С Романом всегда невероятно интересно, он очень умный и всесторонне развитый человек. Нам всегда есть о чём поговорить и время пролетает слишком быстро. Такие люди как Роман - муза в моей работе!

Мне было очень интересно узнать больше о семье Романа и конечно же он смог практиковать больше по этой теме. Роман настоящий полиглот! У него феноменальная память. Занятия с ним это всегда муза для меня

    'Yo lo ví' is the only acceptable answer, according to the DRAE. This is because 'him' is in this instance a direct object in this sentence. We cannot see 'something' to him (contrast with 'I send a letter TO him'.), so we must use the direct object pronoun 'lo'. Hope this helps! *it's worth noting that in many parts of the Spanish speaking world you will hear people saying 'le veo'. This is called 'leísmo' and is very common in colloquial speech, and is actually allowed by the DRAE in the Valencian community of Spain.

    How exercise can improve our stressful life

    Nowadays, many people suffer from stress due to ever more hectic pace of life. This is a current issue, not only for adults working more than 10 hours every day, but also for students with a lot of exams and demanding deadlines.

    As a solution to this problem, an active daily routine of exercise should be considered, just like most experts advise. They claim that if you enroll, for example, in a swimming course, or you try working out at least 30 minutes every day, you will remove all stress, forget about problems and you will even sleep better.

    On the other hand, we should consider the drawbacks of taking up an exercise regime. First of all, we will find it difficult to deal with our family life on account of the fact that we will have to spend some time every day exercising. In addition, the economic factor ought to be also considered because of necessary clothing and a possible gym membership.

    To sum up, in spite of some little but important disadvantages, a daily routine of exercise is a very good way to relieve our mind, reduce stress and improve our life.

    Very nicely written, just a few minor mistakes here and there!

    After partying

    After partying, three Americans wake up in prison. None of them remembers anything, why are they there? It is not known that they must be executed.
    The first on the electrical chair is made sit down. He says:
    - I am a priest, if the chair does not work, it is the providence of God and I am not guilty.
    The chair does not work and he is liberated. The second is made sit down. He says:
    - I am a lawyer, if the chair does not work, this means that justice belongs to quoting of me.
    The chair does not work either and he is liberated. Finally, the third is made sit down. He says:
    - I am an electrician and I assure you that if you do not connect these two queues, you will never be able to execute anyone.

    After partying

    After partying, three Americans wake up in prison. None of them remember anything, why are they there? It is not known (to them) that they will be executed. 
    The first on the electric chair is made sit down. He says:
    - I am a priest, if the chair does not work, it is the providence of God and I am not guilty.
    The chair does not work and he is liberated. The second is made sit down. He says:
    - I am a lawyer, if the chair does not work, this means that justice belongs to quoting of me. (not sure here, what exactly do you mean? можете по-русски писать?)
    The chair does not work either and he is liberated. Finally, the third is made sit down. He says:
    - I am an electrician and I assure you that if you do not connect these two wires, you will never be able to execute anyone.

    Nice joke man, nice idiomatic English :)

    Hi! I'm a community teacher and I can cover both those things, speaking/pronunciation, and grammar. I also speak Russian if that helps :) But to answer your question, it really depends on the teacher. Some community teachers will only offer speaking practice, but some will also offer grammar as well, so you will just have to look on individual teacher pages. Good luck with your English learning!

    Sobre la música latina

    La música latina me encanta, sobre todo me encantan los cantantes como Mercedes Sosa. Es maravilloso escuchar su voz, que es tan fuerte y dulce que me emociono. La música popular latina es maravillosa, habla de la vida en una (suena mejor así) manera poética y dice muchas verdades sobre ella.

    Mercedes Sosa tiene una voz bellísima, me encanta como canta 'La cigarra' :)

    Hi David,

    I'm not sure if I've fully understood but in both the active and passive voices, you would need the infinitive marker 'to'.

    'To allow someone TO DO something'. 'To be allowed TO DO something'.

    Hope this helps!
