Hello Sharry,

Very interesting topic.

But, what do you mean by cheating for money ?

Can you explain how someone can cheat on you for money on italki ?

I want to understand what you mean, because i don't want to be a victim of any cheater.

You should understand the process to learn a language and find the best way for yourself to learn a language.

To master a language, you should consider these :
- listening (understanding)

- speaking
- vocabulary and grammar rules
- writing

So reading and watching movies are probably not enough if you want to be able to speak.. :p
If you do only conversations, it could be a good start. But you need also a teacher to teach you grammar rules and vocabulary (what about books, movies and podcasts ?).

Conclusion: learn a language requires a variety of 'activities' and a lot of time to complete your target.

Here is my recipe (in fact all the people have the same recipe, lol) :

- read books loudly (good for vocabulary and train your tongue)

- listen to podcasts (good for vocabulary and train your ears)

- take conversations on italki (choose an awesome teacher could help, but a nice and very professional teacher is far better, lol )

- watch movies (good for idioms and train your eyes ... <- no no no, not good for yours eyes).

Bye bye

1 - You can considere you are succeeded when your family (including yourself) is happy. Life is sometimes difficult, money can help you to reach the hapiness, but not always.

2 - Rich people and the famous ? Only poors and unsatisfied people think rich people and the famous are in the happiness.. huh, i mean successful...

Unhappy rich people and the famous have their own dreams.

I heard millionaire famous people dream to have their own very luxious yatch that they cannot buy...

And rich people dream immortality... i'm kidding...

3 - Happiness, one word but very large meanings...

4 - Of course. What would you do if reach the success and you are alone in the world ??

5 - Yourself, because in the life you will always have obstacles. Sometimes you need helps (question 4 :p), but the biggest part depends on you.

6 - That depends on your skills how you face the situation.

7 - Of course it is. Everyone has is own definition of success. But happiness (huh.. success) is reachable by everyone.

8 - Both. We live in society (so the influences) and we make our own happiness (inherent)

9 - ??? Everyone has succeeded at something he failed before... I don't understand the question.

10 - The ultimate success is when you want to share your happiness... Raise your head and look at the people who have succeeded (if there are any you know) ... lol

If you don't know people who have succeeded, you must change your situation, your country or your religion or anything else... You need a Model to succeed...

There is no right answer to this question since all tastes are in nature.

Anyway, i would say just what comes in my head :

I'll be there - Jacksons' version or Mariah Carey's version. The both versions worth it

I watched a science fiction humourous kitsch movie 2 days ago: Space Station 76 (2014)

The actors are : Patrick Wilson, Liv Tyler, Matt Bomer ...

It is not a great movie but it was very funny (of course, not all the people would like this kind of humour). Some scenes are absurds and hilarious and the dialogues are very easy to understand...

I have an another recommendation if you want to watch a movie with the purpose to understand English.

Locke with Tom Hardy

Not a great movie, but enough to captivate you to listen to all the dialogues (quite easy to understand).

I know these movies are not very attractive, but if I watch a movie in purpose to learn English, i would choose the both movies above.
