Hi! My name is Sofia and I can help you learn English! I am on italki because I would like to help others to improve their English speaking, writing, and comprehension skills. I am originally from California but I now live in New York. I just graduated with a Master's degree in Comparative Literature, so I love learning new languages! I speak Spanish fluently because both of my parents are from Latin America (Honduras and Venezuela). I learned Portuguese along the way. And English is my native language. I currently teach English writing at the middle and high school level.

    How would you say: "I have traveled to Brazil in the past" ? "I have traveled" is different from "I traveled". So it's not "eu viajei", right?

    What happened today Hoje eu acordei tarde porque estaba sintendo preguicosa demais! Afora esta muito frio - esta nevando muito aqui em Nova Iorque. E minha caminha estaba tao gostosa e quente, entao nao queria sair. Ja a sair, eu tomei cafe de manha e depois eu fui a fazer exercisio com uma amiga. Eu estou treinando para um meio maratona. Preciso correr muito para me entreinar! Depois comi almoco com a minha amiga. Comimos num restaurante mexicano, Chipotle. Eu adoro comida mexicana! Depois de almocar, eu tomei cafe com outra amiga e conversamos um pouco. Foi ela quem me falou para entrar no site de italki! Entao a chegar a casa eu entrei no site e agora estou vendo como funciona. A melhor parte do meu dia foi cozinhar. Eu fez um jantar mexicano e sobremesa de "cookies"(??). MMMM adoro!

    the things i like the most

    what I enjoy the most in this life is to travel. I like to meet different people and talk with them. This inspires me to write stories. I love to read and write short stories too.

    I also like to go to coffee with my friends and chat with them.

    I like to travel when there are fairs or festivals, my favorites are the Cervantes festival, the film morelia and fair san marcos.

    I love meeting my friends, having a drink and having a good time.
    But what I like most in life is being with my dog, and going to parks to play with her.

    And you?? What are the things you enjoy most in this life??

    I agree, hey or hi is more informal and is not common in workplace. I use "dear" as the standard greeting for all professional emails. If I do not know the person or I am sending to a generic email address, I say "to whom it may concern,"

    You need practice with native speakers, ideally in a setting where you are completely immersed in the language (i.e. hearing it all the time!). I really don't think one can be fluent in the language until they put themselves in a situation where they hear, speak, and read that language 50-75% of the time.

    if you want to ask your friend to remind you to ask her a question it would be "remind me later to ask you a question"
