- Qué hice el fin de semana pasado ¡Hola! Tuve un buen fin de semana. Mi amiga fue a mi casa. Hablamos muchas horas sobre cada de nuestras problemas, metas, sueños, y reímos sobre cada de nuestras tontos errores y tontos pensamientos. Su madre coció galletas especiales de Líbano para mi familia. ¡Eran delicioso! Comí muchas. Aún tengo una galleta comer. Estoy ávidamente sonando sobre lo. Después de eso, fue a su casa y empecé preparar varios platos. Primero, preparé chucrut con algo col y una manzana. Luego, preparé chucrut con algo lombarda, tres zanahorias, y algo jengibre. Los dos requerían sal y agua. Creo estos alimentos están muy interesante porque bacterias cambian el sabor de los alimentos. La primavera pasada, fui en una clase de biología. Me encantó porque durante una clase, miran las bacterias por los telescopios. Estaba increíble mirando ellos movían. Si me conociste, podrías saber que me gusta aseo pero cuando miraba esto bacterias...pensaba esto un poco lindo. Eran muy pequeño y movedizo. Parecían que bailaban, así que ahora imagino un poco fiesta de bailando bacterias en mi chucrut. Después de eso, cociné arroz con huevos y vegetales, y vi "Pretty Little Liars." Gracias para tus tiempos y tus correcciones :-)June 24, 201440
why i want learning english
*Why I want to learn English
((Always capitalize the first letter of a language's name. For example, Spanish, French, Portuguese, English, etc.))...i think is an importante important lenguage.
*I think it is an importante language.
(("I" as in "I think, I am" etc. is always capitalized. Also, you don't need an "e" at the end of important.))
I need learning also because i'm studying internacional bussines.
*I also need to learn English because I'm studying international business.
*Another reason I need to learn English is because I am studying international business.
The eanglish is difficult for me,i need fluncy and learn more vocabulary.*The English is difficult for me because I am trying to become fluent and learn more vocabulary words.
*The English is difficult for me because I need to reach fluency and develop my English vocabulary.
*The English language is difficult for me because I am trying to achieve fluency and improve my vocabulary.
((You can say "English" or you can say "the English language," but never say "the English" when you are talking about the <em>language</em>. You say "the English" when you are talking about the <em>people</em>. For example, "The English like to drink tea," or "The English bravely fought in World War II."))
I hope speak english.
*I hope I will learn to speak English.
*I hope I will speak English one day.
Also i'm studying a english curse,but it's difficult for me.*Also, I'm taking an English course, but it's difficult for me.
Good job, Jocelyn! This is an excellent start! Let me know if you have any questions. :-)
0 votedJune 19, 20140- Oh, I found something that could work for listening and hearing at the same time! TedxTalks have talks given all over the world. I found a whole bunch of them hosted in Argentina: http://tedxtalks.ted.com/browse/talks-by-country/argentina All I had to do was browse talks by country, but they also have a feature where you can browse by language. The video I looked at had captions! Perfect! However, I would like all the resources I can get, so if anyone has any more ideas for listening to and reading Argentinian Spanish, let me know :)0 votedJune 10, 20140
- Where can I find Argentine news videos with transcripts? I found an amazing site that does this with Castillan Spanish, but am now looking for an Argentine equivalent. Something like this: http://es.euronews.com/2014/06/06/sera-este-mundial-algo-mas-que-una-gran-fiesta-deportiva/ I want it to practice listening to Spanish.June 10, 201430
- Qué hice la semana pasada ¡Hola! Ha sido mucho tiempo. La semana pasada, fui a un concierto con mi amiga, Danielle. No estaba muy bien. Parecía excesivamente dramático. Pero las personas eran amable. Después, Danielle, su amigo Tommy, y yo fuimos a un restaurante llamado "In'N'Out" y compramos papas fritas y batidos de leche. Luego, Danielle y yo fuimos a mi casa y hablamos hasta el sol salió. Por fin, dormimos. Cuando despertamos, hablamos más. Al día siguiente, fui a UCLA con mi amigo Aadi que me dio un viaje. Pude ver muchas bibliotecas lo cual me hizo contenta. Después de eso, Aadi y yo fuimos a un restaurante y comimos comida. He estado leyendo a menudo. También, he estado haciendo alimentos fermentados como yogur y chucrut. !Está muy emocionante! Me gusta mucho cocinar.** ¡Muchas gracias! :) **Why does "mucho" go before "cocinar"? In English, I would say "I like cooking very much" or "I like to cook very much." Also, why do I write "me gusta" and not just "gusta" like with other verbs? Gracias una vez más. :-)June 9, 2014101
Part II.
