English grammar is very difficult because there are so many exceptions to every grammar rule. The best way is to learn the basics from a book or site, and then start talking to language partners or teachers as much as possible and ask them to correct your mistakes. Only by using the language a lot are you going to remember all the different rules and exceptions of the English language. Good luck with your learning! -Kevin

The two words are synonyms, and can be used interchangeably. However there is a difference in connotation. Destiny has more of a positive connotation, and fate has more of a negative connotation. 

For example: "It is my destiny to learn another language." vs. "I am terrible at learning languages; it is my fate to only speak English."

Destiny is more about your future as ordained by God or something, where as fate is more like being cursed. Make sense?

<em>Hi there! Great job! Despite all your problems with Spanish language schools, your English is pretty good! A quick note about the highlighted parts, the really need to be broken up into multiple sentences. While technically it might not be wrong, native English writers will always break it up more. As a general rule in writing English, only use two or three clauses before you start a new sentance. Good luck, and if you have any questions let me know!</em>

Spanish language schools

I would like to express my concern about my english level. I live in Spain and is so difficult to find someone who to talk to in english. It is true that you can sign up for english classes in a school. However, if you go to the english school to learn english you will realise that it is always the same: grammar, vocabulary, conditionals... yes, it seems that you learn a lot but it is not you don't. Normally you are in a class of five, six or more students, with different levels, and all of them Spanish, which is the worst part point because when you have to talk with them you can´t learn anything as because the students are in the same situation than you, learning english, so they should make grammar mistakes, pronunciation mistakes... in conclusion, it is imposible to make progress. I also tried also one to on one english lessons, and, from my point of view, it is the best choise if you really want to improve your speaking because the teacher is focused on you, and he/she will correct you at the moment you make a mistake and you will improve your listening and conversations, and also your expresions and idioms. I love learning english but I miss not having someone to meet once or twice a week one a week, or twice to speek. I don´t mind If I have to talk by skype with he/she him or her. I find It insteresting too because skype is like a phone call, it´s harder to understand and you can get used to managing use to how to manage the situation in a phone call which where I always I´m afraid.

I´m spending a lot of money learning english, I really need to find a speaking friend who I can teach she/he him or her spanish and she /he he or she can teach me english.

As the other answer says, it more or less means, "que tal?" But it is more often written as "What's up?"

<em>Muy bien! Bueno trabajo. No puedo corectar las palabras en amarillo, porque no entiendo. Pero escribe en español, puedo corectar en ingles. </em>

My problems about the English

I don't know how to start, even I don't know that write so I'll write my problems with English and other stuffs.
I'm I have been trying to learn English since for almost two weeks and I think that is a little difficult learning to learn to write good well. even I don't know if you are understanding me or If what I am writing sounds a little rare strange or funny.
I don't know when I must use the word "that" because in the Spanish it uses it often, so I write that in very many sentences. In adittion I don't know when using to use recall, remind and remember or start/begin, among other things. When I read an article in English I try to understand what it says, but I need to improve my writing, and so Just writing I'll just do it. As well as So much many people have learned English I hope can do it, it's very important for me learning to learn English because almost everything is written in English. For example the music that I heard hear (Indie-rock, Thrash-Metal, ska, Punk, etc) the books that I ask borrowed to borrow in the Library, the series that I see (Breaking Bad, M.D House, Friends, etc) and I'd like to make a lot of friends and i can help them with the spanish but First I must improve my english for so I can talk with people. So my first written piece is finished.

<em>Great job! Just as a general note, I'm not sure what you mean by "financial markets." That could be because I don't know much about banks, or maybe you are using the wrong word. If you have any questions, shoot me a message. </em>
