Hi there, I'm a young adventurer looking to reclaim my Swedish and continue expanding my German skills. I'm looking for language partners to practice Swedish with. In exchange, I'd love to help you practice your English or German. I work as a tutor for a college here in the US, as well as at a camping store. When I'm not studying I love to enjoy the great outdoors. If you're interested in a language exchange feel free to send me a message, looking forward to hearing from you :) Please note: I am unfortunately not available to help you practice English if you do not speak a language I am learning.I am already an English tutor and help many friends and students. Best of luck, but please do not send me messages asking for help in English if you are not interested in a language exchange. At this time I am only interested in language exchanges and penpal ships. If I become available to take on another English student, I will edit this to reflect that. Thanks for understanding.

Jag förstår att du kände dig lite stressad efter trafikkaoset, men det ju bra i alla fall. Du behöver dock repetera hjälpverb + infinitiv!

    Tenth exercise. Practicing writing.

    Hi everybody
    I am writing today from a very cold night here in Spain*. The temperature has fallen down ("Down" is not necessary here, as the only way to fall is down. However having it here is not wrong either).  severely and it's freezing almost everywhere here in the Iberian peninsula.
    We are putting the heating systems to their maximum performance to compensate for the outside cold. We are using the warmest clothes we have available, not going outside unless it is essential.
    Really, it's a good night for staying at home and watching television.
    Perhaps we'll be lucky and tomorrow when we'll  we get up we'll find everything white and snowy.
    It should be a great day for children, they should  will play with snow making snow wars  (again, saying "making snow wars" is not really wrong, it's just that it is more often called a "snowball fight" ) having snowball fights and making big dolls  snowmen. 

    Thank you for your help.

    *this sentence is techniquelly correct, however I understand how it could be misunderstood. You could also say, "I am writing today on a very cold night here in Spain". Adding the "here" clarifies that Spain is where you are writing to us from and should limit misunderstandings.

    Please note that the other correction where the corrector changes your sentence "Perhaps we'll be lucky.." to "Perhaps we'll be happy.." is incorrect. Your original use of "Perhaps we'll be lucky.." is exactly correct.

    Hi there, 1. "It depends on..." Ex. Q: "Can you go to a movie with me on Friday?" A: "I don't know, it depends on when the movie is. I have to work on Friday also." When someone uses "it depends on..." they are usually saying that in order for a request to be possible or answered, they first need to gather more information. 2. "It's depending on" This is incorrect. I have never heard anyone say this before. However, someone might say, "It is dependent on...." which again means that the task to be completed or confirmed is reliant on something else happening or becoming known. 3. Depend on To depend on someone means that you are relying on them for some reason. For example, babies depend on their parents because babies cannot take care of themselves. To depend on something means that in order to continue you must determine an outcome/ gain information about something. More context would be helpful here in determining what these phrases mean. Also, please note that the above fragments are NOT sentences! These are phrases which can be used in sentances, but they lack completion. A complete sentence requires a verb and expresses a complete idea. Complete sentences will always make sense standing alone, whereas the fragments you have numbered above to do not make sense alone. Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

    English

    It is difficult,at  in some cases, to understand what it is right and wrong. Everyone has always has an argument to defend their selves  themselves . Som Some people say that you should experience a life to understand it. I am confused about it  this. -What? if there is no wrong and right-. I also understand that in some situations and other things  make it differently what is right or wrong might be different.  But I mean if you just think about what it  is wrong and right, you could  probably get confused as me also get confused.


    - I marked the beginning and end of your sentence with red, as I was unable to understand what you wanted to say. Did you mean, : "What? Is there no wrong and right?" Also, when speaking of the ways someone must act, we usually arrange the phrase as "right and wrong". Saying "wrong and right" does not change the meaning or ability to be understood, but saying "right and wrong" in that order can make a little more sense. 

    All in all, a good start. I have replaced and highlighted the words that were incorrect, in the wrong order, or did not make sense in the original text.

    You have shown a lot of insight with this post. It can be very difficult to understand what actions might be right or wrong, and it is great that you have considered these ideas. Often our societies and cultures encourage a specific set of values or ideals which determine our perspective of what is right or wrong. Untimately, there really isn't a way to determine whether something is right or wrong, as there is no one way of living or seeing the world which is better than another, when thinking objectively. It is up to us as individuals to determine what we believe is right and wrong and set a standard for ethical behavior.

    However, in some cases, we do know what is right or wrong- such as in matters of scientific fact. Although there is freedom to challenge beliefs held to be fact by science, for example, ultimately if we have sufficient evidence to prove such a phenomenon  and no counterargument is found to be factual or plausible than it will be rejected. 

    Such a complex topic to consider- even for native English speakers!! Good start, and I wish you luck in your learning :)