I couldn't finish it because it was time for me to go with my girlfriend to the Physiotherapist, due to a sudden pain that was ails her on a knee, (just a little thing, It wasn't serious, the Physiotherapist said).
*...physiotherapist due to a sudden pain that was ailing her on a knee (just a little thing; the physiotherapist said that it wasn't serious).
(("Physiotherapist" doesn't need to be capitalized since it isn't part of a title or a name. After "just a little thing" I might try a semi-colon rather than a period, but it still seems like it could be wrong to me. You might want to do some research about paranthesis, because I just don't know much about proper grammar inside of parantheses! This was more of a guess, so take it with a grain of salt :-]))After that, we went to a multicultural fair, that was occurring in the mainly square of my city, it is called "Feria de las culturas amigas", something like "Friend culture fair".
*...multicultural fair that was occurring in the main square of my city. It is called...
((These were two independent clauses ("we went..." and "it is..."), so use the proper methods to split these up :-]. Also, you do not need a comma after 'fair' and before 'that.'))
*...multicultural fair that was being held in the main square of my city.
((Another phrase option))There were a lot of stands, each one represented a country.
*There were a lot of stands. Each one represented a country.
((Split up the independent clauses by using a period or one of the other methods.))
*There were a lot of stands with each one representing a country.
((I want to say that there should be a comma after "stands" and before "with" since these are two independent clauses, but it looks wrong to me, and I am not sure if the word "with" gives some exception. It is probably safer to use a comma though, since that is the typical rule.))Notwithstanding portions were small (and a little expensive If we thought they were tiny), I felt my belly was about to exploit, and my girlfriend was as satisfied as I was.
*Though the portions were small (and a little expensive considering how tiny they were), I felt my belly was about to explode, and my girlfriend was as satisfied as I was.
((Awesome punctuation!))We were happy although, because we could learn about a lot of things of many countries and peoples and how they live.
*We were happy though, because we could learn about a lot of things of many countries and people and how they live.
*We were happy though, because we could learn many things about a lot of different coutries and about how their peoples lived.We are vegetarians, so there were many dishes we didn't try, but we were very happy with the different ways water is flavored in some countries, for instance in Syria they do a kind of roses and milk infusion, it’s more than delicious, it’s the pure heaven on earth.
*We are vegetarians, so there were many dishes we didn't try, but we were very happy with the different ways water is flavored in some countries. For instance, in Syria they do a kind of roses and milk infusion; it’s more than delicious--it’s the pure heaven on earth.
((Awesome! Just keep practicing with independent clauses (subject + verb). If you have too many subjects and verbs in one sentence, it can be difficult for your reader to follow along.))Then I took my girlfriend to her house and made my way back home. I finished reading a novel called “Yellow Birds” by Kevin Powers. It’s amazing! It’s about a solider that went to fight to Iraq’s war, and how he lives with the things he did there and the things (and people) he lost there. I strongly recommend it.
((Wonderful! Very well done!))At the end I studied some cards I made with English words in order to recall those words and started writing this note.
*Afterwards, I studied some flashcards in English in order to learn those words and started writing this note.Awesome job, Ernesto. This was really cool to read, everything was very clear, and I loved the picture you added at the end! I can't wait to read more! :)

Part I.
I woke up at 10 AM, unfortunately I slept fitfully, and therefore I was a little tired when my alarm clock went off.
*I woke up at 10 AM. Unfortunately, I slept fitfully; and therefore, I was a little tired when my alarm clock went off.
((This sentence actually contains three independent clauses [three phrases that have a subject and a verb and can be their own sentences]. "I woke...", "I slept...", "I was..." You can split up these independent clauses into three sentences or use different kinds of punctuations and appropriate vocabulary. One way to properly punctuate independent clauses (with subject + verb) aside from simply using periods is to use a semicolon{;} followed by therefore, however, consequently, and several other words. Another way is to use a comma {,} followed by something jokingly referred to as FANBOYS {for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so}. Use these methods to combine independent clauses. {There are also dependent clauses, so you might want to look at those too if you get the chance :-)}))
*I woke up at 10 AM. Unfortunately, I slept fitfully and therefore I was a little tired when my alarm clock went off.
