Hola. Tengo 22 años y soy de irlanda. Soy una estudiante y quiero aprender más español. Yo no hablo muy bien, lo siento! I have been learning on duolingo for 3 months and am at a VERY LOW LEVEL but I am eager to learn. I also want to help others improve their English.

    It's "Student-ly" stupid.

    (It's something that I've written quite a long time ago in my personal web blog, but I know that there are lots of mistakes that I can't see, hope you can help me finding them, Thanks! )

    Let’s be clear. What I don’t stand about going to College are those spoiled brats who think they’re superior to everyone else just because of their education, wealth and high marks. They reveal a kind of aura that knocks me back (reveal is slightly awkward here, I would probably use exude? Might simply be personal preference though. Sorry this is vague!) : Just because of these “achievements”, they truly believe that they do deserve everything they have, and everything they want.

    What really drives me nuts is that feeling of being constantly looked down upon, like I am actually being treated like an idiot because there are no common hobbies nor interests between us. What do they expect? Of course people who aren’t as “smart” as they are will have their own things to do instead of being a nuisance while bragging about their intelligence and superior IQ.

    Is it so hard to be a little bit humbler? I don’t know.

    There isn’t any guilt by having born smarter than everyone who surrounds them, but, why do they want to look better in front of people? Why do they have to put down people who want to know them? Or better said, to “save them from going down that tormented path”?

    What this proves me is that they’re in need. This attitude will only give them pain over time. But it might not be something I should take care of since I hate dealing with people who are a personified exhibition of narcissism that constantly need to fuel their ego with people’s recognition and praising in order to evade what they fear the most: being forgotten. (I like this paragraph!)

    A spoiled kid will always need attention since praises are the only thing they are used to hearing from others mouths.

    As for me, I might be sillier and more stupid than they are. And I recognise that these people are really intelligent. However, despite them possessing an unrivalized ability to learn and memorize books and lessons, everything they know are just that, books.

    There is always something to be learned, and books don’t cover everything you have to learn in life. You may find learning opportunities in people, in places, in events, and what’s more important, in yourself. Don’t be a D-bag. When you are really good at something, you don’t have to do anything. The world will tell you.

    First Entry

    Hi, I am Carolina, I was searching for a page like this because I need to improve my English and keep fresh what I know, also, I'm starting to learn German and I'm really excited about this, but I'm just in my early learning then I still don't feel ready to speak it; and for my English (that I've learned mostly by my own) I'm interested in fluent english speakers, especially natives, I love british english but american is great for me too. The last years I have been practicing English with foreign visitors and even teaching them Spanish and it was very good for me, I like to teaching, help people and exchange knowledge. I'm a perfectionist with pronunciation (I study Classical Singing) but I feel like I do better writing than speaking English, I'm still a little afraid of speak because I don't have so much fluency, and well, I think that's all, regards for the readers and don't hesitate to correct me :).

    Mis palabras primeras Hola, esta es la página primera de mi cuaderno. Yo vivo con mi papá y mi hermana menor en Irlanda. Yo también tengo un hermano menor pero él está en América por uno año. Él es un estudiante allí y él quiero ser un ingeniero. Según de él, la comida en América no es buena. Somos vegetarianos, quizá es por esta razón que él no puede encontrar comida que le gusta. Pero él es muy quisquilloso con su comida. A veces pienso qué él solamente quiere comer pizza por todos las comidas, sin hongos y cebollas por supuesto- él nunca come eses vegetales. Además tenemos un gato. Su nombre es Peter. El es blanco, negro y muy bonito. Él tiene un juguete que es un ratón azul. Él quiere jugar con su ratón todos los días. Cuándo Peter no puede encontrar su ratón él hace mucho ruido hasta yo lo encuentro. Peter duerme sobre nuestras mesas en la noche. A veces él quiere jugar en la noche cuándo dormimos- pero nosotros no jugamos con él a esta hora. Gracias por leer y lo siento por mis errores! :)
