I'm a musician living in the U.S. I'd really like to learn Spanish. I studied in high school and forgot most of it because I didn't practice speaking enough. I've heard great reviews about this site and I wanted to give it a try. I look forward to chatting!

    Dos Conciertos Esta noche, voy a ir a un concierto que mis estudiantes de la percusión tocarán. Es el concierto ultímo del año. Me divertí mucho estos estudiantes en la mayor parte. Tocarán dos tríos por la marimba y dos piezas más grande, incluyendo Mah-na mah-na, de Los Muppets. Depués, me iré a Nueva York tocar con una flautista. La música es muy dificil y Espero que estaré listo. "¡Deséame suerte!"

    Música es mi vida Soy un músico. He estado tocando la percusión hace 26 años. Mi carrera es música de clásica, pero me gusta muchos tipos de música. El instrumento que es más importante para mí es la marimba. Normalmente, toco la marimba con quatro baquetas (dos en cada mano). Además de tocar la percusión, toco el piano un poco. Doy clases de piano y tengo siete estudiantes en escuela primaria. He estado tocando piano hace casi 30 años, pero toco percusión mejor que el piano. Todos piensan que toca la batería muy bien, pero actualmente, no es verdad. Gracias por ayudarme!

    Letter

    Dear Sir,

    I am writing you to express gratitude for your services in all this these years, in which you have been working with us.

    I know that all your pupils are very thankful for your teaching. I have always had good references about you and your job. More than ninety per cent of your pupils have been passed the final exam. In addition, you have been a good partner with the rest of the teachers of at school, so we will miss you.

    I wish hope you now now spend much more time in on your favourite hobby besides teaching: to traveling. (I am guessing that teaching is his job, not his hobby)

    I hope we will meet up next weekend for have a lunch and if you want, we could go to play golf after.

    Yours faithfully, (Faithfully is for romantic partner or maybe a boss. Is that what you mean? How about "Yours truly" or "Sincerely")

    PS: The exercise is a letter for a partner at my work who was retired and I don't know if in this case, the type of letter could be formal o informal. Thanks! If it's a close friend at work, you can probably go informal. If you aren't close with him, formal may work.


    Great job!

    Hi there!

    Hi everybody! I'm Matías from Argentina. A couple of days ago, someone told me about Italki. I thought... Let's give a try, why not? I started meeting people and learning a lot. I think this website is amazing!
    I am studying English for my work, and also for fun. I love it. I know I make mistakes, and if you can correct me, you will help me a lot.
    I don´t think I don't write so well. but The worst thing is the fact that I can't understand when English natives speak. Listening to videos/audios made for students think they're is boring. I like to talk on skype to improve my hearing listening.
    This is my first post, and don't have so much to say... so... All the corrections are welcome!
    Thanks!
    See you!

     

    This looks great. Nice job! It´s really easy to understand!

    "Any" is for negative sentences (I don't want to meet anyone) or a general question (Does anyone speak Spanish?). "Some" is used in an affirmative way (There is someone at the door). Sometimes, they are interchangeable. I don't think there's a difference between "no one" and "nobody" This may just make it more confusing...but read for yourself! http://www.netjeff.com/humor/item.cgi?file=EverybodiesJob

    Chipa.

    Chipa is a typical Paraguayan food which is very popular and eaten by almost everyone in Paraguay.Foreign people who visit Paraguay surely eat chipa.This food is also a tradition during Holy Week.
    But how is it prepared?
    Ingredients: eggs, flour, anise, butter, starch, cheese (filling), milk, and salt.It's very easy to make it; just mix all of these ingredients by hand (do not use mixers or blenders).Then to bake it, you need a "tatakuá", which is a kind of oven, for about 20 minutes.The secret is to pay attention when it is getting turns a golden color. Some people use a banana leaf as "protection" because the takakua is extremely hot and you can't keep control of the temperature.

    This is great! Nice job!

    Correciones He notado que cuando leo escritos en inglés por italki, hay muchos caminos pueda ir corregir. ¿Qué palabra uso? ¿Si Corrijo como este, será más difícil para él o ella aprender inglés? Cuando escribo en español, todos corrige diferentemente. Algunas cosas son el mismo (Acentos, agregando ´a´, quizas cambiando ´por´ y ´para´), pero otras cosas son un poco diferente (El orden de las palabras, por ejemplo). Yo pensé que hubo un camino escribir solamente. Pero ahora, aunque yo sé que mis escritos no son perfectos, hay muchas respuestas correctas, también. ¡Además, las personas que están corrigiendo son de muchas países diferentes! ¿Qué piensan? ¡Espero que me comprendan y gracias por ayudarme!

    Dangerous situation

    When I was young I went on holiday to a little town between (the) mountains. I loved that place because I like riding bikes on mountains.

    One day, I went to ride was riding my bike. It was a sunny day and I was very excited because I wore was wearing my new helmet. Suddenly, while I was riding on my bike, a huge and, ugly dog started to run running after me. I started to run pedaling faster (on my bike), but the dog didn´t stop run kept running after me. (you could also say, "kept chasing me.")

    Then the dog started to bark and jumped near my left leg. I was very afraid and I fell off my bike.

    While I was laying on the floor ground, the dog dissapeared. Then I checked my body to see if all was in order and I relaxed. I was alright !

    If a dog runs after you while you are riding a bike, the worst thing you can do is start to run pedal faster. My advice is that you stop as soon as possible.

     

     

    I understood everything you said. Great job! I hope I was helpful.
