- My biggest mistake till today Studying journalism: that's my biggest mistake ever. What I hate the most of this carrer is that it's not that hard, anybody can do it. Just give a person three lessons about this job and you can send them to write articles. In the school where I studied, prefessors were not good and the topics which make the plan weren't well planned. Everything was so shallow, you never profundize in the topics. I don't want to say more but I have some other reasons that explain why I hate jornalism. Fortunately, I studied (and still do) another carreer and I'm plenty satisfied with it. But that's the theme for another notebook entry :D Thank you!March 23, 201640
- Discovering new music I love it! When you listen to something new and it blow your mind. The music I recently discovered was electro dark (I guess this is an old term, but that's how I know it at this time). It has a lot of sub-genres which are awesome. I knew since a lot time bands like Hocico, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly and many more. But now I know some new of those bands and I'm really pleased with their sound. Don't you love when this happens to you? Thanks for your corrections.March 6, 201610
- Declaring you interest on a girl Oh my! Ok, last thursday was a very busy day for me. It was shopping day! I deserved it after a long time not buying clothes. After three hours of walking, watching and choosing I finished that and went to my (I don´t know how to say "theatre lessons". Acoording to me, the "theater" is the place where plays are performed, but to say that you are learning the art is something different... help!) Ok, for not doing this short story, long I just going to say that I say to my crush that I like her. I'm kind of a ----- boy (insert in the blank and adjective that describe a person who make fun of almost everything and doesn't take everything so serious) so I have no problem in telling that, it was fun! Hahaha. She said to me she has no interest in me at all :( But it doesn't matter because it was just physical atracttion, not love. Thanks for reading this and please help me :D Note: I decided to not search a word on the dictionary and write as fast as I can. Like if it was a conversation and not a text.February 28, 201600
- Spelling in english There's a funny thing about spelling in english: I pronunciate the word -for instance, "language"- like it should be spelled if it was from spanish. I guess everybody who is trying to learning a foreing language does this. I mean, when I'm speaking with another person, I say it well. But when I'm writing I first say the words with mexican pronunciation, and then I write them. It's a great way for not misspell them. Despite that, lately I have realized that this is less common and that I can spell the word well even if I'm pronunciate it in english. I'm felling happy fot that! Thank you for reading and fixing my text ;)February 24, 201600
Día 36
He notado que cuando estoy pensando en lo que alguien me dijo (de esta manera, evitamos repetir palabras), en mi cabeza esta persona habla francés, sea mi amiga con quien siempre hablo en francés, sea mi padre que nunca lo ha hablado en su vida. Qué raro, ¿no? Significa que nuestra memoria (sin acento), por lo menos la mía, garda (guarda) el sentido de lo dicho pero no conserve (conserva) las palabras. Y, como en la mayoría de situaciones de comunicación en Francia mi cerebro tiene que producir o verbalizar los pensamientos en francés, mis recuerdos ya no están en ruso. ¿Habéis pensado que vuestros recuerdos sobre lo dicho no tienen lengua?0 votedFebruary 6, 20160- Rising from the ashes! Hello everyone! My name is Carlos and I'm learning english by myself. Helping me with books, videos and a little help of my friends and teachers, all self-taught. I made my italki account on February 2015, but I have only written 2 articles on my notebook. However, I'm planning on using this page more and more because of a reason that I am going to explain at this moment. I sterted using iTalki with the goal of find friends from all over the world who are learning english like me. But no one added me to skype or Facebook, and I didn't know why! I asked myself "If they say that they are searching for friends so that they can learn spanish (which is my native langauge)... Why they don't want to add me if that's the reason they are here? WTF!" Hahahaha. Then, I came with an answer, somewhat obvious: they don't want to accept me as a friend, maybe, just maybe, I haven't written articles, and, maybe because of that, they think I don't really care about studying a foreign language... That's the reason I am going to write more and more, in order to people can see I'm very serious on this, and so that I can easily convince them to be friends on Skype and we can talk over there and be happy al last! Hahahaha. Thanks for reading this. Your corrections will be truly appreciated. Thanks a lot! P.s. According to me, this article has a few mistakes. But if not, that's because I decided to write it very fast and without overthinking the words I was going to use.February 5, 201630
- A funny story I'm going to tell you a funny story which occured to one of my best friends. I remember I laughed so hard when he told me this, I hope it doesn't get boring because of my english skills and I will even try to make it funnier :P One day during high school (we were like 13 years old so I don't know if it's correct to say high school) before the classes began, my friend Jorge bought a Coca-Cola (Coke) in the store next to the school (What is the difference between "beside" and "next to"?). But he didn't buy a normal soda, he bought the coldest and, therefore, most delicious Coke of all the fridge, it even sweat! Let's call it "Coldest & Tasty Coke". He didn't want to open it but right after the physical education class, because he planned to give his maximum effort and drink Coldest & Tasty Coke as a reward of his sacrifice. Water is for lazy and boring people, soda is for the winners! (I'm being sarcastic) Imagine a sport movie during the moment of truth: the time when the protagonist realize it is all in his/her hands to conquer the world and be the very best... Well, during that lesson, my friend was that person. He was the man. The class finished and he returned to the classroom where the desiring object was waiting for the champion... And this is the time when I ask myself why life is so unfair, but I don't get any response. Coldest & Tasty Coke wasn't beautiful anymore: an evil mind had drunk the soda before the class without my friend noticed it. We never knew who was the culprit of such a crime. I didn't see my friend's face when he discovered that but it must have been very funny, hahaha. And, of course, I laughed for so much time when he told me this disgrace. Nowadays, he says he don't remember the story anymore, but it doesn't matter because here is his loyal friend to remember him the story :D That's all, I hope you can help me fixing this text, i'd be very glad ;)June 4, 201530
- A difficult story Hello everybody! I am new here at italki and I'm kinda scared of this experience because altought I have been learning english since I was a child, I haven't written to or talked with someone. So I would say I am very stiff. I'm going to make a little presentation about myself and my "english story". I hope you will help me fixing this text... My name is Carlos and I am from Mexico. I have been studying english since I was five years old. I start at kindergarden (In Mexico that is about 3-4 years old) and had continued until I was 12 years old. Everything was fine at the moment, but then, at high school, the principal and all his henchmen decided to divided students in two groups: the ones who they thought had an intermediate level and the ones with upper-intermediate level. My english level was upper-intermediate but, I don't know why, they sent me to intermediate... Classes were not that bad, but that wasn't my actual level. And I think that decreased my skills. Anyway, I continued with that until I was 16. Since then, I quit english learning because I started with italian and some other languages. Now, I'm 24 years old and I have to became a self.taught student. So, i can say that I have not had a real english class since 8 years ago! That's my story. But you know, actually I have improved my english a lot despite of all those years. Being autodidact has not been a waste of time (just a little harder) and I am proud of it. Well then, I really hope you give me a hand with this. I will be very grateful.February 26, 201530
