I'm Lloyd, from Atlanta, in the United States. I want to learn Spanish, because I now have Spanish speaking relatives in my family, and I want to be able to communicate. I was in Colombia just recently and my cousin was getting married and I could not participate in the conversations fully. It became a turning point in my life. I'm looking to learn and get fluent in conversational Spanish and make some friends.

Thank you Lloyd. The objectives are achieved by persevering. It would be great if you practiced at least three times a week. I'm sure you'll reach the goal.

    My daily routine part III: The journey back home takes me forever because I have to take three buses to get there. It looks like an eternity. Once I finally arrive home, I try to talk to my mom about my day and, of course about hers too. (But doesn't make semse here. Use it when you have two opposing ideas. For example, I like hanging out with my friends but I have to study). Usually I have a lot to do and study like exams, seminary, medical practices (almost every day I have one of those), so I go upstairs and get to study... again. I try not to get sleep after midnight because I know I must rest, so when it's close to midnight, I like to get a shower before I go to bed. (The last sentence is hard to understand. Rest in general gives your mind a break, while sleep gives your body a break. Since you are talking about sleeping after midnight. It's sufficient to say "after showering, I call it a night" which is another way of saying you sleep)

    Very good. The sentence is grammatically correct. Your question, however, is not. Instead of saying, "Does this sentence grammatically correct?" you should try "Is this sentence grammatically correct" You use "does" with the third person singular subjects only. For example: Does this sentence make sense?

    Los Bueno Viejos Tiempos La differencia que veo entre los viejos tiempos y estos días es los avances tecnológicos. Creo que los avances tecnológicos haya sido un regalo y una maldición en muchos respetos. No puedo negar la conveniencia que nos da la tecnología, sin embargo no puede negar que nos ha sido confiscado. Puedo decirte que fue criado por una comunidad. Como ninos mientras crecían, eramos responsable a los adultos, cualquier adulto. Mi vecino podía castigarme con la plena aprobación de mis padres. Nos dabamos un sentido de seguridad. Lamenté la pérdida de inocencia. En ingles tenemos una frase se llama “Arrested Development”, el desarollo arrestado. Que significa, al menos para mi, una perdida del significado de la infancia. Los niños deberian ser niños, pero hoy en día, los niños no tienen permiso para hacer eso. De todas maneras, en una nota positiva, la tecnología ha hecho el mundo más pequeño. Hablo con mis hermanas en inglaterra, Australia. Hablo con mi madre en Zimbabwe, me puedo meter en WhatsApp o Skype y hablo a mi amigo en Nueva Zelanda y es genial. Tenemos microondas, satélites, HD TV, y muy pronto almorzaremos en la luna. La diferencia es como día y noche. Eso es de que me pienso ahora

    Hello, friends

    Hello everyone, who is watching this :)
    I don't know what I can I say. I only want to write smthsomething now.
    Okay, I really want to know English very well, but i'm scared of thought that it's impossible for me I think it is impossible and I can't do anything with about it. Also, I would like to be translator in my the future, and I also think that it's impossible. Yeah, I have a problem with my self-concept self-esteem  haha
    Tomorrow I'll go to my granny's (granny's is short for granny's house) you can't imagine you have no idea how much I love her. You should love your grandparents, if you have them, I'm serious. You have to go to visit them and show your them love.
    I watched a series of "The walking dead" in English yesterday. It was hard, but I understood a good part of it big half of them.
    It's 5am and I don't know why am I writing that's all haha
    I must finish end this and maybe I'll cook some food, because I don't wanna bore you make you feel boring anymore, sorrrryyyy
    Goodbye, my friends с:
    P.S. take a look at these cute sharks, hope u like them :з

    Good work. When you are learning, try to stick to formal English. This will help you a lot. As for your dreams of being a translator, you have to believe. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. In other words, faith cannot work if there is no hope, so see yourself becoming a translator and never give up that dream. You will make it.

    Where does today’s food comes from?

    Sometimes we find that our food have has a strange taste as because we did not use to eat it while we was when were young(Better way to put is would be: because we did not grow up eating it), so we hated the taste of most of foods .
    what should we do ? (or more appropriately, what are we supposed to do)
    this status because the new farming methods which make the food go rotten and damaged by diseases so must stop using this way ( using chemicals ) in our farms (The new farming methods make the food or produce rot and susceptible to diseases. For that reason we must stop using chemicals on our farms). and We must improve the quality of crops
    and making genetic modifications (Not sure if you want the crops to be genetically modified, or you want to stop genetic modification of crops here. If you want the crops to be genetically modified, then you would say: We must make genetic modifications to improve the quality of crops/crop quality. If the idea is to do away with genetic modification, then you would say: We must stop genetically modifying the crops to improve the quality of our crops.

    If your idea was to do both, that is to improve crop quality and genetically modify the crops then I would put it this way: We must genetically modify the crops, and we must improve the quality of the crops)
    We must stop the rot of our society , there is no choice because after a few years, there will be starvation and then war, so the only way to avoid that is doing our best. 
    We must not let people starve

    Thank you

    Very nice piece, Alaa. I would watch out for PUNCTUATIONS (full stops, question marks, and so forth). Remember also in English, every sentence begins with a CAPITAL letter. For example where you say "we must not let people starve", it should be "We must not let people starve".

    Es Extraño Es extraño que haya estado cinco meses desde empecé aprender español en serio, pero no puedo dejar de pensar que estoy todavia un principiante. Siento como soy un adulto pero linguisticámente estoy todavia un niño. Cuando yo hablo con los hispano-hablantes, yo tartamudeo. Normalmente no me hago eso. Me parece que mi confianza se retira de pronto. No lo entiendo. Es diferente cuando ensayo conversaciones en mi cabeza. De todo manera, yo mantengo aprender a pesar mi falta de confianza.

    The day that I have overcome my fear

    Last Sunday night when I got home, I realized that I had lost the key of my apartment.
    My wife and I searched a lot but we didn't find the key. I figured that maybe I could have let left it in my friend’s car, so we tried to call to my friend but his phone was off. He lives in another city 20 kilometers from my city.
    We didn't have any money to call a key ring, so our last possibility option was our neighbor.
    We knocked on her door and she took to opened the door. It was midnight so we were too ashamed.
    I explained what had happened with us.
    Then I went to the balcony, the apartment is on 1st floor, the balcony is 13 feet high.
    I have am very afraid of heights (or you could say, I have a fear of heights)but I crossed from my neighbor’s apartment to my apartment by going through outside of.the balcony. It was scary.
    I had to break the windowpane of the door to be able to open the door from inside.
    It was a bad late-night.

    Good Work. There is quote about fear that I like: Fear is projecting what we think will happen in the future, but feeling it in the present.

    Formal letter

    Dear Sir/madam

    On 18/01/2016 we placed an order and the order number is 120000 on your website, on behalf of Juan Galeano Almodovar, customer number 470000. Unfortunately we could did not receive the shipment. It seems there was a mistake on the company name and since our office in Xirivella is in an industrial area, the postman was unable to find the place.
    We have already corrected (it sounds better this way)already our shipping address, so now we would like to know the procedure for you to send the package back.
    Thank you in advance, I look forward for your response.

    Alexandra Mendez

    Good work. Just watch out for the punctuation. Otherwise you have a good command of English
