Hi, I'm a New Zealander who has been living and traveling overseas for five years - I'm now back in NZ settling into a new city and job. My favourite past time is mountain-biking and this is often combined with traveling - which I find fascinating. I originally started learning Italian as I worked for an Italian-owned company in England. As learning a second language is not common in New Zealand I thought it a really good opportunity to do so. After a slow start to my learning, I've discovered an enthusiasm for the language I did not know I had. From italki I hope to have the opportunity to improve my conversational Italian now that I have no other lessons or Italian in my day to day life.

    The Italian Aperitif

    When I go to the pub with my friends, I usually drink a glass of white or red whine. I love having an aperitif in the evening on the Saturday(s). The barman also brings me some crisps and nuts, but in some pubs you can also eat pasta, sandwiches, crackers, or snacks and toghether with the drinks . In Italy, an aperitif is like a dinner. The aperitif is cheap although you eat many things.

     

    <em>You can say </em>Saturday<em> or </em>Saturdays<em> - I would use Saturdays as the plural shows you don't mean one specific Saturday, this is also why you don't use </em>the <em>before </em>Saturdays.

    <em></em><em>I wouldn't say </em><em></em>together with the drinks <em> as </em>together<em> & </em>with<em> mean much the same thing,</em> together <em>is redundant. I would just say </em>...snacks with drinks<em>. </em><em>Again, you don't need the </em>the<em> before </em>drinks<em> as you're not talking about specific drinks.</em> <em>Also, I think it's important to put the</em> <em></em>or <em>before </em>snacks <em>to show that you don't have to order all of those things with drinks.</em>

    First entry

    Hello! I'm Guillaume and I'm studying English. Like many people I learnt English in secondary school. But after that, at university, I didn't practice it for a long time. Last year I decided to learn it again. English is very important for me because I'm a scientist. So I try to read and listen to English every day. Now I understand quite well, but I still need to talk more so I can learn to speak English fluently.

    Vacation

    Hello people!!
    I am a person who loves traveling and mainly staying in hostels!
    In this kind of accomodation you meet people from all around the world, so why I do need to improve it?
    I took a complete English course of 4 years but unfortunately I am losing the whole vocabulary,  especially phrasal verbs because I can't practice that much.
    Let's start the learning!

    Today is an interesting day for me

    Today is Saturday, I get up at 6 a.m. and at half past six go to school by bus. It is really early for college students, so I don't feel any stress. I see a restaurant and go into it. Wow in here, there are many delicious dishes and I don't know which dishes I should choose, because I want to try all the dishes. I think for a moment, I determine to take a photo of the dishes then I eat a chicken thigh for my breakfast and I continue to school.
