Hi!
I'm Jasmine. I'm from the Northeast of the US but I'm currently attending college on the West Coast. I've been studying Spanish in school for more than half of my life, but my speech still needs a lot of practice.
I'm starting out by looking for just some practice chatting in Spanish, but I will probably eventually get a teacher to help me with my grammar.
Right now, I know very little Korean, but I would be happy to help any native Korean speakers with their English, and hopefully learn some Korean along the way.

SHOULD FOREIGN VISITORS PAY MORE IN HISTORICAL ATTRACTIONS?
QUESTION :
Some people think foreign visitors should be charged more than local people when they visit the cultural and historical attractions in a country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
MY ESSAY:
It is sometimes argued that tourists from overseas should pay more than local residents to visit important sites and monuments. I completely disagree with this idea.
It is undeniable that local residents pay more taxes and they seldom visit local tourist attractions.
So it is unfair for local people to pay the same price like as visitors if they just visit the historical places one time a year. What's more, some historical attractions can be regarded as local public (This is a VERY important distinction. "Pubic" means something else.) resources. Given all these facts,the argument against foreign visitors pay the same as local residents seems plausible.
However, I believe this view to be shortsighted. Tourism revenue is always plays an essential part in a country`s economy. Especially for many countries economy which that rely on tourist industry. Visitors not only pay for the cultural and historical attractions, but also spend money on other places like restaurants, hotels and shops which that sale sell souvenirs. As a result, part of these incomes could also as Taxes go to taxes for local governments who can use taxes to strengthen basic infrastructure or develop society benefits for local residents.
If increasing the historical places fees of foreign visitors the fees of historical places increase for foreign visitors they maybe cut the budget in for foods and drinks or some extra entertainment consumption. Furthermore, there may has be an a decrease in the number of foreign tourists, which will bring a direct negative effect on the local financial condition.
In conclusion, I believe that it is unnecessary for foreign visitors to pay more to visit the historical attractions in a country, although even though it seems unfair for local people. Authorities of each country ought to regard tourism industry as an important part in national economy.0 votedApril 9, 20162Work out!
I didn’t remember ("forgot" sounds more natural) how much time it had been since the last time I made worked out. I couldn’t remember , but my body…..yes could!! I’m exhausted and I’ve it's only been 15 minutes. I’ve follow one of those videos in on youtube where a trainer makes does some excercises and you just try to follow him. I realize I need to take care about of my health because I don’t spend time doing physical activity, and unfortunately I don’t take care of my alimentation neither, something which is important in those these days , because we eat a lot of fast food with a lot of fat. So I propose to myself to make exercise every day from now on, for at least 30 min, and to watching my alimentation too. Do you think I will get it? Well…I guess we'll see! ;)0 votedApril 9, 20160How do polyglots find time and resources
Today I watched a video with one famous polyglot on YouTube. In the video he was talking about jobs for language learners. Learning a host of foreign languages is not about talent, genes, and supper superior methods. It's about interesting, but and daily hard daily work. It requires hundreds and thousands of hours.
It’s very interesting for me how to quit job and to do anything language related. I'm interested in the idea of quitting a job and doing something language related. I see at least two benefits. I could do it for leaving a living (The phrase is "To do (some job) for a living.") and improve my skills at once. I would like to learn Spanish, Polish and German but to do it doing any other work is nearly impossible for short period of time.
Speaker from the video says that teaching your mother tongue on ITALKI is one of the options. I’m not sure whether or not Ukrainian is enough popular enough for teaching, but I guess I should try.
Thank your for your corrections!0 votedApril 9, 20161A Thought about Voice
Today, a piece of thought popped into my headㅡ that (The grammatical format that you are using makes it so that you don't need to use ''that.'') people's voices change over their lifetimes. We all go through a phase at in puberty where our voices breaks, especially boys. That's the most noticeable change in our voice. But our voices doesn't don't stop changing since then. My voice is not the same as I it (you would use ''it'' because your voice is referred to as an object) was in middle school. Besides, you can guess someone's age by hearing their voice. It's not difficult. I'm wondering what makes our voices change as we get older. Would that be something that has to do with anatomical reasons (It's more correct to say ''...something that has to do with anatomy'')? Anyway, I'm happy with my voice, since men with a low voices seem more likely to be attractive.Your writing is VERY good. Just keep in mind that if you are writing about the something that many people have of many people, the subject and all of the conjugations should be plural :)
0 votedFebruary 24, 20161- Tengo que fijar prioridades. Son 10:48pm del domingo. Todavía tengo mucho tarea pero he estado haciendo intercambios en español todo hoy día. Tengo un examen del Calculus el viernes para lo que tengo que estudiar y yo debería haber leído adelante del lectura para la clase de Español para que tuviere más tiempo libre durante la semana. Estamos leyendo Crónica de una muerte anunciada de Gabriel García Márquez en la clase de español. Me parece un libre bien pero creo que yo no está leyendo correctamente. Estoy una clase de literatura hispano y debo leer analíticamente pero es tan difícil cuando no entiendo tantas palabras. Por eso, sólo entiendo la historia básica y no el significado profundo de las palabras. De todos modos, hoy no gasté bastante tiempo en mi tarea. Es tan fácil para convencerme que todo está bien porque es productivo hacer intercambios. Y también me gusta hacer intercambios más que hacer la tarea. También, cada vez que una persona está en línea a la misma hora que yo, me pone muy emocionada y siento que tenga que aprovechar la oportunidad. No sé. Al final, sé que la tarea es más importante. Pero eso también es importante para mí así que tengo que hacer huecos para los dos. Y también para la hora de dormir. jajaja A menos toda la tarea para mañana está completa. ¡Gracias por adelantado para las correcciones!February 22, 201640
