Hola a tod@s! Vivo en un pueblo muy pequeño en España con mi marido irlandés. Mi nivel español es intermedio (B1) y estoy interesada principalmente en la conversación. Un intercambio de español/inglés sería perfecto! Me gustaría ayudarte con tu inglés. Me encanta la comida/música españolas, además de sus muchas fiestas. También disfruto de literatura, ciencia ficción, tecnología y hacer comida vegana. Buen día y charlemos pronto! :)

    Best friends

    Martha plans to visit her best friend, Anne, who lives in Paris. They are have been friends since they were in elementary school, in fact, Anne was the first girl Martha met when she moved to Lyon.
    Martha was born in Madrid, but her parents decided to move to Lyon when she was five years old.
    She remembers almost nothing of her life in Madrid because she was small [quite young], but her mother told her about her first day at school in Lyon. She did not speak French, and she was very scared, but when Anne saw her she came over and smiled at her. at In that moment Martha realized that everything would be fine and she felt much better.
    Now Anne is about to have her first child and asked Martha to come to Paris and be with her. Anna decided some time ago to be a single mother and Martha has always supported her in her [this] decision.

    Very well written, Francesca!  Only some minor changes and a couple of alternate suggestions in [], but otherwise it's perfect.

    Most/Mostly

    Hi, there

    Do you say "Which(or what????) countries do earthquakes occur in the most?" Or "Which countries do most earthquakes occur in? " or
    Which countries do earthquakes mostly occur in?"

    Thank you

    Hi Jordana,

    This is what I think is best:

    In which countries do earthquakes occur the most?

    Or

    Which countries have the most earthquakes?

    An example of what you want to say would be helpful. Then we can see what your confusion is with these two verbs.

    I think I would say... I have the right creative and technical skills to help you solve your issues. If you're going to say "technology", you really need to be listing the technology that you are referring to. Technical skills is a bit more broad and seems to convey what you are trying to say.

    please correct me Pets in city flats? Argue for or against.

    Nowadays it is very common to meet people  walking with their pets, which are normally [1] dogs. Many years ago animals were at homes to served humans because we could eat them or use them to help us with our work working. Now it seems crazy because it has turned around and it is humans are who serve animals. 
    To have a pet has is a lot of responsibility,  but it is sometimes can be good or bad it depends depending on the case situation. One advantage is that people who are alone can have a loyal friend, or an unsociable child  can be helped with pet therapy. On the another hand, to have a pet could  endanger your health if you are  allergic to them. In second place Secondly [2] it is now a problem that people sometimes  prefer pets to children child and it is not good for the country because we are growing up our population is getting older and we need young people in the society and families are very important. To conclude, pets are lovely but sometimes when people can not take care of them, or  when the pet has matured, they are abandoned in the streets. For this reason, we have to think about it this before bringing an animal into our flat.

    [1] usually sounds better to the English ear, but normally is perfectly correct.

    [2] In Spanish, you normally say "en primer lugar, en segundo lugar", but in English, we change this to firstly, secondly, etc. You use "in first place, in second place" to indicate who has won a sporting competition, for example.

    Bravo, Christine!  You have done a very good job describing the pros and cons of pet ownership in city flats.

    I'm learning Spanish too and the BEST resource I have found is at languagetransfer.org.  It is a complete and free audio course designed to get you speaking the language very, very quickly.  The teacher and student are quite engaging and I have found it to be very enjoyable.  I learn a lot in each 10 minute segment. I simply cannot recommend it enough!

    Language Transfer concentrates on thinking in Spanish and manages to fold the grammar lessons into it quite elegantly.  I would definitely start there as a beginner.

    Other useful resources are Mi Vida Loca which you will find on the bbc.co.uk website.  It's interactive and you'll get to hear Spanish as it's spoken in Madrid. It's a very high quality production and the lessons are well thought out.  Plus, you get to virtually tour Madrid!

    If you're a grammar nerd, then the Practice Makes Perfect: Complete Spanish Grammar is a good book, as well as its companion Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Vocabulary.  These might be available at your local library if you don't wish to purchase them.

    Well, that's a start at any rate.   Buena suerte! :D

    PS: Forgot to add one more resource, which is newsinslowspanish.com. It's not free, but the subscription is quite reasonable.  I would hold off subscribing until you at least have the basics under your belt.

    Mosquitos

    I think mosquitos are a type of creature, which not only are disgusting, but also are very dangerous. Today, I just want to say how disgusting and sick they are . Take my experience for example, I do not know which type of blood type I am , but once the temperature becomes warm , I am always bitten by mosquitos (luckily for the people around me , who will not suffer from that terrible problem). I especially can not fall asleep at night because the mosquitos buzz (or drone) around me , which is such an annoying thing. So, I am really hate mosquitos which make my skin itchy with many bites . I hope one day something can be invented to kill the most harmful types of mosquito.


    I really hate mosquitos too!  Your English is quite good, Le.  You did a very good describing why you dislike mosquitos.

    My favorite invention

    My favorite invention is the computer because it's very practical and we can do several things like investigations research, homeworks [homework is always singular in English], team projects, to watch videos, to listen to music and many other things more.
    The first computer was made on in 1822 by Charles Babbage.

    I like computers a lot too!  You wrote a very good, short description about why you like computers.  Bravo!

    Hi Daniela.  What you've written is almost perfect.  There are only some minor changes needed which are highlighted in yellow below.


    Please help me with my mistakes

    I am writing to apply for the position of TTTTTT as advertised in Staff Recruitment. I am enclosing my CV, as requested.

    I am currently living in England and working as a volunteer in PDSA, Retail Shop
    [You need to write the name of this charity in full as you can't assume everyone knows what it means.  So the rewrite would look something like this: I am currently living in England and working as a volunteer in the retail shop of Pxxxxxx Dxxxxxxx Sxxxxxx Axxxxxx.]

    I completed my studies of in Management at the University of XXXX in France. During my internships in Paris and Strasbourg I developed organisational skills, the ability to cooperate within international teams, and to work independently.

    During my studies , I supported the International Student Welcome at XXXX Club. In addition to this, I had the opportunity to successfully lead a team and organised events within music festivals for international public in France and Poland.

    [I am not sure what you mean by music festivals for international public.  Do you mean the music festival showcased international musicians?  You should clarify this statement and then we can sort out the grammar afterward.]

    I am dynamic and rigorous. I like learning languages, and I am fluent in French and Spanish. I enjoy experiencing different cultures and building relationships. I wish to use my skills in at YYYY University.

    In addition to my academic qualifications and prior experience in the industry, I also believe that my resume exhibits strong potential for development. For these reasons I feel that I would be an asset to YYYY University.
