Hello everyone! Today is Saturday and I've worked this morning. When I went back home, my wife was lying on the couch resting. She had tucked my daughter into bed and was preparing to revise for her exams.
As I told you yesterday, she is aspiring to become a medical-psychological assistant. I don't really know if this term exists and is related to 'Aide Medico Psychologique' but apparently it's the closest that I've found on the internet.
While she was revising, I took my laptop and watched some videos on YouTube. I wanted to watch English content to improve my hearing listening skills as usual.
Then I came across 'Kitchen Nightmares' and I fell asleep right away...
I was taken by the sleepness very tired. My daughter woke up and it that forced me to wake up as well as to get her out of her crib.
Last week I registered her in school for the coming year. She is over two and a half years and will turn three in October. She needs to use the potty but she's a bit reluctant and prefers wearing her diapers.
It doesn't matter, with my wife we had a discussion I had a discussion with my wife and we agreed that during the summer it would be easier for her to be able to use the potty.
I went to England last week with my brothers and I stayed at a BnB's family. There was a little girl, a bit older than mine, and she was speaking English pretty well (normal as you should would think because it's her first language). I was always thinking about my daughter and had to compare the girl with her my daughter's own speaking level. When I got back home four days later, my daughter spoke to me and it's like I was blown away. I realized that her level is absolutely incredible for a non-native speaker.
I don't want to show off but the combination of my teaching and cartoons helps her to enhance her vocabulary and her fluency.
As I always say, I'm sure that I make mistakes while speaking this second language but the more I use it, the more I improve my skills.
When I write a post on Italki, I don't think of what I'm going to write. I just let the words coming out of my mind and it reflects the way I speak in my daily life. Sometimes I add some new words, new phrases, expressions and I notice I improve myself that i am improving.
Some other days, I feel like I'm really bad, but this is the way you learn a language naturally.0 votedJune 5, 20160A celebration of colours
Every two years, an event takes place in a town not far from where I live; it's called " a celebration of colours" and it gathers together people from foreign countries, who are now living in the same city in France. people from abroad who are currently living in the same city gather together.
It gives them the opportunity to put on their traditional costume clothing, display flags, photos, maps and other diverse objects from their native region.
But one of the main and most eagerly awaited moment of the evening is the tasting of their meals and specialities.
After paying a modest entrance fee, each visitor receives a little plate and a fork, then heads to the stand of his choice, and after queueing, can be served a portion of more or less rather surprising, amazing or spicy exotic food.
This year 22 countries were represented : Cameroon, Spain, Tunisia, Nepal , Russia, Albania, Portugal, Benin, Ivory Coast...
Most of these people seem very happy in their town and country of adoption and are proud to let the visitors know everything about their origins and traditions.
After the wonderful tasting sessions, there was a parade of they paraded in their traditional clothes, then there was a dance party with music from different parts of the world.
During the pre-dinner drinks, some people made a speech: Firstly the mayor, who spoke about his pride to host so many different cultures in the town, then a man native from to sub-Saharan Africa, who made a convincing and moving speech about his former country and now his new current life in France, and his commitment to respect our laws and customs; he was applauded loudly, probably because many spectators , including me, made a link between what he said and the dreadful events that happened in Paris a few months ago.0 votedJune 5, 20162Can someone please find my mistakes in this text? (And how would you write it correctly? )
Political transformations that have been taking place in Brazil this year, lead have led to an unlike unusual foreign policy and has reshaped its leading role in groupings the groups to which it belongs. Political and economic crises faced by Brazil not only interferes in its internal sphere, but also its foreign relations, particularly those with neighboring countries. Commercial trade between Brazil and Argentina, for instance, already reveal the challenging emerging situation.
These circumstances can be explained by the severe economic downturn in Brazil and the political changes in both countries. Brazilian The current situation in Brazil is not an exception among the countries of Latin America. Instead of raising the growth potential of MERCOSUL and removing tax obstacles, those countries just only have time to discuss about their political situation at the present time. Today there is still a bigger tendency not to see the country's situation as depending based on its foreign policy. Governments' first concern is about their own internal situation, when it should be about the country's insertion as a whole. Governments should aim joined to join together for to achieve new goals and forms methods of cooperation, ensuring the relevant role of trade exchange, particularly for emerging nations.0 votedJune 5, 20160Talking about this and that
I just came back from my brother's house. I went there with my daughter. My little one likes to go there because he's got a puppy named Maya.
Also he has a swing set in his backyard and a trampoline. My nephew likes to play with her. He's 11 years old and defined called himself as her godfather.
Today, like yesterday, I came back from work and I laid down on the couch and started to watch the movie Django. I was aware that this the movie is was 2 or 3 hours long but I wanted to fall asleep with the help of the TV.
The movie started well, and actually I stopped it so as not to spoil myself the story. I closed my eyes and napped fell asleep right away.
Tonight at 10 p.m I've got an appointment on Skype. I'm going to chat with a friend from Italki. It's been a while since I've spoken with him. At a period one time, we used to speak at least 3 times a week but nowadays I'm more focusing on hearing listening to U.S English rather than speaking it.
I reckoned that I listen to audio podcasts during for at least 2 hours a day. I think this is an essential key to my language enhancement.0 votedJune 5, 20160
