Hi!

"To get happy

Why not to "get hurry".."

To get hurry is erroneous as "get" and "hurry" are both verbs (action words)

whereas in "to get happy" and "to get jealous" both are okay since happy and jealous are adjectives

However, it is more natural to use "to be happy" and "to be jealous"

If you have bonded with someone, surely there will be a level of difficulty when you finally have to say your good bye. However, the bond you created with some of your students should not just end with italki. If it was significant enough, you could always exchange e-mails or another form of contact information. In today's world where you can send a message to any part of the world with a click of a button, we should utilize such benefit :)

Enjoy your travels!

Preach! I specifically wrote that I wanna learn Spanish in my profile and yet some who don't even speak it keep messaging me  :( 

Hi Catherine. I also use Spanish songs to help me with learning the language. It's pretty cool since you get to familiarize the difference in pronunciations between Spain and South America (even among South american countries themselves). Here's my list:

Andres Calamaro (favorite) - Flaca, Te Quiero Igual

Manu Chao - Me gustas tu, Clandestino, Desaparecido

Kevin Florez - La Invite a Bailar

Las Pelotas - Personalmente

Carlos Vives - Bailar Contigo

Paulina Rubio - Me Gustas Tanto (kinda like Shakira)
