I live with my partner Heather and my daughter Kirsten in a small village outside of London. I run a business as a financial tax adviser and a separate business as a business and life coach. In my spare time, I spend my time keeping fit and healthy, learning to dance and reading a lot of books. I have around 8 weeks holiday a year and spend them travelling, skiing, kite-surfing and windsurfing. I want to learn French so I can talk to people in France and other countries when I am on holiday.

Tu parles beaucoup pendant la leçon, c'est très bien. De plus, tu fais de moins en moins d'erreurs. Génial :)

    Hi Danielle. Sorry I cannot answer your question but if you send me a message I can let you know about a French english exchange group where you will have no problem finding people to converse with and help you with your French. As your messages are switched off on italki I cannot message you directly. Sorry to use your question but the group is a long term free solution.

    This is a difficult question to answer as they are all prepositions and therefore are used in a huge number of different ways. I would suggest you go to an online dictionary which will give you many examples. Then enter your queries http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/

    The new one is fine but it seems to be more difficult to find language exchange partners as there are not as many search fields

    My love of books

    I love to read, and romance books are my favorites. I like discover new worlds in different books.
    My favorite writer is Megan maxwell. I likes all her books, but especially " i fall in love" Te lo dije. My favorite place is the library but there  is no library near my house and so I have to read on the internet .
    For me, the library is very interesting, comfortable and very quiet.
    The best gift for me is a good book :)

    Hi Tunde
    1 . It sounds great – I want to learn a number of languages as I travel a lot and this will increase in the coming years. I believe it it much more interesting to visit countries when you can at least make yourself undertood by local people. I have been trying to get language partners in the last two weeks after I have improved a bit with lessons and have emailed a lot of people with only a couple of replies.This group sounds ideal.
    2.English is my mother tongue and I live just outside London.
    Currently French and starting Spanish in April. Next year start two more -Italian and Portuguese. After that probably Arabic. That’s the plan to date as I am now semi- retired and this has been on my bucket list for a long time.
    3.Yes. I am a financial planner, business coach and life coach by profession and positively helping anyone I encounter in a fun, cheerful way is an intrinsic part of my life purpose. I used to teach Skiing and windsurfing but these days they are still passions but only on holidays.
    4. Great discussions are great no matter who initiates them?
    5. New to it, but yes it’s a skill base I am very keen to acquire over the coming years.
    6. Yes. It is part of the territory for a life coach to always try and see life from other people’s point of view and work on my own beliefs and assumptions.
    7. Not sure I understand the question fully but I believe all our words and actions have an impact on other people and I always try and make mine positive.
    8. Okay… Enough… You know we are really sprightly and energetic, how do you think you fit into our groups?
    I believe I am outgoing without being overbearing and so I would anticipate a good fit.
    9. Always – recommendations are how I make my living and it is part of being a positive force in the world.
    10. To start with learning French with people who are learning English.

    Jean is correct

    Slang is all well and good but in my humble opinion correct english is better especially if it is a second launguage.

    If it is a lot of food in an accident it would be - spilling my food.

     

    If only a little it would be - a few crumbs of food.

    To keep vs. To keep on

    I initially posted this in the Questions section but I feel I'll get more replies by using my Notebook.

    Could someone explain or illustrate the subtle difference between 'to keep' and 'to keep on' when used as synonyms for 'to continue'?
    In 'women keep earning less than...' I was first inclined to use 'keep on earning' but it seems 'keep earning' is the correct way. Thanks!

     

    ---------------------

    I am a native english speaker. I think either is correct in this context and especially when written. When speaking the on is often kept to empasise the point made.

    There are two main ways to use explain the future in english

     

    I (or he she we they) will (followed by verb- for example I will go out. I will go home. I will eat soon.

     

    or

     

    I am going to go out later.I am going to come home tomorrow.I am going to eat soon.

     

    Both are equally correct
