Hey guys! This is Jan Elie, I'm a Spanish and English teacher here on italki. I think one of the most important aspects of learning a language is to practice! So that's why i'm here looking for a Spanish and Portuguese language partner. I am very serious about learning languages, so i'm looking for someone who: 1. Is serious about learning languages 2. Is available to set up a weekly schedule of when we will meet (my schedule is very flexible) 3. Preferably a low-intermediate to advance level of Spanish, Portuguese, or English 4. Friendly :) I hope to meet you soon. Let's get started :D

Tes questions sont toujours pertinentes et tu oses dire quand tu ne comprends pas, ce qui contribue aussi à tes progrès! Bravo pour ces efforts durant ces derniers mois, tu es autonome même si des progrès sont toujours possible. Le meilleur pour la suite et au plaisir!

Bon travail sur les prépositions et adverbes de temps. Ta prononciation est bonne et tu t'appliques à rendre certaines structures ou prononciation systématiques ("préfèrerais"). Relis les commentaires dans skype et à mardi pour corriger ce que tu auras fait!

    Hey Elsa! Has she arrived yet? ---> You do not know if the girl arrived. More doubt is expressed in this sentence. You do not express if you have any information about the girl. Hasn't she arrived yet? ----> You are not certain if the girl arrived BUT there is less doubt that she arrived. This type of negation is when you think you know an answer but there is still some doubt. Please let me know if you need more help. Jan

    ¡¡Mi experiencia en el trabajo de voluntariado, era el de ser responsable de los juegos Olímpicos en Aténas en 2004!! Fue una experiencia única, donde otras mil personas como yo ayudaron con los juegos. Más especificamente, yo trabajaba como guía de estacionamiento en el parking privado del estadio para los V.I.P.'s - los políticos, militares, judiciales y personas invitadas del extranjero. De lo que yo puedo recordar, usaba la mayoría del día mis conocimientos del Inglés y Español (ya no tengo la fluidéz en español como la tengo en Inglés) y al menos usaba mi lengua materna! ¡¡Además, conocí a mucha gente extranjera, a la que podría ver y comunicar repetidamente!! Por último, debo decir que trabajar en el voluntariado fue una experiencia estupenda la que tiene más valor por la experiencia que por el dinero!!

    My favorite festival is Holi. In India, there are so many festivals but I love Holi. In this festival people gather in a single place or together go to homes to apply color (paint?) on each other's faces. They hug and receive sweets. People enjoy tearing their clothes, putting them in water tanks etc. Please let me know if you have any more questions!

    The best gift is that they already have their children which is life. It's an unbelievable gift that every child gets from their parents. Looks good to me! Maybe you should elaborate more so I can better evaluate what you need to work on. Elaborate= to express with more detail

    My favorite TV series is See because it has a new vision and storyline that hasn't been repeated before. This series reminds me of the book Blindness which was awarded the Nobel prize. "Because" is a conjunction so it can not start a sentence or have any punctuation before it. Other examples include: because, and, but, etc. In formal writing the tv series "See" would be put in italics because it is a title that we want to bring emphasis to. We need to use the passive voice "has not been repeated" because the emphasis is not on "who" is in the story but the object "the storyline" is the focus. Change the order of "Blindness book". We are talking about the book which is why it goes first. "Blindness" is not an adjective in this example, it is just the title. "The" is added in front of "Nobel prize" because it is a specific prize that is singular in this case. P.S. I love this series! The guy from Aqua man is a good actor :)
