Hi! Salut ! Привет! Guten Tag! ¡Hola! Oi! Selam! I’m Ian, an American from Indiana, currently living in California. I consider myself a language enthusiast - I have extensively studied French, Russian, German, Spanish, Estonian, Latvian, Swedish, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Turkish, and Portuguese, and I know bits of other languages. I currently work in immigration services - I meet people from all over the world every day, and speaking a lot of languages certainly comes in handy in my line of work. I'm always looking to improve my skills, though, and make new friends, so if you speak any of the above languages (or any other languages, really, I’m very open) and would be interested in connecting over Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Google Hangouts, Whatsapp, or FaceTime to do a language exchange, please reach out.

    Hi, Katrin! I'm a native English speaker from the U.S., and I'd love to help with English and practice my German since it's been a while for me. Live in San Francisco (Pacific time zone). Let me know :)

    Hi! I've been trying to find the correct way to say "congratulations" in Amharic for a while now with no luck. Would anyone be able to help me out?

    Usually we wouldn't place a comma before "because", and it doesn't need to be capitalized. Otherwise, the examples are good!

    “For” can be used to mean “because”, such as in this sentence, but it’s almost always either archaic or extremely formal. In everyday speech, you would almost never use “for” in this sense, unless, as previously stated, you’re speaking or writing in an extremely formal setting. And even then, there are generally better ways to express the same meaning. But you will often see it in writing, especially if you’re reading the classics. In the sentence above, it also has a slightly more nuanced meaning than “because” - I would say it adds a certain definiteness that “because” does not carry. Hope that helps :)

    My last vacation

    Two weeks ago, I visited Madrid with my friends. It was amazing. It was my first trip with friends. We laughed until we cried))) Madrid might be a wonderful and unique city, but we missed that 🙈because we were laughing and chatting away with friends.
    When my friends left Madrid, I visited Toledo. Toledo is a historical centre of Spain. It’s a city of three cultures, religions, and cuisines. I felt myself in a fairy tale!) I hope to visit another city in Spain in the future. I plan to visit Barselona in summer.
