Television
I like watching TV, I watch it every day.
However, watching too much television isn't good for us. So from now on, I will watch less of it.My favorite TV shows are comedy programs. I sometimes watch English programs too. They help me with my English.

I have always heard that your favorite color and your personality are strongly connected, but I wonder if this is true. If it is, I can use this information on those I am meeting for the first time.________________-
You can capitalize most words in a title, except things like of.
Here you can use the past perfect in your first sentence
Just a question, do you believe this to be true?
If you have doubts and want to express disbelief then the correction would have been like this.

Thank you for your attention.

Don't forget to capitalize proper nouns such as Valencia, Spain and your own name.
You can also capitalize most words in a title, example My Introduction
I switched the order of your descriptions because they flow better this way.
Please let me know if you agree with the corrections

0 votedOctober 13, 20161Hello again.
I have returned to italki to continue my English learning.
This year has been hard, because of all that I had to learn. I have been looking for a job and I hope I can find one soon.
I am happy because I have finally decided to practice my writing and my speaking skills. It took me months to practice and to confront my shame and distrust.
Now, I am practicing and increasing my vocabulary so that I can have better conversations in English and to become more fluent in using the language.
Today I will be writing for practice and not only for vocabulary as mentioned above since I also want to practice the verb tenses.
I would be grateful for your corrections and suggestions.Greetings from México to the entire community of italki.

I changed will to would as a matter of politeness, will implies people will do it and correct you. Would is softer which is what I think you wanted to transmit.
Don't forget to capitalize the E in English because it is a proper noun
This is how I would correct it, I hope I got the meaning across correctly. Please let me know what you think? Well done keep on practicing.

Damien goes on to stay on The Druid's Island in a parallel world.I curiously listened to Lisa. Sure I had tried asking questions but there were still many things that I couldn't understand.
"I understood (how) all of this began. But what about the nightmares? How did I get to them?
"Someone made it so that I couldn't find you. You vanished from your world at the same time as I came here. Do you think it's just a coincidence? I don't think so."
"What was this place we came to? There have been so many strange things and events. Did the testers check for bugs?" I tried to joke.
"I don't know. Let's stop thinking about it. We have other problems to solve." Lisa answered

This is very hard to correct because I have doubts about the meaning of some of these sentences and I am not up to date with the story but I tried to help you out. Comment if you need further assistance.
0 votedOctober 13, 20163Different way to use polite expressions
Polite expressions are used to show respect but did you know there are different ways of using them?
Example 1
Imagine a married couple that usually uses casual expressions with one another. One day, the wife suddenly starts using polite expressions to her husband. This is not because she wants to show respect, but to show that she is angry at him or that there is an emotional gap between them.
Example 2
Mr. A and Mr. B are classmates or co-workers, they are of the same age or are in similar positions. They know it's more natural to use casual expressions but for some reason, Mr.A uses polite expressions to Mr.B. This shows Mr. A doesn't want to be friends with Mr. B.
As we can see with these examples, polite expressions can sometimes be used when you don't want to show intimacy or closeness with a person.______________
Corrected some things hope it helps. Thanks by the way. I had no idea polite expressions could be used in this way.

0 votedOctober 13, 20160Good Afternoon people!
I'd like to point out that I feel my English is really improving every day.
Going to the point, I would like to share the fact that my English is improving each day.
I'm practicing a lot of listening, a little bit of speaking but I almost never get to read or write in English.
Despite mainly training my listening skills I feel my English is really improving every day.
My strategies are: watching several types of videos on youtube, using free online courses, and any other materials I can find.
Thus, my English is improving slowly but consistently.
My vocabulary is getting better even though sometimes I forget many of the words I just learned.
My grammar is good even though I make a few mistakes on occasion.
Sorry for the short text and thanks in advance for the corrections.__________________
Cut off a few parts of the text that were repetitive, and made it sound more natural what do you think? Well done though. :)
Keep practicing writing, reading, listening and speaking. All 4 skills are essential and relying only on one is never enough. Keep writing and feel free to contact me if you need help with writing or speaking
Regards,
Manuel

Dear host family,First of all, I would like to thank you for your good will in letting me become part of your family. It has been always my dream to visit Japan, and now thanks to you it became a reality.
I am really looking forward to meeting you.
I would like to begin by introducing myself. My name is Julia and I am 15 years old. I will be turning 16 in March 2017. The idea of studying in Japan came to my mind about 2 years ago when I was 13. Since then I have been interested in Japan. My family supports my interest in Japanese culture.
I enjoy studying. I can't say that I prefer arts or sciences because I find both interesting although in different ways. Science explains things beyond the human race while arts teaches us about humanity. Math, physics and IT have rules, they are complex and logical. Arts on the other hand, although not as straightforward as science, talk about our everyday lives and help me to understand society and culture.
After graduating I would like to keep on studying at a university. However, I'm not really sure what I want to study or where I want to do it. I really like the idea of studying abroad or taking a year off to travel to developing countries or doing some volunteer work.
=======================
By informatics I am guessing you meant computer stuff right? IT (information technology) is more accurately used in this case if I am not mistaken :)
I changed some grammar, fixed a few lexical mistakes, fixed up the punctuation. Don't forget to add a complimentary close to the final version of your letter (regards, maybe you could even put the really looking forward to meet you part at the end as your closure?)
Please tell me your thoughts on the corrected version

0 votedOctober 12, 20161Days of the week in Portuguese.
Unlike many Indo-european languages, Portuguese has a rather curious way to express the days of the week. Conversely to Italian, French and Spanish where each day of the week is named after a god or a star, Portuguese uses ordinal numbers followed by the term ''feira'', which is latin for ''rest day''.The utilization of these terms has been used since the 6th Century when the Catholic Church decided against paying honor to pagan gods. Interestingly enough, the names for the weekend, Saturday(Sábado) and Sunday(Domingo) kept on being used normally.
-Segunda-feira (which literally means second rest day); Lundi; Lunes; Lunedi (Monday)
-Terça-feira; Mardi; Martes; Martedi (Tuesday)
-Quarta-feira; Mercredi; Miércoles; Mercoledi (Wednesday)
-Quinta-feira; Jeudi; Jueves; Giovedi; (Thursday)
-Sexta-feira; Vendredi; Viernes; Venerdi (Friday)
- Sábado; Samedi; Sábado; Sabato (Saturday)
- Domingo; Dimanche; Domingo; Domenica (Sunday)Eriched the vocabulary a bit, made a few corrections, added some more idioms, tried to convey the meaning of your post more accurately. Please let me know your thoughts on the corrected version.
Manuel.
