My first day on Italki
I am preparing for the TOEFL IBT test, and I realised that my weakest skill was the speaking section of the test. I decided to look for a website where I could improve this, because my goal is to get the highest score possible. Thanks to Google I found Italki and it was love at first sight. The web is amazing !
I have loved the English language since I was a little boy. One day I was hanging out with my dad and I saw two Americans speaking in English, and I asked dad: "What is that?" and he said: "That's English, another language", and I told him: "One day I will speak it just like they do now". After all these years i have practice a lot (reading books, watching TV series, speaking with foreigners, etc) and I'm confident that with practice you can achieve everything. So, if you are looking for a partner to exchange language and learn Spanish (my native language) do not hesitate to contacting me, and I will help you :) (it doesn't matter if you dont speak English, I can help you anyway).
Greetings from the end of the world, Chile !Javier,
It's so great that you found a website that will help you improve your English learning skills. I really think that you will find all the help you need here. I also would like to mention how your positive attitude is so refreshing! Good Luck!
0 votedAugust 21, 20161- Gabriel, 1) Usually someone who is in charge will say a sentence like that. For example A Mom can say “I have the kids doing their chores before dinner!” But it could also mean that you are not doing something alone. “I have my friends and family planting flowers with me.” Or you are talking about an object. “I have the movie paused until we get out drinks.” 2) When the secretary says “I’ll try have her there at 5:00.” It means she will TRY! Usually secretaries are responsible with scheduling things and letting their bosses know what is on their schedule. SO technically a secretary lets her/his boss know what needs to be done during the day. 3) For example, if you walk into the doctor’s clinic a lot of times the doctor doesn’t know who is coming in… until the receptionist lets the doctor know. When you call to make an appointment somewhere you are usually going to be talking to the receptionist/ secretary and they write it down on a calendar or a scheduler to let their boss know who or what to expect that day, week, or month.0 votedAugust 15, 20160
- 1) Yes! If someone gives you and excuse that you don’t believe, or it’s not a good enough excuse. You can say “that excuse is not going to fly” (meaning you won’t let them get away with the excuse) Example: Person 1: Sorry I’m late to work again. I couldn’t find my shoe. Person 2: That excuse isn’t going to fly! That's the fourth time your late this week! 2) You can use “He is snooping around (the/our/ your/ my) (PLACE: restaurant/house/ dumpster). You could also end it there. “He is snooping around.” (a) You can also say “He is snooping through her phone” or “…through her stuff” 3) For internet or WIFI connections you will usually hear people say “I’m not getting a(n) internet/wireless signal” A) You can also say “There isn't an internet signal here.” Or “my (internet/connection/signal) dropped.” *IF you are holding your phone or lap top people will understand what you mean when you say: “I’m not getting a signal” or “I don’t have a connection”0 votedAugust 15, 20160
- The Queen of Sheba is from biblical times. She was a powerful and wealthy queen from Ethiopia. If someone says that you are acting like you're the Queen of Sheba they could be saying you are acting like you are high and mighty (like the Queen of Sheba) and better than everyone else.0 votedAugust 12, 20160
[English Practice] Writing a review
Writing a E cigarette liquid review.
As I told you before, I'm an E-Cig user, Halo is one of my favorite E liquid brands.
Yesterday, I found that I can earn a halo point for writing a review.
So I'll try to write a review of it.
Turkish Tobacco have has been my favorite E liquid for 6 months.
It smells like a fresh grass. It's a very very unique smell. So I guess some people like it and some do not.
When I first tried it, I didn't like it, but after a week later, it became was my favorite E juice.
I think it's because I don't like sweet things or too strong smells. Turkish Tobacco has dim grass smell.Remember to stay focused on why you like or dislike the product. Is (dim grass) your favorite flavor? If not you should just stick to what you like and why you like it. This is a good review. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Jamas Rose,
I know that learning a new language can be tough, but I'll tell you a trick that someone shared with me...When you are learning a new word (for example "chair") instead of thinking chair and then translating it to a different language. Give it the name...like I speak english but I am trying to learn Spanish when I see a chair I would normally think Chair, then think (Silla- spanish for chair), but instead of doing that in my mind i give the chair a second name so it is chair and silla...so I won't be translating and having to remember the meaning. Does that make sense?

Have a nice day.0 votedJune 29, 20161The Trip In The Kyusyu Area Of Japan Day1
My husband and I went to Kyusyu by airplane. My husband's parents live there. On the first day we took a 9:30 flight from Tokyo to Fukuoka and arrived at 11:30. Then we rode the subway and arrived at Tenjin station, we ate Udon noodle for lunch, and took a walk around Tenjin station. After a while, we got on the highway bus and arrived at the highway bus stop near his parent's home. His father came to pick us up by car and we arrived at his house at 4 o'clock pm.
We spent time talking to each other and playing instruments with them at dinner. After dinner the whole family watched fireflies for just a little while. Fireflies can live one to two weeks. Their life is transitory. I also took a walk around the house late at night.0 votedJune 13, 20161
