Presentation
Hi guys,I'm Luke from Italy and I'm a Strength and Conditioning Coach. I am learning English in order to increase my job prospects in Europe and around the world.
I completed an English course last year in Italy and I think that I will be a quick learner, however in order to achieve the best results I've decide to sign up for Italki.
Yesterday I had my first lesson with a Canadian teacher on Italki and I've been very happy with my results so far.0 votedApril 1, 20160- Ma'am is extremely formal. Only very upper class in Britain would use it, if you were talking to the Queen for instance. In every day speaking it would not be used. In the states certain parts may use it but again it is being very polite and formal. Even when used it is an unnecessary word in the sentence so you are fine to just forget about it altogether. For example "Excuse me Ma'am, can I take your coat" would work just as well and politely if it was "Excuse me, can I take your coat".0 votedApril 1, 20164
- The answer to this is that it really doesn't matter and there is no logical answer as far as I know. "Going up the road" or "going down the road" are both just slang for "going along the road" and shouldn't be taken literally. As a general rule I would use "going down" if it was South and "going up" if it was North. If it's East or West I would probably look at the gradient if it is a hill - are you literally going up or down hill? To confuse things even more you could even say "going over the road to the shop". "Down the hall" is a bit different you would just always say that as an expression, you would never really say "go up the hall" but even if you did people would still probably understand. Sorry, English can be weird!0 votedApril 1, 20161

6th notebook from Job
I have always wanted to write something here, but never know what to say when I open this page. Today an HR representative called me to do an interview. The candidate which they are looking for should be an expert in English because they will report to the headquarters in England. They want to find the right person. I have no confidence in my English, i get so confused. I hope to get this job but I worry that I cannot meet their requirements. Until now my English has not progressed, I feel like I have wasted so much time.Just keep practicing Job and you will get there :) the good news is even when you get things in the wrong order in English it is still easy for native speakers to understand. I could completely understand what you had written before I made any corrections. Keep the faith and you will be fine!

I have a mental affection I am thinking of suicide every day. - "Affection" is not the correct word here, you are maybe thinking of "affliction"? I would say "I have a mental affliction, I think about suicide every day." Today it’s your turn to withdraw children from the school. "withdraw" means remove but wouldn't really be used in this context, you would "collect" or "pick up" children from the school. If you withdraw a child from school then you are taking them out of that school forever. The sentence should be "Today it's your turn to collect the children from the school." You need to add the "the" to show that you mean specific children and you are not just collecting random children. What language is spoken in your country? This one is fine but you may want to make it plural as more then one language may be spoken in that country. "What languages are spoken in your country."0 votedMarch 20, 20161
