Podcast Revisión

Encontré una podcast hoy que me encanta. El nombre es Spanish Obsessed. Los locutores son Liz de columbia y Rob de Inglaterra. Hay muchos podcasts que conducen por los novios o espousos, pero eso es el único que me gusta. Escuché quatro episodios de nivel "intermediate," pero voy a escuchar el nivel "beginner" tambien porque no entendí todo. Me los gusta porque ellos hablan de las temas interesante y real como "cirugia plastica." Tambien, ellos hablan naturalmente y con buen humor. Si ustedes saben podcasts buenos para aprendar espanol, dime los por favor!

Las correciones son siempre bienvenidas.

No estoy segura si ví todo y si todo están correcto por que estoy aprendiendo el Español también. Pero todovía espero que te ayude un poco al menos. Buena suerte!

Summer or winter

I think, seasons effects of all people's' psychology. A lot of people feel happy if the season is summer, but if it is winter, they fell bad and depressed depressive. I like winter sometimes, because I don't like very hot weather,but I usually prefer summer. There are several differences between winter and summer. The first difference is in social activities. If season is winter, you don't usually go out. You might Maybe you can go to the cinema or the theatre or you might play bowling but If the season is summer, you can swim, go to the park or a lot places. That's why summer is better than winter, for me. A lot of people prefer go out in the summer, but staying at home is very good in the winter for them. The second difference is in the fruits and vegetables. of Summer fruits and vegetables are more delicious then those of winter. If the season is summer, you can eat various fruits and vegetables. However you can't eat as many of them if the season is winter because not many varieties grow in the winter. many variety don't grow up in the winter. I prefer to eat fruits and vegetables of summer. To sum it up, I prefer to the summer. I think summer is more advantageous winter all the time. I think summer is better than winter all the time. 

Great job Ekin!

Dear Mark,
How are you? Firstly, I'm so glad for your e-mail. I also did an Erasmus project and it was a fantastic experience. (this is not necessary, but you may want to use exclaimation points if you are particularly excited.) Moreover, Perugia is a very beautiful city put located on the top of a hill! You could can see a very brilliant landscape of from the downtown.
I would like to give you some information. Perugia is a student city and, the student life, is fantastic! The d Downtown is full of bars, pubs and restaurants where you could can have dinner or a beer with your (this is not incorrect, but in an email it is not necessary... you can simple say: with friends) friends. The cost of living is not so higher!
You could have an can get accommodations to with the student hostel. It is not far from the downtown.
The University is good. There are some excellent Professors and lot of students, but the buildings are a little bit older.

Waiting for your reply. Bye for now.

Great job Michele! 

Some suggestions for review are: 

-Using articles: In English we use less much less than in romance languages like Spanish and Italian... For example in Spanish you would say fui al centro but in English you would simply say I went downtown.

-The difference between can and could: This is a tricky concept because the difference between these words are very subtle.

but here is how they would be uses:

I can go to the cance on Sunday (Meaning I can and I will go).

I could go to the dance on Sunday or I could stay home (this expresses a level of uncertainty-- meaning going to the dance is an option but I may not do it).  This use of the word could is the English version of the subjunctive tense. 

I hope you found this helpful!

Keep up the good work!

Families in the past. Spain. Would you like correct this for me, please?

Nowadays the families is are suffering some changes is in their shapes (Maybe sizes would be a better word)  and values, at least in my country.

Families in the past used to be bigger than now, they consisted of two or three generations which lived together in the same home. I mean, The nuclear family was composed of many relatives, such as, parents, cousins and aunts. 

Families were a place where the children learned several values as repect, honesty, sincere , even the way to eat, or the way to communication and relatioships between all members of familiar group even yo could listen please and thanks almost everything.

Note: Since families are not techinically a place I have reworded this paragraph and pasted it below to make it more grammaitcally correct.

Children used to learn several values from their families, such as: Respect, honesty and sincerity. Children even learned how to eat and communicate from their families. You could always hear family members say 'please' and 'thank you' to each other. 

The grandparents used to be a good position and they were respected by their grandsons.

In general, the families was were involved in a religion. For example, my parents believe in the Catholic religion, and also were are joined.

 Great job Tonia! 

There were just a few minor mistakes in this... One thing I noticed what using listen/hear.  In Spanish these words are used interchangably but in English one listens to music or adivce and one hears sounds or someone saying something. I would just suggest reviewing the different uses of listen and hear. 

Also, keep practicing past tense verb conjugations... especially with was and were (or is and are in the present tense).

Keep up the good work!

Please, correct my mistakes.
I have my exams this summer so I decided to write a notebook entry to practice my writing skills in English. I'll write about my feelings about exams so... this entry can might be a quite boring.
Anyway, I'll write it...
Every day I spend the biggest part of my free time preparing for exams. Usually I start with reading some theory and thean I take tests. There'a a place for situations when Sometimes I've just read a needed paragraph and then I realize that forgoet almost all what I've had read. It really upsets me. I think everybody will  anybody would be upset by because of such a thing.
Almost every day I have there're thoughts that I'm swimming in the an ocean filled withs tests, papers and, books, and that I'm covered withI am filled with a stress. I wish it would will end very, very soon.

This entry reminds me of about a blog post post in a blog...

P.S. Thank you for reading.

This is very good... you only have a few subtle mistakes and they are with more complex English grammar themes that many native speakers may have trouble with. 

One suggstion is reviewing when to use will vs. would-- I noticed that that was a consistant mistake in your writing.

Great job!

The Taboo words are those that we avoid saying, because they sound badly, bother the others or produce shame in the persons who use them.

Euphemisms: They are the Words or expressions that replace the taboo words because it sounds better.
