Soy un ex informático del sector universitario, licenciado en ciencias biológicas e historia. Me encanta el aire libre: la caza, la pesca, el senderismo, ese tipo de cosas. Vivo en la Inglaterra rural con un perro, un huerto y un huerto de manzanos, es una especie de lugar parecido a una granja, pero no me considero un hippie crujiente. Indulto :-) Buscando a alguien a quien le gustaría intercambiar su conocimiento nativo (preferiblemente) de español con mi inglés británico/americano. Comparta grabaciones de pasajes leídos, conversaciones de voz e intercambios de texto/correo electrónico, cosas de esa naturaleza.

    please check my grammar

    1. Although I and my sister are not twin, we usually are said that we are identical.
    2. He stare at me when i said that my love for him has gone.
    3. Kabedon is a way that a man approaches a girl and lean a his hand against the wall.


    Trying to stay as close to your original as possible:

    #1 Although my sister and I are not twins, it is usually said that we are [identical].

    #2 He stared at me when I said that my love for him was gone.

    #3 "Kabedon" is [described as] the way a man approaches a girl, leaning his hand against the wall.

    Learning simple concrete nouns through an online game So I doubt this is the most original idea, but it is kinda fun. I've started to a free--to-play game called "Criminal Case" in my target language. http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/pretty-simple-games-announces-criminal-case-for-ios/608442 "The gameplay at its core is hidden object, but the story component is really strong" So I have two interesting ways to access a simple, but entertaining vocabulary: #1 [visual identification] from trying to identify the hidden objects in the game "scenes", and #2 [reading] from the story that ties the scenes together Obviously this is not much use if one is beyond just beginning a language, but I hope this might be helpful to some. ** I am not associated with this game or the company that makes it in any way, nor should I like this notebook entry bieng construed as my advertising for this game **

    DE --> EN. Is this correct? Wir haben am Samstag viel gemacht, viel zu laufen. I want to say in German "We did a lot of walking on Saturday." Is the above a good construction in German? Vielen Dank!

    There are many, many differences, particularly in idiom and word choice, but also in orthography and punctuation, and even grammar. A lot of Googling will help you with the principal differences. Two examples that spring immediately to my mind:

    #1 Adjectives stand in place of adverbs in much of American English

    How are you? I am well. (Br) I am good. (Am)

    Drive safe! (Am) vs. Drive safely! (Br)


    #2 some (amongst** very, very many) word differences.

    He is mad (Am) == he is angry

    He is mad (Br) == he is crazy

    He  is pissed (Am) == he is mad (Am) == he is angry

    He is pissed (Br) == he is drunk

    What's up? (Am) == How are you doing?

    What's up (Br) == What's wrong (with you)? As in are you OK? An expression of concern.

    'Whilst' is pretty common in BrE writing (maybe more common than 'while'). In American English this is considered pretentious.

    ** amongst is perfectly acceptable BrE. In AmE it looks odd in writing, and sounds peculiar in speech.

    Cheers is BrE can also mean thank you. In AmE it always means "cheers!" (a toast).

    For the most part a Brit will understand an American, and an American is more likely to be confused by excessive Britishisms.
