Hello, I'm Carmel from Australia and I'm here to learn Cebuano, Spanish and Tagalog. Why Visaya/Bisaya/Cebuano? It's my native tongue that I lost fluency in when I was young and moved to Australia. I endeavour to retrain myself so that I, too, may pass down this language when it's time. Why Spanish? I was a hardcore tennis fan in love with Europe, so I took it upon my desire to learn a language from there. I chose Spanish and began learning it in high school for 2 years and then 1.5 years at university. I haven't practiced in a few years, so I'm regaining myself by using italki before I lose those 3.5 years of knowledge. Why Tagalog? Everyone speaks English at home so I don't get a chance to really learn Tagalog. I think it would be useful for me to learn. Aside from languages, my interests also include playing musical instruments and making travel videos.

    Buscando inspiración Necesito inspiración nuevamente para practicar español. Estoy segura que todavía tengo mis habilidades que he mejorado con los años. Pero realmente es muy difícil practicar español en Australia. ¿Algunas ideas? ¿Cuáles son tus tácticas de aprendizaje?

    Cebuano/Bisaya resources?

    Does anyone have any tips they could share on the best way to learn Cebuano? I'd love to hear the resources you have, such as favourite Youtube channels, books, textbooks (I really need one!), musical artists/bands (this would help a lot!) or other resources. 

    Thanks heaps :)

    Back to my roots I'm writing this purely out what I currently know of my parent's native language - the language I first learned and spoke up until I was 5 yo. I will replace what I don't know in English. Kininghanglan ko mobalik sa akong native language: Cebuano. Di ko gusto mo-hinumdum kay gusto ko mo-teach akong children (bata?) in the future. So, nag sign up ko sa Diversity Challenge diri sa italki. Unya nagsurprised ako kay nag list sila ug Cebuano sa mga "traditions." This empowered and motivated me even more to learn. Kung modedicate ako ug mga uras para sa akong learning each week, segurado ko moenhance akong fluency.

    My SNS routine

    I log into my Instagram account about twice a day. By using it, I'm able to stay in touch with the friends I care about and share information.

    In the morning, I usually check my timeline for exercise posts. Some people I followed upload their daily exercise routine. Following just a few poses exercises ("poses" doesn't seem right here. Suggest: "exercises") they recommended can make help me stay healthy.
    Also, for cooking I spend lots of time on Instagram. I search a recipe using a hash tag. Let's take an For example: If I want to make a meal with blueberry blueberries, I just search blueberries with a pound hash key before the word. I sometimes post my own recipes and the with my pictures.

    Using SNS too much is, of course, just wasting time (suggest: "just a waste of time" it flows more nicely). But Having said that, it is still very helpful to me (suggest end: "when used in moderation").

    Notes:

    - This was very well written and your key points were easy to understand

    - In the section: "Some people I followed..." I changed this to present tense. This is because you wrote at the start, "In the morning," followed by "usually" - so it is assumed that the action is still presently ongoing.

    Sino-Korean help Hello 안녕하세요! I need help with understanding Sino-Korean from 10,000 (만) onwards. Could someone please check if this is right? And if you have any tips on memorising, it'd be much appreciated. I wrote these numbers down randomly and guessed what their Sino-Korean equivalent would be:. 18,300 = 만팔삼백 65,327 = 육만우 삼백이십칠 700,500 = 찰십만우백 865,327 = 팔십육만우천삼백이십칠 7,800,900 = 칠백팔십만구백 9,865,327 = 구백팔십육만우천삼백이십칠 77,700,700 = 칠천칠백칠십만칠백 49,865,327 = 사전구백팔십육만우천삼백이십 천 Thank you 감사합니다!

    (15th January, 2016)

    I woke up at twenty past nine, had breakfast, and watched the TV series "Friends" (in EN). After that I looked through the social network went on social media then I listened to "Ensemble Khan Bogd", "Don Robertson ", and "White Noise." and I did the housework after New Years holidays. After that I tryed tried to listen listened to "Euronews"(in EN), but I can't nothing couldn't understand anything. I then I learned studied English to up until 5 p.m. At half past five I went to English classes before going to my English class at half past five. On the street it was foggy and warm (<em>alternatively</em>: Along the way, I noticed that the street was foggy and warm). On English classes During class, we learned about Present Perfect time. When I went While on my way home on the street colder and I'm frozen.  it was getting so cold that I was about to freeze. After English classes When I finally arrived, I then cooked diner dinner. At nine o'clock I watched to the TV show "What? Where? When?" I went to bed before 11 p.m. before going to bed at around 11pm.


    This is a good start! You listed things well in chronological order. Here's a tip for you: it's good to also expand on the tasks that you noted by describing them more and including some other interesting things.

    E.g. "<em style="color: #800000;">During class, we learned about Present Perfect time</em>" you can expand by adding, "<em style="color: #800000;">It was difficult to learn because English is not my second language but I will make sure to work on it before my next class.</em>" Hope this helps!

    Reading foreign book is fun

    In Japan there are no chance to speak English.
    There are many Japanese. Few people speak English.
    But when we go abroad, we can't speak.
    Cause we study English in class, we have fear to mistake.
    That prevent us English well.

     

    Reading foreign books is fun. 

    In Japan, there aren't many chances to speak English. There are many Japanese people but only a few can speak English. When we go abroad, it's difficult for us to speak because we study English in class and we have a fear of making mistakes. That prevents us from speaking English well.

    ¿Porqué estoy aquí? Quisiera explicar mi razón de registrarme a italki. Hace muchos años, yo interesaba en todas cosas de Europa. Me interesaban la arquitectura magnífica, las culturas diferentes, los países diferentes, las celebridades internacionales, los monumentos históricos etc. Pero, sin duda, me encantaba tenis lo más. Tenis me abre a un mundo de clase en deporte competitivo, rodeado por jugadores europeos. En particular, mis jugadores favoritos incluían Fernando Verdasco, Roger Federer, Victoria Azarenka, Novak Djokovic y mucho más. A la época, fui tan interesada aprender una idioma europea. Elegí español porque soy Filipina (del región Visaya) y mucha de nuestras costumbres y cultura ahí fueron influenciados por la colonización española. Por eso, yo pensaba que sería más fácil aprenderlo y, de verdad, descubrí que son la misma nuestra fonética y algunas de las palabras (como escuela, libro, bolsa, etc.) A la hora misma, hay algunas cosas que yo necesito desarrollar más. Tengo mal forma de hablar, conversar y escuchar en español. Leer y escribir son mis fortalezas, and even then, todavía usar Google Translator para palabras especificas. Tal vez le parezco usted que tengo una alta nivel de hablar después de leer esta entrada, pero le aseguro que es todo lo contrario. Yo aprendía español en una nivel académica en que escribí ensayos y leí artículos académicos; pero en realidad, simplemente quiero aprender comunicar en una nivel conversacional y social, porque estas son las situaciones en que usaré español. Así que me encantaría mejorar y tener la confidencia de conversar en español con otros hablantes. Les agradecería si me ayudan ustedes con mi objetivo y por favor corrijàme cuando fuera equivocado. ¡Gracias! Carmel
