I've been raised between the USA and Chile, I speak English and Spanish at native level and also enough Portuguese to survive a trip. I understand French and Italian. I would like to get back to my roots and learn Hebrew and some Arabic so I can talk to my family and friends and travel more. I'd love to help you if you need anything!

    Not comfortable with this Not sure on how to do this since it's not a note I'm submitting for review/help. This is something I need to say since it's been bothering me since I joined. I think I'm closing my account here. There is a subject to be addressed here. The site either needs their own messenger that's either just voice message or voice/video. From the moment I joined, I felt happy to have people trying to help me by sending me requests, but just in these past two days, I've received at least 10 messages that say something like "Hello, give me your Skype". I find this not only annoying, but intrusive and in some instances, aggressive. I just had a guy that told me to go... Well, you know just because I wouldn't give him my Skype username. Yes, we come from different cultures and I've tried to be as patient and understanding as possible, but I can't help feeling many users are treating the site as their own free Match.com and I can't speak about the rest, but that's not what I had in mind when I signed up. So I would describe my experience as a great fiasco. I hope the rest have found a way to find people that are serious about trying to help. But for me, it just doesn't work. Hope it works for you and best of lucks, F

    Hello! My name is Alba and I'm from Spain. It's the first time that I write on this page because I didn't know about it. I'm happy to talk to other people and know different cultures :D I want to improve my English because I'm studying Primary Education at the university. So, in the future, I want to be a good English teacher.
    Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading :)

    I agree with Alan. In the US, the most common way of saying that is "the power went off" or if you call home and someone wants to warn you about the lack of electricity, I use "we're out of power" For internet I say "my internet is down" or "internet is working". As a joke, sometimes we use "the internet is broken". It all depends on who you are talking to, formal or informal.

    Acá en sudamérica no hay muchas series, lo que puedes encontrar es alguna telenovela (soap) que sea divertida. Como dice Ramiro, los españoles tienen äquí no hay quién viva" que gusta mucho. En Chile tenemos El Club de la Comedia, que es stand up con sketches, pero acá se habla muy rápido y nuestros chistes tienen mucho slang. En Chile puedes encontrar un libro escrito por una americana que es como un Urban Dictionary de slang chileno.

    Hi Massi. What happened? Do you even remember why you wanted to learn another language? 

    Here's mine: I have always wanted to learn Hebrew. My grandma is a Holocaust survivor, she lost her whole family in concentration camps. After the war, she wandered from here to there until she found a place she liked, she then had her family, etc. I don't remember much about her as a child. And I don't get to see her often. I can't "get" to her. I want to know more about her, I want to be able to tell her I admire her and so much more in her native tongue, Hebrew.

    I have MS, and before I die, I want to go to Israel. I want to talk to the people, pray with them, know about their own wishes and dreams. People are fascinating and everyone has something to say that you can use as life advice. 

    Go for it! Make the world your backyard! Make new friends, new experiences. No pares de correr!

    Spanglish

    Escucho tantas palabras las que nosotros decimos son Spanglish . Vivo en EEUU donde viven muchos inmigrantes de Mexico. Por lo tanto,se inventan muchas palabras (en un idioma) llamado “ spanglish “.
    Por ejemplo se dicen “ el tanque está liqueando agua “ en vez de “ el tanque está goteando agua. Del verbo “ leak “ en EEUU. Tambien el chico que trabaja en un taller donde se lava carros diria que el es un "car washero"; “ Car wash en Norteamérica.. “ La chica limpiando el piso que está “mopeando el piso". La palabra “ mop “ viene del verbo moping en inglés. Un silenciador del carro se convierte en "mufle", que viene de la palabra “ muffer “. Almorzar es "lonche’ de la palabra “ lunch “. descansar en el trabajo = break . Hay docenas más. Un idioma nuevo está naciendo. Una trucka = un camino.. watchero = watch man. OK ..gracias
