Hello! Welcome to my italki page! My love for language started in high school when I began learning French. I went on to study Spanish at the university level. I also lived in a Dominican neighborhood of NYC where I was able to develop my Spanish speaking skills. I taught middle school Spanish in Mesa, AZ, and then continued teaching Spanish at a high school in Seattle, WA. At that school, I was asked to teach English to Language Learners (ELL) and that is where I found my passion for teaching English. I have since left the world of public school and I now work for an Intensive English Language Program in Salt Lake City, UT. I work as both an English teacher and a teacher coordinator. I primarily work with Brazilian and Colombian students, but I do have students from all over the world. Language is my passion. I not only love the language learning process, but I find value in experiencing cultures beyond my own. I'm excited to help you on your English learning path!

    Translation help

    Mañana voy a traducir una reunión entre el consejero de la escuela y unos padres. ¿Cómo dirias: "She is skipping class"?


    Yo diría: "Ella está saltando clases" o "ella está fallando clases" (¿Tienen sentido o no?)

    What's your favorite place to visit on weekend?

    I started to practice my writing skill so I chose a random question to develop and here is my first writing text. I hope you can help me correcting it, thanks in advance
    -----------------------
    My favorite place to go on the weekends is generally to the cinema and then go to a restaurant for dinner with my girlfriend.

    I choose to go to the cinema because I am a movie fan and I enjoy the development of the arguments who has in almost every film. Also I think it is a good way to spend time with good company. Even if in fact you aren't actually talking with the other. That's why a good way to end the date is go to a restaurant for dinner. because First, the movie will give you a few topics to share and second, you will need that extra time to talk with your date.

    In other words, this plan has all the things I need to have in a good weekend: movies, food, and my girlfriend. What about you? What's your favorite place to visit on weekend?

    Great text! Mostly I just added periods to break up the sentences. When you just use too many commas the sentences run on too long and it becomes hard to follow. Your grammar is excellent!

    Mi Prima. Como niña, mi familia y yo nos mudamos desde San Fransisco, California hasta Seattle, Washington. Yo tenía 8 años. Pensé que mi vida terminó. Dejé mis amigos en California y no querría conocer amigos nuevos. En Seattle, vivíamos con mis tios por un rato. Ellos tenían 2 hijos: mis primos. Mis primos eran mis primeros amigos en Seattle. Especialmente mi prima, Cati. Cati tiene 4 años más que yo. Yo quise hacer todo lo que ella hizo. La siguió por todas partes. Ella se maquilló. Por eso, me encantaba el maquillaje. Como niña de 8 años, mi mamá no quierría que yo llevo maquillaje. Pero cuando ella salió de la casa, Cati me puse el maquillaje, y yo era muy contenta. Después de crecer un poco, Cati y yo fuimos a un concierto de los Backstreet Boys. Sentí crecido, como ella - una mujer joven. Nos gustó la musica y en particular nos gustaron a los Backstreet Boy, NSYNC, y otros bandas de muchachos guapos. Todavía estoy en contaco con mi prima. No vivimos cerca, sin embargo - hablamos a menudo, por teléfono y more mensajes de texto. En mi opinion los primos son los mejores amigos.

    37 - Optimism and Pessimism

    If you have a glass of water, what do you will consider having How do you see it? Will you have Do you see an the (here you use "the" instead of "a" or "an" because you are talking about a specific cup. "The" is definite. "A" or "an" in indefinite) half-enough or an half-full glass of water?  glass half-full or half-empty?

    Having a half-enough empty glass of water is a pessimist way to consider it. It is a characteristic of thinking bad things instead of good ones. Pessimism relies on complaints and intolerance. Seeking happiness is endless and enough is never enough.  (great sentence!)

    On the other hand, being optimistic we could take everything for granted. Regardless of the hurdles we faceing, with optimism, we can always to keep good things in our mind to reach our target.

    There is no doubt that being optimistic is better than being pessimistic. One disadvantage of optimism is to keep satisfied with a situation which you do not wonder about looking for improvement. (Here I would just take out some words to make your point more clear. You could say: "is that you might be so positive that you forget to look for ways you can improve.") One advantage of pessimism is not to be worried about the future and it can be useful to avoid unhappiness. ( Same thing, I would use less words, to make your point clearer: "that you don't worry about the future, so you don't experience false expectations")


    Great article!! Thank for sharing your thoughts. These changes are just my opinion, some one else might say something different. But kudos! You write very well. :)
