Greetings, my name is Lilly. My native language is English, and I am willing to help anyone else out with their English! I have been studying Spanish for 4.5 years, Japanese for a total of 2.5 years (1 year in school), American Sign Language for 1 semester (I still remember the basics), and am considering beginning to learn Mandarin Chinese or Vietnamese. Language and culture fascinates me. I love to learn how to communicate with people from around the world. I plan on traveling across the globe someday, and want to be prepared. This summer, I am in desperate need of a language partner. I have no one to practice Spanish with, have a Japanese tutor once a week, and find time for Sign Language if I'm lucky. As I have said before, I am considering adding Mandarin or Vietnamese to the mix, but those are not as high priority at the moment. I am looking for text/voice chats, but would also be fine with email. Please let me know if I can help your English in any way! Thank you!

    Could you please correct this essay? Thank you in advance.

    In my opinion, the way of life in any country is determined by the culture of people living there. Once the cultures significantly differed from each other around the world. However, due to the emergence of the communicative devices such as phones, TV, satellite and so on, the cultures, and as a result the way of life, have gotten closed to each other. Clearly My country is not an exception too. The Plenty of things have been changed over the time, but what is now in my mind is the change in women's lifestyle. In the past, they usually stayed at home and did housework like raising children, cooking, washing dishes and so on. In return, the men were responsible for supplying (supporting) the whole family financially. Consequently, they spent most of their time out of the house, working to get enough income to supply (to take care of) their family. But nowadays, both men and women work outside of the house and do housework together. To me, this is a good stuff (thing). But one of the negative changes in the modern lifestyle, according to me, is little physical movements (exercise) in the daily life. Because It leads to many kinds of decease damages the human body both physically and mentally.

    Bold: ”Cultures from around the world are significantly different from each other." That might be a better way to phrase it.

    "but the lifestyles of women have especially changed" would be another way to say it.

    Great job! Keep going! c:

    Rain thrummed on the zinc roof. The air was cooling, mother and I sat in the living room, looking outside the house. Through the open door, we were gazing up at the grey sky, and enamored by the sounds of the rain.

    Your English is perfect, I'm impressed! Well done.

    "We might thanked our bad habits of being a disorganize, unpuctual, and procrastinating person that lead us to failure" I think you might mean something similar to: "It is our bad habits that lead us to fail." You could also arrange it to say "It is thanks to bad habits such as being disorganized and late that people fail."

    A Part Of My Essay 2

    From my point of view, technology is a typical means to achieve human’s different aims. Thus, it is similar to the human’s various opinions.The value of technology depends on the judgment by the humans. 

    Bold: I do not understand this sentence. I believe you are trying to say "Thus, it is subject to the people's various opinions." Meaning: many people have different opinions on it. If that is what you are trying to say, it is a simple fix. c: Good luck!

    Also, it may be better to say "The value of technology depends on human judgement"

    Very good job! :)

    EDIT: The underlined  the  is not needed! Just "Thus, it is subject to the people's various opinions"

    My experience on the ANTI World Tour

    Monday night was and will be the funiest most fun of this week, probably of this month. This was the second time that I went to a Rihanna's concert in San Diego, the last one was at the Valley View Casino Center, now in the Viejas Arena at the San Diego State University. To be continued...

    Bold: Pienso que puede cambiarlo completamente. Algo como "Monday night was really fun, probably the best night of this month" Best es como "lo mejor", y pienso que eso es que ha querido decir. El consejo de Mike Helbach esta bien también.

    日本語のにっき（１日） 今日は、みんなさん！お元気ですか？私の名前は「りり」です。よろしくおねがいします！今は、日本語の一年生です、でも漢字を勉強しています。漢字はとても難しいと思います。書くも難しいです。ここに、ぜんぶの漢字をよめます。ときどき（まあ、たいてい）、ひらがなをタイプをします。ひらがなのことば、漢字があります＊（もちろん、わかります。）でも、よめません。ごめんなさい、私の日本語はかんぺきではありません、でもがんばりますよ！～　いっしょに勉強しましょう！：３ ＊英語:　"The hiragana words have kanji, of course, I understand that, but I cannot read (their kanji)".

    Español (Día 1) Hola, es mi primer día oficial a usar italki, y me siento muy emocionada aprender y practicar más de los idiomas que estoy estudiando. Un poco mas sobre mis razones de estudiar las lenguajes y por cuanto tiempo los he estudiado. Si hay errores, dígamelos por favor. Mi español no es lo mejor, pero quiero aprender y mejorar el español. Gracias! He estudiado español por 4 años y medio. Fue el primer idioma extranjero que estudié. Lo empecé en escuela, y me interesaba mucho. Desde que yo empecé a aprender, he viajado a Costa Rica y España. Actualmente, estudié en España por un mes con un grupo de estudiantes en la prepa. Ahora, tengo un acento de España, jajaja. Solo un mes, y no puedo escapar el acento! No tengo clase en este momento para usar y practicar mi español, pero cada día, veo las noticias en español. Estudiaré más español en la universidad, y quiero ser parte del Peace Corps en el futuro. Eso es un gran meta, pero estoy tratando lograrlo. En mismo tiempo, estoy estudiando japones. Es muy diferente, no? He querido aprender japones por lo que parece para siempre. La cultura japonesa es interesante, en mi opinión. Escucho a bastante música japonesa para practicar comprensión. Escribir es lo más difícil. Es necesario que recuerde cada linea. Pero me encanta los idiomas, las culturas, y el sonido de personas usando su idioma natal para charlar conmigo. A veces es difícil entender, pero yo quiero ser fluida en muchas lenguas en el futuro. También, estoy estudiando un poco de lenguaje de señales norteamericanos (ASL). Casi cada viernes o sábado, voy a un Starbucks para conversar (con mis manos) con los sordos y otras personas aprendiendo ASL. Alguien puede recomendar un telenovela o show en español que debo mirar durante el verano para ayudar con mi español? Quiero charlar sobre algo así y mejorar mis habilidades. Gracias por su ayuda!
