Hello, I'm looking for someone to help me improve my English. Though my main priority is the English language, other languages such as Japanese, Russian, German, Italian, Greek, Czech, or Portuguese from Portugal are also welcome. I'm not looking for Chinese language partners because I've already got a whole lot of good ones (thank you, people!). I can teach or help with Spanish in exchange, especially when it comes to orthography (many Spanish speakers don't mind that issue at all). I'm quite patient, thorough and willing to help. If anyone is interested, I can also speak Asturian. I'm interested in almost any topic, especially those related to my career - I'm an engineer. Also, I like travelling, hiking, nature, etc. You can talk to me in any of my native languages or in English. NO MESSAGE, NO ADD. I'm sorry but I won't add as a friend anyone who proves not having read my profile/sent me a message/talked to me. If you decide to add me as a friend, I'd like not to be another one in your list whom you never talk to. So don't be lazy and introduce yourself sending me a message when you add me - just saying "hello" is not a message, so I'll know you're really serious and you've actually read my profile. Otherwise, I will decline your invitation. Likewise, just ask for my Skype or Live MSN ID if you're really willing to do a language interchange. NOTE FOR SPAMMERS: I will report as spam every message that includes any marriage or love proposal.

    Cuál literally means which "one" (among several items of the same kind), whereas qué means what "thing". Before putting qué, ask yourself whether it'd make sense to add "cosa" or "objeto" after qué, like this: Qué cosa es tu color favorito? (doesn't make any sense). Qué cosa/objeto es eso/a/e? (here does make sense).

    fiddlesworth It's from Shrek III. Shrek has a terrible itch in his bum, and he cannot scratch himself, so he asks a guy with a stick in his hand to scratch him. Shrek asked the guy his name and he answered Fiddlesworth, to which Shrek answered: "Perfect!". Well, I can't understand where the joke is here.

    Yo creo que los refranes no se deberían valorar por su utilidad, sino por lo ingeniosos que son. A veces está bien decir algún refrán, pero tampoco conviene abusar de ellos. La dificultad está en elegir la circunstancia adecuada para cada refrán.

    It's said "lo siento" or "perdón" depending on the context. If you stumble upon anyone or step on his/her foot, you can either say "lo siento" or "perdón". But if when you're sharing out a birth cake it runs out and have to tell everybody, you say "lo siento, se acabó el pastel". If your friend's dad has just died and you want to show him/her your condolences, you must say "lo siento". Don't say "perdón" unless you want to let your friend know you've killed him. If someone grabs your handbag, you can say "perdona, pero esto es mío". Use "perdón" or "lo siento" to show your apologies when it is your fault. Use "perdón" or "perdona" to ask for a further explanation. Use "lo siento" to show your apologies or condolence when it's not your fault.

    Having been to / having been in? I haven't explained myself in the last question. Is it correct to say 'have you ever been to NY?'? Is anything wrong with saying 'have you ever been in NY?'? Thank you.

    Otra cosita más: aquí en España es más común esperar que alguien nos regale algo sin pedírselo primero que pedirle a alguien que nos regale algo. Ánimo, estás haciéndolo bastante bien.

    Hola Aurora. Primero, déjame que te corrija algunos errores: Cumpleaños es siempre plural, acabado en s. Queda mejor decir "dividimos el pastel y lo repartimos" en lugar de "distribuimos". Suena mejor decir "a mi jefe, que es español", aunque decir "quien es español" también me parece correcto. Cuida las conjugaciones verbales: no es "olvidía", sino olvidaba. Y en este caso no se dice olvidaba, sino olvidó: "olvidó cómo se dice CAKE en español", o también "no se acordaba de cómo se dice CAKE en español", o "no recordaba cómo se dice CAKE en español". La expresión "luego echo de ver" no tiene sentido en español. Deberías haber dicho: "luego me di cuenta de que eso es pedir un regalo". Cuando le ofreciste el trozo de pastel a tu jefe, tendrías que haber dicho: "esto es para ti" o "toma un trozo de pastel", o también "¿quieres un trozo de pastel?". El trozo de pastel que le diste a tu jefe no es exactamente un regalo aunque se lo hayas dado por una ocasión especial. Espero haberte ayudado.
