Hello! I'm Mia! I work for a local agency as an Associate Editor. I would like to learn another language to be able to communicate to more people. I can teach Filipino as I am a native speaker. I am also proficient in English because it's my second language and I'm a near-native speaker. I'm looking for French or Québécois informal tutors! Talk soon. :)

    Survivant Caramoan (Survivor Caramoan) Comment allez-vous? Cette semaine je suis allée à la deuxième destination que je me suis fixée pour cette année. Mes collègues et moi sommes allés aux Îles Caramoan. Nous avons fait de la plongée et du kayak. Nous avons vu des coraux et des serpents de mer, nous pensions que nous allions mourir. Ma colocataire est somnambule et parle dans son sommeil. J'ai pensé qu'elle était possédée et encore une fois j'ai cru que j'allais mourir. Mais je suis de retour saine et sauve et trop bronzée. Ugh! J'ai hâte que mon teint redevienne comme avant! Je remercie en particulier Anne-Claire pour avoir vérifié la traduction! @ + !

    Ma Première Entrée De Journal Français Je tiens à remercier mes partenaires linguistiques Cherry, Anne, Mickael et Jean-Luc d'être patient avec moi. Je tiens également à remercier mon tuteur préférée, Marine pour être source d'inspiration. Et bien sûr, Google Translate. Ce fut une journée fatigante.Le MRT s'est arrêté et j'étais en retard comme toujours. Je devais écrire un autre article et faire un peu plus de révisions. Je suis toujours au travail. Nous avons séjourné ici la fin donc je ne peux éviter l'intense traffic. Allons-y! À bientôt! Hah! =)

    <em>Bonsoir Jamie!</em>

    <em>May I?</em>


    My Vacation <em><-( Title Case)</em>

    My two-week vacation <--<em>(Phrasing it this way is just better.)</em> in Spain was<em><-(Even though the vacation's duration lasted two weeks, it's still one vacation)</em> great!<em><-(The exclamation point comes right after the last letter of the sentence. Please avoid putting a space before it.)</em> I'm happy, I had time for my daugther and myself. We were lucky it was sunny. Swimming and watching the sea were relaxing. I didn't want to come back to France. Now, all I see is rain!

    ;)
