I'm living in the US (near Boston) and am learning Mandarin mostly as a hobby: it's a way to exercise my mind and I think it's skill that can help me make new friends and become a more cultured person. I have a PhD in Computer Science and work for a Software Company where I interact daily with a lot of different people from around the world. A lot of these people are Chinese and I think it would be fun to be able to interact with them (though perhaps in-eloquently in their native language). I've visited China once for an academic conference, and I would like to visit China again some day.

    That's definitely inappropriate and neither normal for US nor Canadian culture.  It's up to you, but if you want to, or if you experience something like this in the future, you can report the user to the italki:

    Hope this is a rare experience for you.

    Today's Weather

    It is a rainy day. There is an old saying that describes this weather: "It is raining cats and dogs." When I first saw this saying, I did not understand why it would rain cats and dogs. Those animal live on land, how can they fly in the sky?! So i am curious about this saying. I looked this saying up in the dictionary, there were two explanations. One said that "The cat can affect weather and the dog can predict the weather in old 斯堪迪那维亚 countries." The other is that these animals drowned in a flood and their bodies seems looked like they were from the sky. What a heart broken story! Cats are so cute that I can not help liking them and dogs are loyal! I like them very much. In China, cats and dogs are the most popular pets. So these animal are safe.

    What I have learned over the past few days:

    Seven days ago I started using Italki. I have made some friends and talked to them. I have some things to say. First , italki is an excellent website to make friends with others. However, it is not as convenient as applications like QQ, Wchat, or skype, which I can use everywhere. Every time there's a message I'm notified by email instead of getting the message directly. I have to open the email then click a link to the website to read it. It is very tedious. Still, although it is not convenient, I think it is an excellent website.

    I am a newbie(网络新手)，so there are lots of things I do not know. I will learn it and know it in the future. By the way ,this article may have many grammatical mistakes or expression errors. Could you help me correct these? Thank you very much
