- The clown painted it The last week i went to wash my car with my son. When my car was clean i noticed that someone had painted my car with white paint. I felt so angry that I said "I don't know who was the clown who painted my car". Later my son had a birthday party so we went there. When we arrived someone asked us about the white paint on the car. Immediately Samuel answered "the clown painted it!". I had to explain that i said that because i was angry, so the person laughed a lot. I guess my boy thought that a real clown had painted our car. That was a great opportunity to remember "Children see. Children do" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHi2dxSf9hwJanuary 12, 201541
- Ten against one There are almost ten people learning english against one native english who is learning another language. I don't know maybe more or less than ten but the point here is that they can't help all of us to correct ours entries on italki. It's a shame but several entries stay without at least one correction. Anyway, thanks all of them who try to help correcting a few entries.December 27, 201441
- Heroes without powers nor suits Today in the morning before to come to my job, i was watching on the CCN channel a television show named CNN heroes. It is about people around the world who try to do something for someone who are not themselves. The first case was a man who is working with disabled people. He teach them how to work out in a gym and they look happy. The second case was a woman who works to save the lions. I like this story because she achieved to convince the lions' killers about save them. The third story was a girl who creates a special glass for disabled people. All of them received an award for their work. This is a year season where a lot of people try to do good things, give some gifts or share food with someone. But the world problems are present the whole year. We need to be concerned of someone else than ourselves.December 9, 201400
Pensamientos acerca de español
Hola! Soy Pedro (Peter en inglés) y e inicié aprendiendo español en octubre de este año. Con el la ayudar de mi maestro y mis amigos de italki yo he estado mejorando día por a día. Estoy iniciando empezando a reconocer las diferencias entre el español de España y el español de América Latina(Invierte el orden). No son muy diferentes pero son similares que a las diferencias entre el inglés de los Estados Unidos y el inglés de Gran Bretaña. Tal vez es solo mi punto de vista pero el español de España parece un poco mas rápido que el español de América Latina. Alguien está en de acuerdo conmigo? Muchísima gracias por tuyo ayudar.
Nota: Estás en lo correcto amigo, el español latino es mas pausado y de cierta manera mas neutro. En lo personal, creo que el español de España además de ser mas rápido incluye también muchos regionalismos. Pero como dije es solo mi apreciación.

Mi esposa y yo nos trasladamos a Costa Rica hace cuatro meses desde los Estados Unidos. Nunca pensé que mi nombre estaría sería un problema, pero he notado que "Joe" no podrá será el mejor nombre en un país hablante donde se habla español.
Por ejemplo, acabo de llamar la pizzería y ordené un vegeteriano grande. Cuando me preguntaron para mi nombre, les dije "Joe." La Confusión se produjo.
"...Yo?"
"No, Joe."
"Cómo? Yo?"
"No, no... Mi nombre es Joe."
"Habla español o inglés, amigo?"
"Español está bien."
"Y cual es su nombre?"
Entonces me di cuenta del problema.
"Ay! Ya sé cual es el problema. Mi nombre es Joseph."
"Ay! Joe! Entiendo."
Pienso que necesito Creo que debo usar "Joseph" o "José" de aquí en adelante para evitar que la gente de pensar crea que mi nombre es "Yo."Nota: Amigo está historia es muy graciosa, como latino pude imaginarme tratando de entender porque decías "Yo". Buena historia!

Todaos laos mañanas como tres huevos revueltos. El otro día, hizo hice mi desayuno como siempre pero cuando rompi la el tecera huevo, supe que estaba fue podrido. Es una cosa muy rara y nunca lo había visto antes en mi vida. Penséaba que fue era mala suerte. Me preocupaba que los el restos de los huevos fueron estuvieran podridos y después fui a la tiendo para devolverlos. En la tienda me dieron una nuevo docena de huevos nuevos sin problema.
A veces yo soy supersticiosao. Creo que hay signos señales en las cosas que pasan a diario y hay que prestarles atención a ellos. No sé lo que significa de que la el tecera huevo fue estuviera podrido pero mi amiga dice que es yo como demasiados huevos y que es mejor que en de adelante comao solo dos por al desayuno.
Qué piensas tú?0 votedDecember 5, 20140- Workers on wheels and pedals There are several Bogotá's zones where people work with a rickshaw. I'm not sure whether this is the correct word in English since in Spanish it is bicitaxi. Usually it is a bicycle with three wheels where two passengers can travel and there is a driver who is on pedals. I have seen that majority are young people who need to do any work to earn money. I think it is a hard job because they have to ride on bicycle almost all day and some streets are in bad conditions so the effort is greater. I have noticed that these vehicles cover to the passengers when it is raining but the water reaches to the drivers.
December 5, 201400 - Beauty and the beast is a queens issue Some week ago the national reign of beauty finished. As every year we could see women from all cities trying to win the crown. Usually I tend to ignore this event but this year a girl made a great mistake. Of course these kind of errors have passed before. A journalist asked her: who is Nelson Mandela?, and she answered: He is who began the national contest of beauty. This have been a joke on social networks and everybody has laughed about this. Some people like me begin to remind another girls who have made similar mistakes. It's a shame that an event like this one sells the women's beauty only by their faces, legs, breasts or any part from their bodies, but when one of them allows to see her brain it looks so poor. Really I think the society has taught to ours girls that it is important to have a good look but they don't take care of their formation, so their worth depend on the way their bodies look. Here we usually use the beast word to refer to people who do things without thinking. I don't know if can this word be used in the English like in Spanish. Anyway I wrote the title because this contest lets us to see "beauty and the beast" in the same character. Beautiful bodies with brains of beast.December 5, 201400
