    Gianluca, i'm sorry if you read from my reply that i thought it was your fault that you had a hard time understand your teacher, because i don't! 

    I think that a very difficult part of learning a language is exactly that - understanding native speakers, and it's something a lot of students struggle with. I have had the same experience with different spanish teachers. Some have been more difficult to understand than others and even though this can be discouraging, it can also be beneficial for you. I think the most important thing is to study a little every day, even the days where you feel that nothing works for you, and little by little you will improve :) 

    Wish you the best of luck with your studies :)

    Su.Ki. i must say i disagree with you on this. 

     

    If your level of english is intermediate, and you go from classes with an american teacher to, lets say, classes with someone from Liverpool, you really can't expect it to be as easy to understand the teacher, no matter how slowly and clearly he/she speaks. English accents can differ alot, and if you are from a country like Italy where you don't listen to english on a daily basis, some accents will definetley be more difficult to understand than others. 

    Ofcourse the teacher should adjust the class for the students need, but based on this short outline of the students experience, i think you are judging way too quickly. 

    You seem caught up with the fact that as a paying customer, you should expect a certain level of service, but have you actually read on the support page what a community teacher is and what you can expect from them? They are not professional teachers, and you can't even expect them to have a class prepared for you. You can't expect a community teacher to be able to adjust the level of class content during a half hour class, like you would with a professional teacher. This said, i guess there are people out there that should think twice before enrolling themselves as teachers. 

    "If you have booked any more lessons with this person, you should cancel them immediately". I think you are writing off a teacher on someone elses behalf on the ground of very little knowledge, and i simply don't think it's fair to the teacher in question. It may be true that the teacher hasn't been suitable for the student, but you are making it sound like the teacher was really horrible, and i don't think this is fair. 

    I wanted to get this message through, because if i was the teacher regarding this post, and i read your message, i would feel a little hurt, and i don't think that was the intention of your message.

    The book was decent i think, as long as you read it as something that is supposed to inspire and motivate you. 

    The movie was... Well, in my opinion, it was horrible... If you're interested in it, i really recommend that you read the book instead :)

    Mi viaje a Sudamérica Hace una semana, aprobé mi último examen. Esto quiere decir que ya sé cuando comienza mis vacaciones del verano. Lo que me gusta acerca de ser estudiante, es que nuestros vacaciones en el verano son muy largos. Mi vacación comienza el 5 de junio y termina el 1 de septiembre, y durante este tiempo, planeo ir a Sudamérica! Todavía, no estoy seguro acerca de los detalles del viaje, pero ya he comprado un boleto de avión a Medellín en Colombia. Allí, la primera semana, voy a hacer un curso intensivo español y vivir con una familia anfitrión. Espero que la familia me puede enseñar un poco acerca de la cultura del país y de la ciudad. Después de la primera semana, viajaré al norte con una amiga. Vamos a Cartagena, Playa Blanca y Tayrona Parque y tal vez otros lugares. Todavía, no he planeado más, pero creo que voy a estar en Bolivia y Perú durante julio, y en Argentina durante agosto. En verdad, me encantaría conocer a más países como Brasil, Chile, Paraguay y Ecuador, pero 11 semanas no es suficiente para conocer a tantos países. En el viaje, espero que vaya a aprender más español y conocer a muchas personas amables y lugares bonitos :)

    El ejercicio - Es sano para tí o no? Hace varios años, encontré un libro en la biblioteca con esto título, y yo creía 'cúal loca persona ha escrito este libro, por supuesto el ejercicio es sano para tí!!'. Entonces abandoné el libro sin mirarlo, y no lo he pensado hasta que hoy. No sé por qué, pero hoy me acordé el libro y ahora puedo ver como el ejercicio puede ser ambos malo y bueno para tu salud. Generalmente, el ejercicio es asociado con las cosas buenas. Es una buena forma de mantener tu peso, tu sistema circulatorio se queda joven, y en general, las personas que hacen ejercicio con mucho frecuencia, se ven mejor. También, libera el cerebro las hormonas como dopamina y endorfinas durante una rutina de ejercicio, y estas hormonas te dan un sentimiento de bienestar. Púes, hay muchas razónes buenas para liderar una vida activa. Desgraciadamente, si haces demasiado ejercicio o lo haces en una manera mala, puede afectar tu cuerpo así como tu mente, negativamente. Es una sensación horible cuando te lesionas y no puedes hacer el deporte que te gusta o no puedes entrenar tan mucho como quieres. Durante mi vida corta, he tenido varias lesiones, y siempre me siento muy deprimido durante del tiempo de recuperación. Dependiendo en la severidad de la lesión, puede afectarte por mucho tiempo y así impacto tu humor. Si la lesión es muy grave, tal vez va a causarte problemas luego en tu vida... Yo creo que ejercicio es como muchas otras cosas en la vida - es bueno pero en moderación! Hace ejercicio a menudo, pero escucha las señales del cuerpo. Eres bienvenido escribir un comentario y compartir qué crees tú acerca de este tema :)

    I think if people were a little more open to this, they would quickly realize how easy it is to live and eat well as a vegetarian.

    If you are looking to improve your listening skills, i recommend this site:

    www.spanishobsessed.com

    It's a website made by a Colombian woman and an English man, and they made several podcasts for the levels beginner, intermediate and advanced along with transcriptions of each podcast. They last between 10-15 minutes and are quite entertaining, i have enjoyed them a lot :) 

    If you have netflix you can download a program called 'Hola' which allows you to change the country of your browser. For example you can start browsing from Colombia, and this way you have access to the Colombian version of netflix with spanish speech and subtitles. The subtitles are slightly different from what is actually said, but it's still not bad! 

    Hope this was useful to you!
