Hello, I'm Christine. I'm French and I would like to improve my English. I started learning fifteen years ago, but I haven´t practiced for 10 ten years. I am not sure of the words I should use (or "I am not sure which words I should use"), and I write in english as I would do in French. How can I say that I am learning English "again"?
Could you correct my message?
Thank you
Have a good day!There are many ways to say "I am learning English again." This is correct. Another way is "I started learning English again."
Good luck.

If I read just this sentence I think it means that the A-frame is a type of tarp shelter, but the rest of the paragraph seems to imply that the author does not mean that the A-frame is a tarp shelter. A clearer way of saying it might be: "The A-frame's basic design is the same basic design that tarp shelters have."0 votedFebruary 17, 20150
- The major difference is that 得 is informal and 需要 can be used in both formal and informal speech。 My copy of the 现代汉语规范词典 (a Chinese/Chinese dictionary) actually defines the meaning of 得 as 需要。Here they both mean “to need” or “to require.” 得 can also be used to indicate “should” as in “that should be sufficient" or "he should be worried” whereas 需要 does not have this meaning.0 votedFebruary 13, 20150
The days of learning a new kind of language.
Hello!
This is my first day on italki.I feel a little nervous.And I come from Xinjiang,which is in the western part of China [this is correct, but it would be more natural to say "which is in the west of China].I love my hometown.It is very beautiful.I haven't got don't have an English name yet.Please Could you please help me think out of a name.I can say speak Chinese fluently and know a little grammer.I hope I can find some friends so that can learn from each other on this.
If I wrote somthing wrong.It's Would you be so kind of you to help me correct it. [You can also "it would be so kind of you to help me correct it"]
Hope all of you can have a nice day.:-DOne way that you could find a name is to see if there are any common translations for you name in English. If you're not sure, you can always check online babyname generators, they'll have lots of good suggestions. Good luck!

My flat is located in the center of town. I live in a building on the fourth floor.
I have many neighbours and even though I am not interested in knowing all of them I get along well with some of them who live near me. For example, next to my flat on the right lives a family, they who are is very helpful and I know that I can count on them if I have a problem.
On the third floor, however, lives a man who I don´t know him very well because he always appears angry. He has a dog who is always barking and his children are very bad poorly behaved [you can also use "are very bad"]. It´s a bit annoying.
I think it would be better if I lived in a house or in a semi-detached house because of the greater/increased privacy.
There are a lot of things that I like about my neighbourhood. It´s in the in the city center which is good. There is a park nearby and I feel safe there. Another thing I like is that you can go everywhere on foot. There are a lot of shops where you can buy everything you need.
Some things I don´t like are that there are a lot of cars especially in the mornings, it is very difficult to park there and is not very quiet. It´s very crowded and noisy in the evenings because there are a lot of pubs nearby.
My neighborhood is a great place to live, but I think it would be better if there was less traffic and it were was more quieter.[Great work!]
