I am a languages teacher in a secondary school just outside of London, speaking French and learning Spanish. I'm looking for someone to chat to informally from time to time to help me maintain a good level of spoken French but who won't be shy about correcting me when I do make mistakes. Native speakers preferred but anyone with degree level French who will spot the mistakes I make would be suitable. So long as we are speaking the target language, this could be very informal, and hopefully enjoyable! In Spanish, I have roughly B1 level Spanish and would like to move to B2 in the next year or so. I need someone who is willing to practice spoken conversations with me but also take more of a lead with these lessons as I have only been learning for about a year. As I'm learning Spanish to teach it to the British GCSE exams anyone with knowledge of the scheme of work and can guide me through the material for these topics would be wonderful. Merci bien et muchas gracias Jessica

Det var en god oplevelse at have time med dig, tak. Det er sjældent, at mine beskedne evner rækker så langt :) Du lærte fantastisk meget nyt på næsten ingen tid. Du fangede de forskellige udtalemønstre, vi gennemgik, på rekordtid. Jeg glæder mig til næste lection.Vi ses ...

    Tre dage i Kobenhavn Jeg har lig ankommet tilbage fra Kobenhavn, og det var min første besøg. Jeg troede at det var bare fantastisk! Jeg kunne godt lide byen, fordi den var sa smuk, men også sa lille! Naturligvis, jeg bor i London, der er sa meget stor, og selvom jeg kan godt lide London, det var virkelig godt at se en anden hovedstad der va lidt mere normalt. Jeg borede i Nørrebro, tæt pa søerne, og det var meget smuk men også rigtig praktisk, fordi jeg kunne ga pa hele byen uden tog eller busser. Jeg sa sa mange tinger i 3 dage: Rosenborg Slottet, Christiansborg og borgens tårnet, den lille havfru (selvfølgelig) og masser af forskellig ting. Jeg har også besøget en ven, som kommer fra København men nu som studerer i Lund. Det var meget sjovt at se hende igen, og vi har spiste frokost sammen pa tirsdag i en lille cafe der hedder WannaB cafe pa Stroget. Nu forberedder mig til i morgen - jeg er laerer, og i morgen ga jeg tilbage til skolen efter de påske ferie, med alle eleverne. Jeg tror at, det er mig som er mest triste af det, og ikke eleverne!

    No, to introduce an example, 'such as' always stays the same.

    Les Engrenages, ou "Spiral" en anglais. Je viens de commencer de regarder les séries policières françaises, "Engrenages". On m'a dit que c'est très populaire en France depuis quelques années maintenant, mais elle est devenue de plus et plus populaire en Grande-Bretagne aussi. Je crois qu'on vient de finir la cinquième séries ici aux BBC, mais moi je le regarde au DVD et je n'ai vu que quatre épisodes. Je suis d'accord que c'est une séries amusante, il y a du suspense et c'est drôle à voir les stéréotypes français, mais, franchement, j'étais un peu déçu quand je l'ai vu. Selon mes amis, c'était le nouveau thriller du type "nordic noir" (sauf qu'il ne vient pas du nord, mais tant pis). Mais franchement, je croyais que c'est plus similaire aux "Les Experts" ou les autres séries policières américaines. Bien sur, il y avait certains moments plutôt choquants - par exemple, le moment où on a vu pour la première fois le cadavre d'Élina Andrescu, et il y aussi les histoires plus frappantes que normales, le nourrisson mort dans le troisième épisode, et la question de la culpabilité de la mère. Mais surtout, il n'y avait pas le même niveau de théâtre ni du suspense des nouvelles séries du nord, et honnêtement, je le trouve un peu prévisible (elle est une femme avec une double vie, donc elle est pute? Vraiment? Ce n'est pas très originale, ni très féministe, franchement). Je vais continuer avec les séries, parce que le regarde surtout pour améliorer mon Français, et elle n'est pas du tout sans mérite, mais j'espère que va bientôt commencer à être un peu plus original.

    Today I finished my first book in English. Please, corretions and notes.

    I was angry with myself. Why do I not understand English? Why I can't learn this language? Last week I remembered one publication, called “le chat noir” (the black cat in English). This publication was serialise in books for learning French with 200, 300 600 or 1000 words, in my house I even have four or five book. I thought: would there be a similar publication for learning English?

    Last Monday I went to good place for finding books, a bookshop with an English section.

    Good morning, I said in Spanish

    Good morning, the woman replied. Can I help you?

    Yes, I said. Know you the books published by “le char noir”?

    Yes, the woman say. Come with me, they are here

    I see them, but… I said.. they all are in French

    Of course, say the woman, “The chat noir” is a French publisher … did you not know?

    Are they similar books in English?

    Yes, they are, I have in two in the shop: “Oxford book worms” and “Cambridge discovery readers” the latter with Audio CD.

    How much are the books?

    5€ without audio and 8€ with audio.

    Give me the two, I said and I was very happy.

    As I say, today I finished my first book in English, with audio, called “Quick Change!”. It has 200 words. The story is about one girl who discovers that she is a witch.

    I am happy.
