Hi, I'm Riley. I'm a high school student from the Chicagoland area. Besides my native English, I also speak Spanish. I learned it because my grandfather is from Argentina. I love linguistics, and languages have fascinated me ever since I started learning Spanish. However, I want to know other languages, and help others learn the ones I know. I also studied a little bit of the artificial language Esperanto because it contains parts of other languages I want to learn. Right now, I'm working on learning Latvian, but I want to learn more of it before I use it on italki. See you around! Hola, soy Riley. Soy un estudiante de colegio y soy de los suburbios de Chicago. Aparte del íngles, mi idioma materna, hablo el español. Lo aprendí porque mi abuelo es de Argentina. Me interesa la lingüística, y desde empecé aprender el español me habían fascinado los lenguajes. Pero, quiero saber más idiomas y ayudar a otros aprender los que ya sé. También estudié un poco de esperanto, un idioma artificial. Eso es porque tiene influencia de lenguajes que quiero aprender. Actualmente, intento aprender el letón, pero quiero aprender más antes de que yo lo usa en italki. ¡Hasta la vista!

    About current corruption

    It`s possible that many things don`t make too much sense because I wanted to use new words, so if it's used without grammatical mistake, try to avoid modifying it, PLEASE (my objective is to add this new vocabulary to my usual English)*


    Many people complain about the load they have to do, as they have been loaded with several assignments, but every person must fulfill their duty. They should realize that there are a lot of unemployment unemployed people who are praying for getting a decent job. Employers hinder them throughout their abrupt search of job* but I praise/laud (are both correct/right?)* their persistence and willingness.*
    Sometimes, it looks like they lack chances and they can feel fooled and isolated by mean companies whose policy is simply to make money. They assure that they have to confront prejudice day to day. These firms forbid them to live comfortably, so I can say they are occasionally treated like animals and I would never forgive such humiliation.

    The wide firm's target for increasing their benefits more and more and they will do away with any threat in any way, therefore, if you are getting in the way, you are a pain. That behaviour has been the reason because that they have been sued so many times, in fact, it’s impossible to count them.
    Judges are a shadow of these enterprises and try to find out the truth, but some of them sell out and back out of researching before starting. Unfortunately, this kind of unfair acts is happening, so it’s not weird/odd (are both correct right?)* to read about political corruption cases almost daily.
    It’s clear that the suits (or bigwigs) support these forceful practices and provide them the needed tools to bleed the people as if they were a dictators. It’s a shallow manner of acting, which is not precisely established by chance as they screen people, in other words, they will literally ruin anyone who doesn’t belong to their side.

    We can just wait calmly for the arrival of this these partnerships' sunset. Someday, they will decay and we will be able to reassure our future children that everything is fine and all these this problems were just a trip which disturbed the proper development of the society.

     

    *Okay, I'll do my best

    *We would say "job search"

    *Yes, both are correct, but we don't say "laud" very often

    *Another word you can use is "perseverance"

    *Yes, both are correct

     

    Very good vocabulary! Also, congradulations on writing a longer notebook; keep going!

    El nieve viene Vivo en los suburbios al norte de Chicago y empezó a nevar. Me gusta como el nieve aperece, pero no me gusta que tengo que usar una pala para moverlo fuera de la calle. También, en Illinois, muchos colegios cancelan las clases alugnos días, menos lo mío. Normalmente, no estoy enojado de que tengo que ir a escuela, pero éste año, tengo que andar a escuela, todavía si hace frío o caliente o algo así. Pero, no debo reclamar, no tengo que andar por mucho tiempo.

    Practice #12 Flashcards with pictures

    Many people use flashcards to memorize the words they're learning. Of course, me too, and I pick Anki, a famous flashcard application, for my daily use. Thanks to its iPhone app, I can reinforce my vocabulary anywhere and anytime. It's very helpful for those who forget what they study within ten minutes, like me.

    However, despite their usefulness, there were some words I struggle to remember. Even after reading these definitions over ten times, I couldn't get these meaning. I had to tackle this problem.

    Therefore, recently I applied a new strategy to my cards: Pictures.

    The strategy is simple. When I encounter a tough word, I go to a web searching site, enter the word, tap the "image" button, choose the most suitable picuture I feel and download it, and attach it with my card. It's easy to do, but really effective. I guess it's because human brains can remember pictures more easily than sentences.

    For example, I upload one of my cards. I believe the funnier, the more effective.

     

    That is correct, the human brain can remember pictures better than spoken or written words.

    Also, very good grammar!

    why do I want to learn english?

    I would like to learn English* because I'm thinking about moving to the USA, that´s why I´m here looking for people who like to talk with people learning or looking for friends from another country!

    I´m a confident confidence guy, I* like playing basquet basketball, the most I like is to be with my family the most, so I don't have too many things to say because is my first notebook, but I hope you correct me and the next time I will do my best.

    Thanks

     

    *Names of languages, like "English", "Spanish", and so on always have the first letter capitalized.

    *The word I is always capitalized

     

    Well done, welcome to italki!

    Yes, you would write or say "Three hundredths of an inch was mathematically a little larger than nine millimeters, so overall, the effect was proportional." And yes, it is a normal sentence.

    My diary(2 days)

    2015, Sep. 3.
    (There This is a my first English diary)
    It was such a fine day that my son and I went to drive. We visited saw the Original Picture of Picture Book drawn by Kurokawa Mitsuhiro*. My son was very interested in these. I could tell because he smiled to look at the pictures. We had a good time.
    I am studying English, because I'm not good. I may many errors.
    Thanks!

    Sep. 7.
    It was a rainy day. My son, my father, my mother, and I went to an aquarium in Sendai. There were many fish, dolphins, frogs, and more.  

    We saw the dolphins show. It was fun. The dolphins were high jump. We were had excited.
    Thank you to for reading.

     

    Very good for a first diary!

     

    One thing to remember: after a sentence, you have to have a space after the period. If you don't, it looks very squished together and sometimes harder to read.

    Talking about what is exciting for me

    Hi everyone!
    I have to writte a letter talking about something exciting I like to do.
    I need your help for the mistakes. Thank you! :)

    "Hi John,

    Thanks for your letter - it was great to hear from you.
    What is exciting to do for me? Well, what I most like to do the most is practice sports. I usually practice three kind of different sport.
    I go to the gym at the Alcañiz's sports centre three days a week. After that, I go swimming. I also go to run through the path next to the river on the at weekends.
    I love sports because they it keep you healthy and fit. Furthermore, it's something fun and it allows you to elimante stress, so later you feel relaxed.

    So that's what is* exciting to do for me.
    Don't forget to write back soon again.

    All the best,
    Iván"

     

    Very good, but I would also say which sports in the letter.

     

    *In this sentence, we would say "what's" instead of "what is". They're both correct, but "what's" is more common and sounds more natural.
