I enjoy learning languages and at the moment I'm focusing on French. Because I have a fair amount of experience learning languages through language exchanges, I'm very comfortable finding things to talk about in order to practise a language. While I'd like corrections of my spoken French, I would like to document them in writing, a process that can be time consuming. Thus, extra points if you can easily use Google docs to collaboratively document new vocabulary words online. On my background: I have Taiwanese parents; I grew up attending Brazilian schools; and I have lived most of my life in the US. I use French and Portuguese at work. Also, I taught English as a Foreign Language for over 3 years right after college--mostly to adults in both Taiwan and Boston.

    Interesting topic! Remember, you are telling us about something that took place in the past so all your verbs should reflect this. It's true that colloquially you could narrate it in the present but then all your verbs would have to agree... your writing is a mixture. What you wrote is perfectly understandable (and funny) but the tenses are all over the place. 


    1st paragraph: When we were planning our first Skype call, she asked me to... 

    "Whereas" is confusing because this is a narrative of something that took place in the past. 


    2nd paragraph: My response was "no", that WASN'T the purpose of the deal (I was thinking about dating). And, another point: with my other language partners, we have only HAD audio calls, no video calls. And we WERE all satisfied to DO it this way. AND THEN I WAITED for her/his decision.


    3rd: She/He answerED that if I don't want to send to her/him a real picture of me, it's probably because I'm a "scammer" and she/he quitX the conversation.

    Please, I need your help! Thank you!

    The compliance into the care of Alzheimer patients. NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN--FOR EXAMPLE YOU COULD SAY COMPLIANCE WITH CLINICAL GUIDELINES OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANYTHING ELSE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF COMPLIANCE YOU ARE REFERRING TO

    During my three years of studies, I TOOK a lot of practical training courses ON? hospital establisHments and services. 
    In one of them, I EXPERIENCED a situation which LED me to numerous reflexions [OK BUT AWKWARD. I WOULD PROBABLY SAY "taught me to some lessons learnt]. So, I decided to [draw up] [FOCUS] my dissertation on this subject :

    "To what extent, will the nurse in EHPAD (Etablissement d'Hébergement pour Personnes Agées Dépendantes : Dependant old people's home [HOUSING FOR DEPENDENT SENIORS]) reach the compliance WITH the daily care OF Alzheimer patients opposed to ?"  SORRY EVEN WITH THE CORRECTION I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT? DO YOU MEAN "TO WHAT EXTENT DO EGPAD NURSES PROVIDE APPROPRIATE CARE FOR ALZHEIMER PATIENTS?" 

    I realized that THERE IS A LARGE POPULATION OF ELDERLY personS WITH DEMENTIA. Because of THEIR fragility, THEIR age and THEIR pathologies, we often find THEM IN our care services. I found IT interesting to write about the methods of management of patients with dementia.

    Writing FROM my FRAME OF reference, I noticed that there was an impressive [number of documents] [LITERATURE] on this [matter] [TOPIC]. I understood the importance of [the searchs on this pathology] [WHAT DO YOU MEAN HERE]. The consulted works brought me new knowledge ==>[I LEARNT FROM MY LITERATURE SEARCH].

    During the interviews with the nurses working in EHPAD, I [deepened the field methods of sick person care] [NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN, DID YOU REFORM THE PROCESS OF CARE AT EHPAD?].

    In conclusion, I took note that [theX] knowlegde of the disease and the patient was crucial for [theX] better care.
    With adapted training courses, the nurses reached a better method to the approval of the care. [I THINK I MISSED THE CENTRAL POINT OF YOUR NARRATIVE. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOVE ABOUT AN ADAPTIVE TRAINING COURSE, OR ABOUT APPROVAL OF CARE, WHICH I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND... AND I WORK IN THE FIELD OF PUBLIC HEALTH]

    Funny scary story

    One night, I was staying at school to work on mathematics when I decided to go home.
    While I was walking through the school, I heard someone nearBY..
    I [got afraid] because it was quite late, and there was not a lot people out there.
    Besides, I had to walk behind some containers to reach a crossroad and then find the school’s door.
    [I was arriving in the crossroad] when I saw the people that I HAD heard before. [She] [THIS WOMAN] seemed to come straight TOWARD me so I got more scared. I was staring at her and starting TO FOLLOW another path when it turned out that she had not even noticed my presence and she was just [following] her own way.


    [got afraid] more common would be I GOT SCARED
    [I was arriving in the crossroad] UNDERSTANDABLE BUT AWKWARD. I WOULD HAVE SAID [I was at an intersection...]

    [She] YOU DID NOT INTRODUCE HER BEFORE SO THE READER HAS NO IDEA WHO THIS IS

    [following] THIS IS OK BUT SOUNDS A BIT NON NATIVE--I'D SAY SOMETHING LIKE [SHE WAS JUST GOING ABOUT HER DAY]

    Hello! Please correct me!

    Hi everyone, I'm Dhyana, I'm trying to improve my English.

    I'm very insecure, and I'm always scared to speak in English and to say something stupid.

    I can read and listen to it without problem, but I have a lot of difficulties speaking it.

    In italy I can't practice it, because I live in a place where there aren't opportunities to talk with foreign people, so I only listen to videos on Youtube or watch films and TV-series in English

    I also read a lot of articles in English, but when it's time for me to speak directly, I can't say a word.

    I really want to improve my English because I like travelling the world and I want to meet and talk with a lot of people, learn about their cultures and traditions and make a lot of friends all around the world.

    Please correct me so that I can improve and learn from my mistakes.


    P.s.: If someone would like to chat with me anytime, I would be very happy!

    I can help you with Italian if you are interested!
