I'm from London, Ontario in Canada and I am going to school in Toronto. I'm currently learning German because I was looking to speak another language and although I find some of the pronunciation difficult, I think German is a cool language. I speak a bit of French though I can mostly just read it (had to learn it for school). I eventually want to get back into French though right now I would like to concentrate on German. I'm hoping to use italki to improve my German when writing and to maybe find someone to chat with to practice.

    I would say they're a bit different. Build on - adding to a basic idea eg. "We're going to build on the original script to include the new ideas" Build up - create something from nothing, or make something greater eg. "Build up someone's confidence", "Build up the company" Writing this made me realize how confusing the two phrases could be lol

    What is the proper German term for madhouse or asylum? I looked it up on google translate, I got irrenhaus and I noticed that irre means mad. I wanted to get the German translation for madhouse for a project I'm working on (I want it to mean the right thing if a German speaker were to see it), also curious on what the politically correct German term would be for a hospital that focuses on mental health bc I realize madhouse is a bit rude.

    The beach

    In the summer I usually go to the beach. I like swimming but I don´t like to much be under the sun much, so I go early in the morning, more or less at 10:30, and I leave around 12:00.
    I live near the coast, and the closest beach is ten minutes by car. When I get to the beach I put down the sun umbrella and the towel, and apply myself sunscreen.
    There is a watch beach beach watch service, and it warn us if the sea is not able good for swimming with a flags color code color coded flags. When the flag is green the sea is calm. When it is yellow we have to be careful and when it's red the swim swimming is banned.
    This summer the weather is has been good, and most of the days the flag has been green, so I could swim a lot.
    When I go back home from the beach, I enjoy having a beer sitting in on the porch.
    OR: I enjoy a beer on the porch OR: I enjoy some beer on the porch
