The challenges of learning a foreign language

Hi guys, I'm Lucas and I live in Brazil. I've been studying English for several years but I still have troubles with the use of prepositions and also phrasal verbs. When you're learning a new language, you get excited and try to speak as fast as you can. However, I think my mind still needs some practisce to think and speak at the same time during (during and throughout are the same thing?) a conversation. Sometimes, I find myself trying to translate everything from Portuguese to English in my daily life, but it drives me insane because you won't not always you'll find the exact word you were looking for. Although there are many resources on Internet to improve a language, it's up to us to practise and give it our best. Italki has helped me towards improving my range of vocabulary. If I had time, I'd rather stay here all day talking to native speakers than studying for schools tests. I look forward to learning everything about the English life.

Please, I don't know if the words I chose (? is it right?) are correct. and also correct me even if the sentence is correct but you wouldn't say it this way.
Thank you!

Your English is great! I understood everything, just try to be careful with the gerund and with the use of the definite article, try to practice thinking how like an English person rather than translating, translating is fine for being understood (generally) but in order to perfect your English you've got to try to think in English.

I'm happy to help you with this further if you want to get in contact with me again.

Practising a litte bit more...

*He paid attention the most out of all the students in this class. OR he paid the most attention of all the students in this class

To get the most out of my class on Skype, I record it.

I take have much pleasure in learning new things.

To internalize the most out of my knowledge, I write texts on Italki.

Perhaps,= to remember as much of my knowledge as I can, I write texts on iTalki.

Most of my friends are systems analysts.

I made out the most of these this sentences just to practice the using of "most" and "more".

It's a great start, you seem to be getting the hang of some bits, it's just the word order you seem to be struggling with as well as knowing when to use 'the'. I'm happy to do a lesson on using 'most', 'more and other superlatives and comparatives with you if you'd like :)

*The first implies the number of times he paid attention was greater than the others in the class, the second that the attention paid was greater.

Your English is really good! I understood everything, just try to be careful on word order in sentences and also you need to learn the difference between a gerund and an infinitive.

If you really want to pick up English quickly I'd be happy to help you, the best way is to practice speaking and listening with a native speaker (like me, or other community tutors, and I also speak Spanish so I understand the differences between the two languages), I can also go through the mistakes you made in this and teach you what you need to do to to avoid them in the future!

Your English is great! I understood everything, just try to be careful on your choice of tense (perfect vs preterite, as they are used differently in English to Spanish!) and remember we don't always use the definite article in English ('The' in English or 'el/la/los/las' in Spanish)

If you need more help (and you want to impress your English teacher ;) ) then let me know!

Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or not?

As I see whether governments choose to build railways or roads is depended depends on different factors.

On one hand, if there is a long distance from your city to another, then it would be better to construct railways. Because taking the trains save more time is quicker when people are having a long way to go. Also as public transportations, railways can reduce the pollution of private cars which is good for our air conditions and healthy for our bodies. Besides, it will be cheaper when people choose to take trains instead of driving by themselves because they don’t have to pay for oils fuel and expressway fees. But there are also some drawbacks as well. Building railways costs needs more money than roads which mean it is only suitable for developed cities. In additions, it is not convenient for people to choose anytime which means people have to adjust their schedule to the trains’ timetable.

Therefore, on the another hand, sometimes spending money on roads is much better. Except for the cheaper price and short-distance advantage, constructing roads can bring people more options of going outside. They can choose to drive by themselves when they have something to do urgently. Besides they can choose public busses which is also cheaper and more environmentally friendly. They also can ride bikes when there are traffic jams which is convenient and can strengthen strong our body at the same time. Also spending money on roads can make cities more clean and tidy.

Your English is really good, just try to be careful on spelling mistakes and don't forget to add 'the' where necessary!

The magical nail polish (with amendment)

The magical nail polish
My husband took home a bottle of transparent nail polish.
“See, it can deter our son from bitting his fingers.” he said. “Really?” I said, and went through the instructions. It stated that the nail polish works on kids or adults to discourage them bitting their fingers by its distinct bitter taste. From what point,somehow , my son grew a habit that was bitting his fingers often. I didn’t need to cut his nails from then on. Bonus? Good to me? Not really.
“ Honey ,can we...?” After being convinced convided, he allowed me to paint it on each of his little oddly shaped nails.
However, as a result, my son refused to have dinner any more that night after he used his bitting-tasted fingers to pick a chicken wing and the taste was left in his mouth serviced into his mouse.
How aweful must the taste be it could be to make my son react like this? Out of curiousity, I painted my nails with it and licked it slightly. It had a extremely bad taste. You know, Chinese herb medicines have a very unfavourable taste. However, its taste was even worse than what is of the medicine's. After drinking tonnes of water, the bitterness has not gone fell away yet.
I made a complaint to my husband that the nail polish had an unwanted effect, restrainning stopping/deterring him from eating food. And It was really too bitter to have it forever myself. Therefore, I no longer allowed my husband to use it on my son since then.
Well, Is there any better way to deter my boy from bitting his fingersnails?
