Hi. My name is Brian and I was born and raised in Canada (Northern Ontario). I travelled a lot in my youth but I have lived and worked most of my adult life in or near Calgary Alberta. We moved to Mexico 12 years ago and we are now back in Canada in a town about 20km west of Calgary. I have become interested in learning Welsh which was my father's first language and I hope to use iTalki to connect with tutors who can help me on this journey.

    The work load at home

    In today's busy world, we all have to share the work load at home. Traditionally As per ascent time in India the wife would or used to use to take care of the home whereas where as the husband would be is responsible to earn money for the family  earn a bread.
    As time flies fly, our needs / demands increase. To meet this demand we meets this demand they all have to work outside of the home step outside of home to earn more money.

    Because As everyone works of 8 to 10 hours, they get really tired due to travelling to work and back , work stress and many another responsibilitiesy. Here a woman or a wife expects that she expect, her workload should be shared by other family memebers another family member.
    This trend has grown  have been pickup in metro cities but in small towns and villages the old ways persist still it has been following as per ascent time.



    Nice work, your notebook entry was perfectly understandable. Please don't be shy about trying to speak to others. I feel the same but it is the only way to get positive feedback and to learn.

    ¿Hay una diferencia entre ‘who’ y ‘whom’ en espanol? En ingles tengo que usar ‘who’ cuando refiere al sujeto de un frase y ‘whom’ cuando refiere al objeto de un frase. Para mí, se parece que los dos palabras son lo mismo en español. Por ejemplo, en ingles debo decir ‘Who gives the gift’ por que la respuesta es el sujeto ‘he or she gives the gift’ y debo decir ‘Whom do you love’(lo siento pero los Rolling Stones fueran equivocados) por que el objeto es ‘I love him or her’. Pero en español puedo decir ‘¿Quién da el regalo?’ y ‘¿A quién amas?’, la misma palabra para who o whom en inglés. ¿Hay otras palabras en español para who o whom tambien?

    Just a joke

    There's an old joke from the USSR era.
    Somehow, a U.S. spy finds himself out in the woods of the northern Siberia. He travels all day, and by night at nightfall he finds a cabin (in the woods). He looks inside and sees a rRussian guy there, and asks him (carelessly):
    - Sorry, do you speak English?
    - Yes, I do, but how who gives a damn?

    That's why it's great to have a place where you can find somebody to practice your English with ;)

     

    Hey Mykola are you sure that he was from the U.S. I think it is only Canadians like me who are always saying 'Sorry' ;)