((In this sentence I am combining your last two independent clauses and eliminating the word "I" {your subject} in the last independent clause. This means I don't need a comma {,} before the word 'and.' You also can just say 'alarm' without saying 'clock,' and English-speakers will know what you mean.))
*I woke up at 10 AM. Unfortunately, I slept fitfully, so I was a little tired when my alarm clock went off.
((You can combine these last two independent clauses and keep them as independent clauses if you use a semi-colon {;} or a comma {,} with FANBOYS {for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so}.))That's why first thing I did was went to the kitchen and do some cafe.
*That's why the first thing I did was go to the kitchen and make some coffee.
((Notice here that you only have one subject, so you don't need to use a comma and FANBOYS or a semi-colon or anything fancy. Your punctuation is awesome here!))
Cafe makes me live my day in a most vivid way.
*Coffee makes me live my day a most vivid way.
(("a most vivid way" sounds like older English like Jane Austen, but it is correct and sounds nice. If you want to make it more modern try the following.))
*Coffee makes me vividly come alive.
*Coffee makes me live vibrantly throughout the day.
*Coffee makes me live my day full of energy.
I was supposed to practice my English and teach some Spanish, but my language partner never turned up in Skype.
*...on Skype.
((Awesome punctuation and grammar! Two independent clauses united! Nice casual language as well.))
So I started working in a song I'm trying to cover, a Gary Numan's song.
*So, I started working on...

((Very cheerful. I like it!))
Godmorning, it´s time to wake up in Spain.
*Good morning. It's time to wake up in Spain.
I should go tu study because my exam is in 4 days.*I should go to study because my exam is in 4 days.
(("to" is unnecessary here. Usually, in American English at least, we simply say:
"I should go study. I should go eat. I should go call my friend. I should go exercise." We don't use "to" in these specific types of sentences that I can recall--but I'm pretty tired and possibly forgetting.))
firstly I´ll have breakfast.*Firstly, I'll have breakfast.
((You can simply say "first".))and secondly, I´ll go to the library, to pass all the morning studing english.
*and Second, I'll go to the library to pass the entire morning studying English.
*and Then I'll go to the library to spend the rest of the morning studying English.
((You don't need "and". Always remember to capitalize the first letter of languages, places, and names!))
to conclude, It´ll be a very hard morning.*To conclude, it'll be a very hard morning.
thank you for your corrections.Good job! :-)
0 votedMay 30, 20142- Que hice hoy--29 de mayo de 2014 Hola! Hoy, no leí mucho, como hago normalmente/como hice ayer. Fui con mis padres a oficina de su iglesia. Hablé con la mujer puseiron Lauren. Nunca había encontrado ella. Hablamos durante alrededor de una hora. Di mi nombre y número de teléfono a la local dónut tienda por el trabajo potencial. Establecí algunos amigos aprender español y enseñar inglés. Intenté y intento siempre escribir en español pero cansaba y tengo pereza. If someone would also please correct punctuation, that would be splendid! Gracias :-)May 30, 2014152
Here I go... again.
I like learn new lenguages because you can open a complete new world, meet very interesting people in differents places, know differents cultures and points of view.
*I like to learn new languages because you can open a completely new world, meet very interesting people in different places, and learn about differents cultures and points of view.
*I like to learn new languages because you can access a completely new world, meet very interesting people in different places, and be exposed to differents cultures and points of view.((It's hard to see, but you do not need an 's' at the end of the word 'different'.))
My english is really rusty,
*My English is really rusty.*My English is really rusty;
((This is an independent clause--it has a subject and a verb--so use the correct punctuation or word choice to link or end independent clauses. Feel free to Google it! Also, make sure you always capitilize languages in English.))
I dont practice too much because I try learn two more lenguages at the same time, I dont have the time but now I will meet new people for learn and practice and maybe I can teach spanish in exchange.
*I don't practice too much because I am trying to learn two languages at the same time. I don't have much time, but I will try to meet new people to learn and practice and maybe teach Spanish in exchange.
((I am sorry if I misinterpreted what you were trying to say. I was trying to guess based on what you said. Feel free to explain what you meant if I was wrong, and I will try to tell you the correct way to write it. :]))
Awesome job!
