I'm from the state of Illinois in the United States, which is in the center of the United States. I'm married and have three kids. I work for a local goverment agency and enjoy language learning. I'm learning Spanish because I enjoy the Spanish culture and want to be able to communicate with other people. I am a beginner and know I need to speak the language in order to get better. I want to build friendships while learning the Spanish language. I'm also interested in helping others learn English.

    I love holidays

    Here is again another time for holidays. I love this time because of I don't have to work, it's great! Im not especially interested in Christmas. Some years ago, my last grandparents died and since then, for my family, it is a normal day. We usually meet for dinner, but without any celebration, it is a sad day for us. Next month will start the sales and that's great, I usually find some interesting and cheap clothes. I always buy things that I need, of course, I'm against consumerism. I wish you a Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

    Thank you for your corrections

    My passion for diversity lead me to move to France, in order to complete my graduate studies. As part of my master’s degree in France, I study the culture of Brazil, China and Spanish American countries. I also took courses about cross-cultural intelligence, cross-cultural communications, corporate culture in Latin America, and cultural awareness during negotiations. This has provided me with an understanding of how to communicate effectively within and among diverse cultural groups.
    Other than my formal education in interculturality, been being exposed and having direct contact with people with very diverse cultural backgrounds has allowed me to develop a strong cross-cultural awareness and the capacity to adapt to any environment. The South of France is a real mosaic of cultures, where people from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Maghreb, Asia, Latin America, and other societies are gathered together. I have also visited more than 10 countries and territories, and I participated in a traveling seminar where during 5 weeks I lived and organized projects with professionals from 9 different Latin American countries. All this these experiences have allowed me to learn to respect and appreciate cultural differences and adapt when interacting with individuals with different costumes.

     

    Very impressive!  Good work!

    Happy Hanukkah

    Today is the first day of the Hanukkah holiday. I would like to say happy Hanukkah to all (chag sameach). One of the main dishes for this holiday is the potato cakes which are called "latkes". The recipe is quite simple: potatoes, eggs, flour and onion, but this year I decided to add beets as a twist in this dish.

    Unlike many other Jewish holidays, Hanukkah is a joyful celebration. Since the core of the holiday is to spend a happy time (you could also say, "is to have a good time"), activities such as making your own menorah or playing with the dreidel are common things to do with your kids. Today I made my own menorah, and it took me around one hour. I am happy with the result even though it is extremely flamable.

    Tomorrow we are we going to celebrate the second night in a synagogue. Actually, it will be my first time celebrating a Jewish holiday in a synagogue, and let me tell you I have high expectations about the food.

    I will let you know how it goes.

    Learning another language

    I'm so lazy and slow for at learning a new language. I know that it is hard and I would try someday I would like to try learning french or another language. The Teachers and the formal education system taught me English for ten years or more. I understand nothing or and I can't remember nothing anything. I watch any movie and I understand what they say, but I can't speak English or write English easily. That is freaking me out.

    For other By the way, "Translate Google" is a hell… It is so easy, but is an evil tool, I'm obsessed with used and use all the time. :(

    Today

    I'm meeting a friend to have a coffee this afternoon. She's going to give me a book I want to read. I asked for it a few days ago and I look forward to having it. Before that, I'm going to have lunch with my family in the house we have on the countryside. I hope I don't spend too long there because I need some time between then and my appointment to do some things. I'm waiting for the answers of from my interviwee interview and, they could be ready this afternoon, so I'd I may have to finish the interview and rewrite it. I don't know what will happen today.  


    I don't know if you are meaning to say, "interview" because it doesn't seem to make much sense, but I have corrected everything else.  Interview means a meeting of people face to face, to talk to, or have a discussion.

    Keep up the good work!

    My first in time on a train.

    It was a dark cold night and the city was sleeping, when I left my bed at 3.00 A.M. I was sleepy when i got dressed sleepy and picked up my rucksack... I don't remember if I ate something anything or not, but twenty minutes later I was walking on the screet street and I was (sinking) not sure what you are trying to say here in this sentence on my sweatshirt. I arrived to at the station on time, but the train was late... 45 minutes late.
    So after 45 minutes the trip begun began and soon I fell asleep in my seat. I didn't know what kind of black magic had the train had because my mobile phone broke and, four hours later when the train stopped at Barcelona's station I was so concerned. I didn't know the city and I the train station was were really big so so big... how could I find my friend in there?

    Desperately, I walked around the station for many times, but without success. I was lost in a strange city at 8AM in the morning. When I had lost the hope to of finding him, he appeared! I ran to hug him, I couldnt's couldn't believe it, I had found hit him! He said that he had been worried because of about me and we both went to visit Barcelona.

    Dario Moreno ( Turkish Jew singer)

    This Tonight, I’m alone at home. (My wife went to on a business travel trip). I’m drinking brandy and listening to songs. I’ve noticed Dario Moreno and he’s a different singer for me. And I want to introduce him.

    He was borned in 1921 in Aydın and died in 1968 in Istanbul. He sang a lot of songs. But especially slow songs was were much more impressive. Also he played a lot of foreign films. ( one of them was with Brigitte Bardot). He could spoke speak Turkish and French. (He sang a lot of French Songs).

    He wanted to sink into be buried in a grave in Izmir in Turkey. (because he lived in Izmir and he loved this city) . But His mother (rejected this testament.)- I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. He sank into was buried in a grave in Israel. It’s so sad.

    His home is preserving preserved in Izmir and this the street name is Dario Moreno Street. At entrance the beginning of the street, there is a sculpture of him. If you go there, you can listen to his songs.
