I started studying French almost 5 years ago, but I never really had opportunities to talk to native French speakers. I've been a French and English teacher for almost two years now. I consider my English to be as good as a native speaker's, but I'm still not confident about my French. I hope that writing and getting corrections in italki will help me with that.

    TRANSLATION. TEXT 6 DAY 08/04/2016

    The mayor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad, said this friday (8) that the transportation app Uber must be allowed, but with restrictions.
    It's impossible to allow it without rules, that would be wrong and that it's impossible to forbid it, because São Paulo needs the inovation that tecnology brings (you forgot a word there) to be a better city. The right way to do it is with regulation, with criteria (not sure if that's what you meant), surveilance/supervision and with no overwhelming competition.
    The aldermen said that this is a new chapter of the private transportation service legalization soap opera, that today runs with no regulation in the city.
    Last year, under pressure of the taxi drivers, the government approved a bill that vetoed Uber in São Paulo. But, three months later, Haddad approved the app with a decree, thus without the need for  aldermen approval.

    The plural of Man is Men. So, the plural of Alderman is Aldermen. Just like the plural of Woman is Women

    The best technique to learn english. TEXT 5 DAY 06/04

    Hi everybody, today I'll write about ways that I use to improve my english.

    About vocabulary:
    Everybody -or at least almost everybody- likes music, and like everyone knows, the most famous and played songs are from the USA or the UK, so, for people that aren't native english speakers, listening to music - and trying to understand what it is saying(it means)- is very dificult because you need to read the lyrics(I think you want to say ''Translation'') every times. So, I got so tired of being a slave of the lyrics and  I decided to use it for helping me. (This part in Italic doesn't make much sense. I think you meant ''So, I got tired of needing translations, and decided to use it for helping me)
    When I read a song's lyrics, always have there are always (Quando precisar dizer ''Tem'' no sentido de existir, use ''There is'' e ''There are'') words that I don't know the meaning (words whose meaning I don't know), so, I started to search their meanings on the internet, and this helped me to improve my vocabulary very much. (Don't swear if you can't do it correcly!)
    About listening:
    TV shows, Movies, Series, concerts and a lot of other (another = um outro(a))things, those require that you to have a good experience with listening, for example, movies/tv shows. When I started to think (thought = past) what I could  do to improve this important part of my learning I remembered that I love TV shows, so I started to search  for the best TV Show to learn and I found one called Friends. Friends is a sitcom (situation comedy), so, the language is very simple, enough to someone like me that started learning english 2 years ago.

    Ma histoire avec le français Bonjour! C'est la prémière fois que j'écris un texte ici, alors j'ai decidé d'écrire sur comme j'ai appris le français. J'avais 11 ans, e je parlait l'englais, dejà. Alors, je voulait appendre un autre langue. Ce que je vraiment voulait était l'allemand, mais il n'y avait pas de professeur dans ma ville. Ma ville est très petit, alors c'est difficile de trouver des professeurs. Alors, j'ai commencé le français, e j'ai bien aimé! Maintenant, j'ai dejà 17 ans, mais mon français n'est pas encore très bon. Je crois que je peux comprendre quelque chose que je lis, mais je ne comprends rien quand j'écoute quelq'un. Les français parlent très rapidement, hahaha!

    My history with english. TEXT 2 DAY 01/04 *correct me, please*

    Hi everyone, today I'll write about my love for music. I started college 2 months ago, I'm coursing/getting a degree on civil engineering which is a wonderful course, I really like it. But, I think that if I didn't need money to live (like if my family were rich) probably my profession would be a musician. I dont remember when I started to listen to music, but that was a long time ago.
    Here in my country, Brazil,  we've many great genres  of music, like "música popular brasileira", "samba" and "chorinho". About music that isn't originally from brazil, I like rock (all of the variations), jazz, blues, some pop and other genres.
    I start playing  acoustic guitar 3 years ago but I stopped b'cuz of school/college, but I hope that I'll go back to playing it.



    Pay attention.

    When you listen, you listen TO something.

    When you start, you start DOING something.

    Negative past is done by adding ''didn't'' followed by the normal verb form. Ex: I didn't have

    Saying ''Kinds'' of music is alright, but ''Genre'' sounds a lot better.

    Nice work, anyway.
