Profile
I am an American opera and theatre director who is living primarily in London. I am currently focused on advancing my Italian and German for work (and for a general love of investigating other cultures' ideas and literature). Hopefully, I'll have a chance to learn Arabic and Chinese (but at the moment, still working on those German declensions).

Wir haben uns wieder über viele Themen unterhalten und Giselle hat viele neue Formulierungen gelernt, die ich in den Chat geschrieben haben.

Wir haben über viele Themen geredet und Giselle spricht schon ganz gut deutsch, macht hier und da einige Fehler. Sie hat sich ganz gut geschlagen.

Les leçons se suivent, mais ne se ressemblent pas! Et c'est un réel plaisir que cela se passe comme ça :) Un grand bravo Giselle pour le travail que tu fournis à chaque fois!

Ich hatte bei Giselle durchgehend ein super gutes Gefühl. Wir haben uns über interessante Themen unterhalten. Sie ist sehr freundlich, offen für Gespräche und die Zeit mit ihr vergeht wie im Fluge! Ich bin mir sicher, dass wir noch viele erfolgreiche Stunden miteinander haben werden! :)

    274 - Wasting time on social networks

    How many hours a day do you usually spend scrolling through your Instagram or Facebook account?t
    Whatever your answer is, it'll always be a waste of time. I mean, it's difficult to realize * when we're scrolling through a page, but stop and think about it. How many times did you find something really interesting? How many times did you find something that has been on your mind for more than five minutes?*** For me, the answer is very simple: never. And for you?


    *What is difficult to realize?

    ***Did you mean to say?
    How many times have you found something that stays on/sticks in your mind for longer than five minutes?

    It has been on my mind = I have already been thinking about it (penso à qualcosa dopo un tempo)
    It stays in/on your mind = *after* you encounter something, you continue to think about it (qualcosa rimsasta in testa)

    じこしょうかい

    So, I've been studying Japanese for a week using Genki I. I have already learnt Kana and I'm slowly starting to learn Kanji. Aside from that, I decided to try to make a self-presentation.
    Obviously, I checked words with a dictionary as I don't have enough vocabulary yet.
    Please let me know if what i wrote makes sense and (what's wrong) what might be incorrect.

    I (io) is always capitalized.
    Languages are proper nouns, and are also capitalized.

    <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">"I checked words with a dictionary" </em>is grammatically correct, but better expressed:
    "I looked up words n the dictionary"

    <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">"what's wrong" </em>is often used to ask "how are you feeling?" or "what's the matter?"

    My Short Story: Magic Boiled Egg

    This is my magic boiled egg. If you eat it, you can become a chicken and you can birth a lot of golden eggs.
    But you have to be careful--you can’t birth more than ten eggs. If you go over ten eggs, you can’t go back to being a human. Don’t be too greedy. This one egg costs one million ***. If you make a lot of money, I want you to buy my magic egg.

    ***optional: can you specify?.one million what?
    "lots of money" is correct, but it sounds more informal or child-like.
    birth eggs = lay eggs

    A lot of the notes are stylistic. I enjoyed your story!

    Ich mag Beethoven Mein Lebensklassiker seit lange Zeit ist Beethoven. Wann ich junge war, habe ich Klavier studiert. Erste begann ich mit die Minuette von Bach. Später vor viele Jähren, verliebte mich ich in die Klaviersonaten von Beethoven. Ich mag das Gleichgewicht zwischen der Herzensangelegenheit und der Zurückhaltung von seiner Musik. Manchmal unglaublich, manchmal schmerzhaft, manchmal ekstatisch. Jede Versmaß ist voller Leben.

    TANDEM: Spanish - English

    It would be perfect to find people to practice English and French. I am from Spain, and I speak Spanish, Italian and Catalán.
