text. Thanks, if you can correct my errors and comment about this topic I will express my gratitude to you, since this is my topic of my PhD thesis. In my next written text I will explain more about other errors and structures that come of transfer phenomena.

     

    this was really well written not many corrections were required here. :)
