- La vie d'un étudiant J'ai trop à faire et je suis stressé ! Je suis écrit et lis beaucoup de livres et j’étudie français et allemande. Trop ! Mais nécessaire...je pense. J’étudie beaucoup de sujets : philosophie, la science, theologie, histoire, et caetera. Je ne sais pas si j’ai le temps, mais je ferai de mon mieux. Ce n'est pas si mal. C'est mieux que d'autres choses ! J'étais dans l'armée, c'était moins amusant !May 22, 201750
- Premier essai Je ne suis pas bon d'écrire le français ! Je peux beaucoup mieux. Je n'ai pas étudié le français depuis un moment, alors je ne sais pas à quel point il est bon maintenant. Je viens d'acheter « Histoire de la France » pour aider. Ce n'est pas facile, mais je me souviens de mon vocabulaire. Je ne peux pas trouver les boutons d'accent. Conseil ? Au Revoir !May 20, 201710
- Should one correct the increasing practice of non-capitalizing nouns, and messaging shorthand?
I'm sure this is on here somewhere, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I've noticed on almost every correction the use of the informal usage. This is a distressing issue amongst our (native speaking) youth as well, however. So, the simple fact that the increasing usage of the informal English on the internet, the promulgation of that usage with our students, and the fact that English is an evolving language (historically), how much should native speakers correct this on this site? After all, isn't the point of this site to learn the language? However, the other side is to learn the vernacular, right? My problem comes with the students being ill prepared for when proper usage is a necessity and not an option.
What are your thoughts? Thanks...
May 13, 201610 Presentation
Hi, my name is Jeffery and I am from Bogota, Colombia. I'm new on to iTalki and I'm trying to improve my English skills. My mother tongue is the Spanish, so I'm available for making a language exchange if any of you guys (just an interesting note, where I am from you say y'all instead. It means you all. Different parts of the world say different ways) are interested in. I think I have an intermediate English level.Please understand the difference between informal and 'real' English when it comes to 'i' and not capitalizing proper nouns. Only in very informal settings is that acceptable, just so you know. Best of luck!!

HI, I wanna share my kids story reading. The story name is The Hare and Tortoise, one article from Aesop's Fables. The Hare had a long nap after he started, but Tortoise (Hare and Tortoise here are proper nouns and should be capitalized, like someones name) kept his pace steady pace and straight to the end of course. This story told us don't stop, even though keep the slow moving. There's several ways to word the second part of this sentence. One of which is: even if we are moving slow.
Below is the text of story. I really wanna (very informal usage) want to type it here, but most sentences I can not remember; I'll just copy and paste here....
The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. “I have never yet been beaten,” said he, “when I put forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me.”
The Tortoise said quietly, “I accept your challenge.”
“That is a good joke,” said the Hare; “I could dance round you all the way.”
“Keep your boasting till you’ve beaten,” answered the Tortoise. “Shall we race?”
So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, believing that the Tortoise could never catch him, lay down by the wayside to have a nap. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course.
When the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post. The Hare ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. He saw the Tortoise had reached the goal. Then said the Tortoise:
“Slow and steady wins the race.”

Just message me! Dont be shy. Leave your whatsapp or skype! I will contact you.(I corrected the 'u' , and the like, only because it's bad English and only acceptable on the internet in extremely informal settings.)
