How to get a woman as a language partner

Since I’ve joined iTalki, I’ve been reading some posts ,  in which women complain about some men who apparently just look for a girlfriend rather than a language partner. I believe that’s true  , in . In my case, among all the messages that I’ve received ,  just 5 or 6 belonged to women who wanted me as a language partner. In other words, more than 90% of messages in my inbox are from men. It’s not bad if you want a woman as a language partner. You should continue reading this text if you haven't had success succeed in this issue.

To start with, if you’re learning English, for example, but just a few people are interesting interested in learning your native language you can look for a partner who, like you, has English as her target language. You can send a polite message , in a few sentences, explaining, in a few sentences, why are you you are learning English and why do you want from her to be your as a language partner. Sending a message with that topics will give you more   a bigger chances to get a partner than the typical “Do you skype?” or “ You’re such a beauty”. However, if you notice that your native language is popular, you can look for native language speakers. In this case, my advice is the same. You should send her a message saying why you’re learning her native language and showing that you’re willing to help her with her target language.

If you do that ( If you do so ), you show yourself as a serious learner. As a result, you probably find a good partner. Don’t exaggerate with your messages though. I’ve seen many English native speakers who only have women as friends on iTalki. I suppose they take advantages of the fact that everyone wants to learn his native language. In my opinion, women have to realize whether someone is a serious learner or just want to flirt.

P.D:    P.S. You also have to understand when someone is only looking for language native speakers

I was hooked by the title of your article. Well written !! You're English is very very good.

First of all, I will start by talking about my background. I have studied in EET1 a technical school ( I used to study in a technical school called EET1.) The main subject of this school is informatics (~ information science). Then I studied electronic engineering in UNLAM (Universidad Nacional de la Matanza). Today I am working in the industry of electronic design of in / for an important brand.

The second point Second, I would like to talk about why I am learning English. In my career, the English is very important, because the electronic engineering use a lot of technical documents and e-mail ( don't quite get it, sorry ). What is more, in the next mouth  next month I am going to want to apply in a new job which demands more level its applicants a much higher ability in English.

The last topic  Finally I  will talk is about want to talk something about myself. I like share spending time with my family, I will be a father in December, and I am very anxious about that. In my free time I like playing football or  share spending time with friends.



Thanks for reading my resume  sharing, if you found something to improve, please let me know.

Best regards,
Marcos

唔會咁容易放棄

大家好！好耐冇寫過italki嘅日記喎（啦）！其實唔係代表 （or ：其實咁唔代表）我停咗學廣東話，淨（or ：只）係代表我最近比較集中喺其他方面。比如( 花多左時間 )睇報紙同埋睇新聞嚟改善我嘅聽力。而且，我半年前開始咗學普通話，所以我而家分開（分散左）我啲時間：用一段時間(有啲用左)嚟學廣東話，用一段時間(有啲用左)嚟學普通話。可惜我最近發現我啲廣東話好似差咗，尤其是我嘅口語受普通話發音嘅影響，令佢更加唔標準。仲有，有時講廣東話嘅時侯會諗唔到好簡單嘅單詞，令我好激動（annoyed and cross by trivial daily things = 抆憎;   On the other hand, 激動 is usually used in more serious situations, e.g. won a championship, wronged by your boss, knowing that your country is being invaded...）。你哋同時學兩種語言嘅過程中有冇遇到呢個問題？我今日決心決定我要盡力繼續學廣東話，死頂，唔會咁容易放棄。希望可以搵到多啲language partner同我一齊學。如果你學英文，德文或者法文嘅話我都可以幫你！歡迎你哋改正呢個日記！多謝晒！

onomatopoeia

In Japan we use a lot of onomatopoeias which are words that come from sounds that things make. We use a lot of onomatopoeias to describe texture of food.For example, cookies. Cookies have a crispy texture. It is called "saku saku(サクサク)" Some onomatopoeias are hard to explain in English because that same texture doesn't necessarily exist in food that we eat in the States or in English-speaking countries. I am sure Japanese is difficult to learn even I am a Japanese. I think the most difficult part is to count things. Next time I am going to teach you guys how to count anythings in Japanese. Hope you will like it!

The Weirdest Part of Japanese Culture

We can see the a number of people are many/ lots of people are wearing surgical masks in Japan. It is a very common sight in Japan. We are very carful   worry a lot about catching things. It Mask is used to just prevent ourselves from getting sick or   and also prevent us from spreading diseases to the others others from getting their sickness. Japanese people are very preventative  cautious . Sometimes we often use it for concealing our faces. For example, when we don't wear make-up on , or when we get a pimple or an acne, we wear masks to hide our faces. I use it to moisturize my skin when I go to bed, especially on  in winter. But sometimes foreign people out side Japan misunderstand this culture? thing. One of my roommates in the States got angry with/at me when I was wearing masks in our room. I assume she thought I was using it because the room is  was messy or smelly (actually  though she was indeed messy).
