I'm currently in college learning French, and I thought it would be a good idea to practice with native speakers, so I'm on here looking for language partners. Unfortunately, I have only been learning French for about a year, so my French skills are not great. However, if you're patient with me, then I think I could make up for it by helping you with your English skills. :)

    You are a Godsend, Caroline. I feel like these are really significant aspects of language learning that are passed over in lots of beginner language classes. I have been taking language courses throughout my life as a student, and considering that I'm a sophomore in college right now, that's a long time, but I have yet to hear things explained the way that you have outlined in your articles. Thank you so much!

    Hahahaha, sorry I don't mean to be flippant about what you experienced. I'm just shocked that people would use this site as a dating site. Surely, there are better sites suited for that specific need. Anyways, don't be dissuaded by that kind of stupidity, since you have clearly made gains in the English language. Good luck!

    Google various thesis papers and read them. I'm pretty sure there are a lot that are free on the internet. They're not necessarily the most interesting pieces of writing you will ever read (LOL), but you will learn academic writing. Don't read thesis papers in highly specialized fields, however, like chemical engineering (unless you understand chemical engineering, that is). Stick to history, psychology, sociology, etc. Here are academic papers by one of my favorite psychologists: http://oxford.academia.edu/BrianDEarp.

    Any help with grammar? Thanks!

    The automotive industry has made a huge step forward to reduce the negative impact on the environment. These changes occured (past tense since they have already happened) even before the tightening of environmental standards by authorities. Since the 1990s, only thanks to EURO norms, the volume of СО2 emission has decreased from 3.16 g / km to 1 g / km. In the field of public passenger transportation and personal transport, there has been a huge movement for the usage of electric energy. Today, the effectiveness of this approach for the protection of the environment is questionable, because the electricity, in any case, is generating ( I think that "being generated" works better here, but I need a second opinion) mainly by hydrocarbons (40.8% - coal, natural gas - 21.6% ). The efficiency of the electric motor is equal to the efficiency of the internal combustion engine. The only differences between the electric and classical car are that the "exhaust" is somewhere far away, and the air in large cities is clear. Thus, the global environmental friendliness depends on the type of power station, which generates electricity, and in the case of the classical coal power station, that all comes to naught.

    Wow, your grasp of English grammar is impressive. Hopefully, an English teacher will edit your passage for you, so you can get an expert's advice.

    Hi, I just want to read different opinions on this topic, you know? I have am at an intermediate level in English right now. I can't pay for private classes, so I'm trying to get better on my own. I think the most important thing is to speak right now, but one day I want to take the TOEFL or IELTS test.



    What kind of things do you usually do to get better in any language? It would be useful to know and thank you.

    Hi Daniel, you seem to be doing a great job at learning English so far, considering how well you wrote this passage. Although, your grammar needs to be improved. For that, I always suggest books, books, and more books! Everything I've learned about English grammar, I've learned from books. When I first got to university, I was shocked at how much my peers struggled with grammar. While I'm still no expert on grammar, I was doing much better than my peers, because of my experience as an avid reader. You can read all the grammar books that you want, and that is important, too, but without being able to see grammar rules properly applied, you will have a harder time mastering the language. Good luck!

    depression

    Today I'm feeling depressed, but I don't know why I'm depressed. I can't concentrate on anything, even reading the newspaper. Nowadays, I forget what I read. I can't memorize anything for my studies. It was only one month prior that I could memorize any English word at a glance, but now I have forgotten what I read just a moment ago. Now, I can't even translate a long sentence in the New York Times. I forget, when there are long sentences, what I read before the comma. (You could also write, "When there are long sentences, I forget what I read before the comma.") Please suggest an idea on how to improve my memory. How can I overcome this situation? I'm very depressed. Sometimes, I feel like crying. I have a desire to speak English fluently and improve my writing so much that my essays will be published in the daily newspaper. I can't remember difficult English words.please please help me.[emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji][emoji]

    Hi Hosen, I'm sorry that you're going through this difficult time, but you seem to have a good grasp of English. I could understand everything you were trying to say with little to no effort. The only thing that needs to be improved is your grammar. For that, I suggest a book that specifically deals with English grammar, and I also recommend that you read English books that you like. Once, you get immersed in a story, you will be actively reading and will be able to remember what happened throughout the story. Good job on your success so far, and DO NOT GIVE UP! Learning a new language is a time consuming endeavor! Good luck on your journey, and I'm sending you lots of love!

    Hello Everybody! It has been a long time since I've written a composition or some phases in English. Could someone help me? 1) If I had gone to the meeting, I would have met the new director of the company. (Good!) 2) Loving can make everybody change, so why not try it? 3) Brazil has been immersed in corruption and I really want the country to become better in the future. 4) The bus was packed so he decides to get off the bus and take a taxi. (If you're writing about the present, this is correct. If you mean a past action, change it to "decided") 5) Even though a new language is difficult to learn, it will be worth it for the rest of your life. So I’d like to thank for your attention and your correction. It’s not so easy to learn a new language and I’ve been struggling a lot. I try to do my best but sometimes it becomes hard and hard. Thanks for the correction. I wish you guys all the best. Great job, Matheus! I know how difficult it can be to learn a new language, since I'm learning French right now. Sometimes, I get stressed that I'll devote a considerable amount of time learning French without reaping the benefit of fluency, but seeing everyone on here & their success with English has been inspiring. You have done well with these sentences, not counting a few mistakes here & there, and you have a lot to be proud of!

    Did you ever have such an experience?(you're asking whether someone already had this experience, so it would be past tense, hence "did"' not "do") And what are your feelings about it? (How are your feelings doesn't work here, and you have to add "it" at the end to make the sentence a complete thought)


    I wanted to correct it, since you're learning English. :)

    As for your question, I personally haven't, but I know people who have, and I think your experience will be dependent on the safety measures that you take to protect yourself. If you plan everything out, then I think it would be fine.

    Noun phrases containing relative clauses

    Something I'm nervous about is public perfomance. One thing I'm( you would naturally be saying I am so it would be contracted as I'm not I'd) definitely fascinated by is the landscape of the Altaian mountains. Spring in my country is something I'd really miss. Two things I'd be homesick for are the forest and the blue sky with snow-white clouds in it. The health of my parent (If you have two parents this should be "parents" but if you only have one, then it is correct.) and whether my boyfriend will be in the army or not are two things I'd be anxious about. Something that would depress me is that my folks are not alongside me.

    If you haven't listened to Serial, you are seriously missing out. It's one of the best podcasts that I have ever listened to in my life. I know that it was a big deal in America when it first came out, but I'm not sure if foreigners were exposed to it. It's basically a mystery covering a young woman's murder and her ex-boyfriends jail sentence for her murder. For the sake of not spoiling anything, I won't say more. 

    P.S. Don't watch the shitty second season; first season all the way!
