Hello, my name is Hilary and I live in Rhode Island on the east coast of the United States of America. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and have worked 10 years in research labs. Currently, I am working part time as a substitute teacher for grades K through 12. I also enjoy playing the violin. I have been learning German on my own now for 5 years. I was inspired to learn the language because I worked with several native speakers and had interest in their culture. I hope to increase my conversation skills, grammar, and use of verbs, as well as written German. I accepted the October italki challenge! I am interested in finding language partners who want to practice English. Tschuess!

    Hi Saulute,

     

    I agree with Mr. teutone, you should just go ahead and try your best to make some sentences.  Try a very easy simple sentence at first.  Don't worry about how wrong it is, no one will judge you for your mistakes.  My last entry had SO many mistakes, but I learned something from each one.  There are many kind Germans on italki who are willing to help and explain and share their language. :)

     

    Viel Glueck, und tschuess!

    -Hilary

    Hallo J.leon, I am happy to answer your question as I just learned this with my italki teacher last week. The rule is simple: "keine" (or kein, or keinen) is used with nouns, and "nicht" is used with adjectives and verbs! Just remember this and you will soon be able to hear which is better in the context. z.B.: Ich lese nicht, ich schlafe. Ich habe kein Geld. Ich spreche nicht so gut. Viel Glueck!

    hello everyone,

    I write my first essay here. And In about four months later, I will take an English exam, so I want to improve my English writing, listening, and speaking quickly. But I have not yet found a good method. now. I am a little disappointed.

    Travel

    My hope is to travel around the world, but I am fearful for two reasons.  First, my English is not professional, it is very raw.  I can't make sentences properly.  I speak Italian and my English is not good.

    The second problem is that when I listen to other people speak only English, I do not understand them. In 20 days I will travel to Ireland.  Everyday I study to improve my English but I fear it isn't enough.  But I believe in myself and my best effort.

    My stereo

    My husband and I inheritance inherited it from my husband's parents. It´s made of metal and wood. It´s not to too big and it´s not to too small. It´s is rectangular and the plays for vinyls on top. It´s heavy but not a lot too heavy.
    The sound is perfect and we listen to vinyls on the weekends, mostly. We love it.
