- Speak in the language you're going to be teaching
Hello,
I like to practice with different teachers but one of the problems I have is when I click on videos to see what the teachers are like and they never speak in the language I want to learn. It's great that you can speak English so well, but so can I, and so really it's no use to me. I understand there are beginners but even if 90% of your video is in English and 10% in the language you're going to be teaching it'd be helpful.
Especially with teachers who have a few native languages (I get sceptical for those with three and above, I'm sure it's possible but still) or who don't have the language they're teaching as their native one. I'm put off as I wonder what your accent and level will be like.
Anyway I hope this might help teachers who want more students. Anyone have any other tips?
May 1, 201500 - Una carta para el cierre anticipado de una biblioteca Querido Señor o Señora, Me llamo Michelle y he vivido en este pueblo toda mi vida. He escrito esta carta por que' oi' que la bibloteca cerrara'. Es un asunto muy importante para mi. He utilizado la biblioteca desde era nina, ahora tengo ventinueve años. La biblioteca era un lugar util e importante para mi desarollo. Si no hubiera una biblioteca en mi infancia creo que no habria leido muchos libros que me ayudaban aprender mas sobre el mundo y la vida. La biblioteca es un lugar importante para la comunidad. Es un lugar para todos. Los jubliados pueden ir a la biblioteca para reunirse y para pedir prestar los libros para tener algo de hacer. Los desempleados pueden ir para usar los ordenadores a buscar trabajo. Padres pueden llevar sus ninos para ensenarlos la importancia de libros y la educacion. Si se trata de dinero le sugiero que limita el horario de apertura. Si quiere ganar dinero le sugiero que abre un cafe en el edificio. Espero que usted pensa mas sobre este asunto. Seria un desastre para la comunidad. Biblotecas son muy importantes. Atentamente, MichelleApril 11, 201500
Planning holidays
Today my family and I started to plan our next holiday. Then we argued for a long time. We eventually decided to visit Scotland.
Some friends were there last years (either: 'last year' or 'some years ago'). They told us that it is a beautiful place with a lot of landscapes with castles, amazing mountains, and that the people are friendly. They stayed in a room in one of the castles that they had booked.
They recommended that we booked early ('before' is ok but early is clearer without context) to avoid paying more money.
I hope we may go when there are some holiday days. I would like knowing to know more about their culture.
I am looking forward to going on this holiday/vacation.red is correction and what has been added and changed
blue is optional but I felt it added better to the flow of the story
green is because I wasn't sure which one you meant and to add extra explanation.
Hopefully this is helpful. I'm from Scotland, so feel free to ask me any questions. I'm glad your friends enjoyed their visit.
0 votedFebruary 28, 20150- traducción de un artículo de BBC sobre 'Jihadi John' En inglés: The man named as extremist "Jihadi John" received anger management therapy in his first year of secondary school after getting into fights, a former teacher has said. Mohammed Emwazi, who has been seen in beheading videos of Western hostages, attended Quintin Kynaston school in Queens Park, London, a decade ago. The teacher said he needed help controlling his emotions. But he was regarded as a "success story" after the therapy, she added. Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British man, who is in his mid-20s and from west London, was identified as the person dubbed "Jihadi John" earlier this week. Security services have been criticised for being aware of Emwazi but not preventing him from joining Islamic State. Y ahora voy a intentar traducirlo: El hombre se llama extremista 'Jihadi John' recibió teripia para manejar su ira en su primer año del instituto despues de lucho' en peleas, un ex-profesor dijo.

- Doing an online course in your target language?
Have you heard of websites like Coursera (https://www.coursera.org)? You can do courses for free. They have different languages. Currently I'm doing a course in Ancient Egypt delivered in Spanish from a university in Barcelona.
