Hi, my name is Dave. I'm from the US. I want to learn Spanish and I want to find someone to practice speaking with me. I would be happy to help you learn English in exchange.

    Winter holidays in south of Argentina (I).

    Some years ago I went with my friends to the south of Argentina in winter. First, we went to “Chalten.” Chalten is a little town and very nice. There, we stayed three days and we trekked to differents places. The most important was “laguna de los 3.” This lake was frozen and we could walk on the lake. This lake is at the base of the mountain “fitz roy.” The place is spectacular and the winter landscape makes it wonderful.
    Then, we went to “El Calafate”. El Calafate is a city which surrounds a part of Argentina lake and it is at 8km from “Perito Moreno” glacier. In El Calafate we stayed 3 days. The most important day was when we went to Perito Moreno glacier. I liked this place a lot. It is amazing. We spent the whole day there and saw it’s majesty. Now and then, ice piece would fall and a great bang was heard. I would fully recommend this place. It is one my favorites places in Argentina.

    continue it...

    When was the last time you felt embarrassed?

    Hello mates!

    Sometimes, people feel embarrassed in some situations because of themselves or by the fault of some other people. Today, I'm writing about the last time I felt embarrassed.

    To start, my friends and I went to a party last month. One of my friends, Ana, had a boyfriend and her parents and sister didn't want them to be together. At the same time we went to the party, she went with her boyfriend to a concert. All of us were delighted because we were enjoying it a lot!

    A few minutes later, I had gone to the bathroom and when I went out I saw to Ana's sister. She asked me where her sister was and suddenly I answered that she was with my other friends dancing. She made a strange face and said to me: "really?, because your other friends said to me that she was with you!" In that moment, I started to blush more and more, and I didn't know what to say. I was like a tomato!
    After that, I said sorry to her for my lie and then I said where Ana was. 


    Finally, Ana and her sister were talking while my friends and I were so embarrassed about the situation. I never lie and that day, I did it for my friend and all of it was wrong!!
    I don't think I'll ever do it again. I felt really bad and that time was more than enough!



    **When was the last time you felt embarrassed? What happened? Who else was
    involved? How did you react? Write the story for your school magazine**

    How i learned English

    When I was a kid, I always had good English teachers. They taught me a lot. When I finished high school, I started to work and have my own money. I always thought that speaking more than just one language was really important. That's why I took an English course last year. I was going there for one year and two months. Now I speak better than before, but I know that I have to practice every day, because if I don't do it, I will forget what I learned.

    Aprendiendo español Voy a probar escribir esta entrada toda sin encontrando palabras y solo usando mi recuerdo. Esto esta difícil porque no he practicado español por mucho tiempo y no he recordado mucho. Lo siento que esto tiene mucho errores pero quiero ver lo que he recordado después no estudiando por dos meses. Estoy incluyendo un traducción en inglés para sabes lo que estaba tratando decir. Es difícil a mantener la motivación cuando he trabajando que me hace ocupados. Aprendo por una semana o dos semanas con Italki pero luego no aprendo español por muchos meses. Este es como olvido la idioma aunque he estudiado por mas que diez años. Es triste para mi porque mucho quiero aprender español pero no razón a aprender y luego no tengo motivación. I am going to try to write this entire entry without finding any words or conjugations and only using my memory. This is hard because I haven't practiced spanish in a long time and have forgotten a lot. I'm sorry that this has so many mistakes but I wanted to see what I remembered after not studying for a couple months. I am including an english translation so that you know what I was trying to say. It's hard to stay motivated when I have work that keeps me busy. I learn for a week or two on Italki but then I don't study spanish for months. This is how I forget the language even though I have been studying for more than ten years. It's sad for me because I really want to learn spanish, but I have no reason to learn so I am not motivated.

    My presentation.

    Hello, good afternoon!

    My name is Jose María. I am foty years old. I am from Spain. I am Spanish. I am single. I live in Bailen. It´s in the south of Spain. I am not working, but I had a job two years ago. I am studing English in the official school of language of the La Carolina, though the class is celebration in the center of adults of my town (I don't understand what you are saying here. No entiendo lo que está diciendo aquí.). My town is Bailén. It isn´t La Carolina.
    I like studying English, because it´s a language that is very important in the world. Though it´s sometimes dificult. Also I like to see fantasy or science fiction films. For example: The Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, Star Wars...

    Good, today I am not saying much. Tomorrow more.

    The Storyteller

    Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston, in the United States. When he was only two, he lost his parents, who were both theatre actors. So he was brought up by John Allan and his wife. He was a well-off businessman from Richmond. Poe, together with the Allans, were living for five years in the United Kingdom, where he began his education. Back in the United States, he kept studying at private schools, and then he enrolled at Virginia University. Unfortunately for him, his fondness for gambling and his alcohol problems resulted in his being expelled from the university. After this he worked for several companies, without much success, and joined the army, where he served for two years. During these years he published some books, the last of them was entitled "Poems". After the publication of this book he moved to Baltimore, where he married his cousin. His wife, named Virginia Clemm, was only fourteen at the time. Poe then started to work for a newspaper and turned it into a very important one. Also he was a literary critic and his opinions were highly controversial. When his wife died after a long illness in 1847, his alcohol problems and consumption of drugs got worst. Both addictions were probably the cause of his death, which took place in 1849. He was found unconscious on a Baltimore's street and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died a few days later.
    He is considered one of the best storytellers of all time, and some of his most famous works are The Raven and The Black Cat, among others. He is mostly associated with horror literature, although he wrote about other topics as well.
