    <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">Quelques petites choses de plus: </em>

    "The Sorrows of Young Werther" is also about a young bourgeois named Werther. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- pas besoin du virgule</em>

    (I do not know if it is the same Wilhelm as Wilhelm Meister) <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- vous avez oublié le verbe </em>

    Je n'étais pas sûre ce que vous vouliez dire ici
    He also likes the arts, like literature and painting. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- Il aime aussi les arts, comme la littérature et la peinture</em>
    He also likes art, literature and painting. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- Il aime aussi l'art, la littérature, et la peinture.</em>

    He spends his time contemplating the landscape...<em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- on utilise le singulier plut</em>ôt<em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">, sauf si il a été dans plusieurs endroits (les montagnes et la mer, par exemple)</em>

    One day he meets a young lady called Charlotte and it is love at first sight, but only for Werther, because she is already engaged to be married. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- "but only for Werther" sera mieux</em>

    Werther cannot think of anything but Charlotte. e decides to move to an other city to forget her but he fails. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- another pas "an other" --- c'est peut-être trop longue comme phrase...Vous pouvez commencer une nouvelle phrase avec "He decides to move to another city to forget her, but he fails"</em>

    Day after day he becomes more and more depressed and finally <s>he</s> attempts suicide. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- Quand le sujet reste le même, c'est parfois mieux de ne pas répéter le pronom dans la deuxième partie de phrase</em>

    Reading this more than two centuries after the publication is quite weird. Werther's reactions can sound a bit ridiculous to <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">those of </em>us who have not experienced the state of mind of this era, but in its time, this book was very popular and <s>has</s> caused a wave of suicides. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"><-- "those who have not experienced" ou "those of us who have not experienced" </em>

    <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">Bravo! C'est presque parfait. En général, il faut faire plus attention aux virgules et aux phrases qui sonts trop longues. </em>

    My quickest answer is that many Western stories are based on a Judeo-Christian worldview, where there is a binary between good and evil, or a cause-and-effect understanding of morality.

    De retour à Notting Hill Ce matin j'ai fait un tour de vélo pour revisiter un peu le quartier où j'habitais il y a 5 ans. À l'époque, c'était un quartier populaire, où vivaent beaucoup de jamaïcans et autres personnes issues des pays caribéens. Chaque année (sauf celle-ci), on fête l'influence et la présence de cette communauté avec le Carneval du Notting Hill. À cause de la gentrification (un peu extreme) de Notting Hill, on y voit tellement de bobos botoxés se pavaner avec leurs chihuahaus, leurs caniches, et leurs poussettes de luxe. Mais il reste une petite rue juste au nord de Portobello Road qui garde son charme d'antan. Là, les voisins Cockney, les anglais d'origine portugaise et espagnole, et les nouveaux arrivés se cotoient dans une atmosphère amicale et sincère. Les brocanteurs ont toujours une histoire à raconter. Et tout le monde est d'accord que les natas de la pâtisserie portugaise valent le detour. C'est un petit village à Londres.

    <s>my week routine.</s> My Routine this Week or This Week's Routine

    Today is Friday, and I'm here<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);"> to </s>talking about my week. On Monday, I started with an article about pronouns and how to use each one. This article was <s>from</s> on the italki web site. On Tuesday, I studied <s>with</s> lyrics of the song, "Payphone", <s>payphone music</s> and <s>write</s> wrote down the new words. On Wednesday I reviewed many questions and answers about food. On Thursday, I watched an interview with Will Smith to practice my listening. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I'll practice my speaking with a native speaker. So, this was my week in lessons.


    Nice job!!! :)

    You could say "The article came from the website", but "The article was on the website" would be more commonly used.

    The indefinite article "a" is used before nouns that start with a consonant sound. "An" is used before nouns that begin with a vowel sound (more or less).
    A clock. A television. A banana. BUT: An apple. An example. An igloo. An orange.
    "H" is tricky: A haircut. A hexagon. (because we pronounce the "h"). BUT: An honor. An heirloom. (the "h" is silent")

    I/you/they/we write, She/he writes = present tense
    I/you/he/she/they/we wrote = past tense

    Hi Mohammad. Each city has official borders. So if someone lives just outside of Paris, for example, they live outside of the official boundary of Paris. This could be the suburbs, or in a neighboring village (that would have another name, another town hall, etcetera). For example, Gentilly, Clamart, and Vanves are just south of Paris. You can also say that a specific address is inside or outside the city limits. Hope that helps!

    Bonjour Alfredo !

    Voici une autre professeur...
    <a href="https://www.italki.com/teacher/7203246/french" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.italki.com/teacher/7203246/french</a>

    Juste un petit message pour vous dire qu'il y a beaucoup de pays francophones (comme il y a beaucoup de pays hispanophones). L'Algérie, par exemple, faisait partie de la France pendant longtemps. Ce n'était pas qu'une colonie -- c'était la France. Même si je suis pas fan de la colonisation ( du tout ! ), ça fait qu'il y a des gens partout dans le monde qui parlent français.

    Faîtes attention quand vous disez "natif" car beaucoup de personnes qui n'habitent pas en France sont francophones (Haïti, Maroc, Algérie, Senegal, Cameroun...la liste est tellement longue !) Imaginez si quelq'un disait qu'il/elle ne voulait pas apprendre l'espagnole de quelqun de Méxique ou de Guatemala car il/elle voulait travailler avec un natif.

    Vous pourriez dire, par exemple, que vous voulez travailler avec un professeur avec un accent parisien, ou un accent du nord de la France, par exemple...

    Some different usages of "provide": The language tutor will provide all of the necessary materials for the lessons. In their relationship, he provides a lot of care and nurturing. She works multiple jobs in order to provide for her family.

    The rhyme

    Your marriage is conducted by e-mail.
    Does it look like your imagined fairy tale?
    There's no fairness at all, don't yell!
    Contractions and expansions are around, like, every day.

    What would you choose - to be in the womb or on the bay?
    Malevolence is stronger than t<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">he</s> virtue<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">s</s> anyway.
    Magical siblings won't shield you through the night, but you may pray
    That no one bares fangs at you, so you'll be gay.

    You didn't fall from shoulderless long roads, that is okay.
    You think you didn't drink a homemade concoction, great!
    So, please, stay peppy, wear<s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">ing</s> a huge grin. Don't wait
    Until an outcast <s style="color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">would</s> comes and ruins the family compound. Shout: "Hurry!"
