As part of my job I get to travel around the world, in particular Jordan and Indonesia. I would love to learn some Arabic to help improve my prospects. My current focus is Italian and I'm starting to get in to a position where I'm comfortable with language tandems. I am still looking for language partners to improve my German, and I am willing to help you in return with conversation in English. I look forward to hearing from anyone who may be interested!

    Looking for Italian or German conversation in exchange for English
    I am looking for language partners to help practice my Italian mainly, but also some German, in exchange for English.

    During a time when many people are forced to work or stay at home, maybe a break for some language learning would be a nice distraction for some people.

    I have some experience teaching English as a second language so will be well equipped to support with common mistakes and help you practice talking about your interests.

    My main interests are sport, in particular football, music and reading. I keep up with the latest shows on Netflix etc. and would like to practice talking every day language.

    Thanks

    https://www.thoughtco.com/common-english-idioms-3211646

    I had a look at this article of 40 common idioms that was linked from John's key to success, and it's a good list with many idioms that are very regularly used. 

    In terms of learning them, I believe you can create your own flashcards and learn them on memrise.com

    Hope that helps

    Hi Birgit, 

    I am an Arsenal fan, so I am glad you don't support Bayern Munich!

    I would be more than happy to help you practice your English in exchange for some German practice! 

    Thanks :)

    In this example, both are correct, and the meanings of the two words overlap. Hard can be used in a number of different ways, i.e hard to do something, or the opposite of soft. Difficult is used to describe something that is not easy to do, or takes a lot of skill.

    Hi, 


    1) You can say, 'The first time I was here/ there...' and 'This is the first time I've been here'

    2) You can 'do/ pursue' a degree, although 'doing a degree' is probably the most common in England. You 'study for a degree' rather than studying a degree, and getting/ earning a degree would be more commonly used when the degree has been finished. 

    You would say that you 'study from distance' or that you 'study on site'. 

    Finally, you can ask,  'Can I do/pursue/ two degrees at the same time?' or 'Can I study for two degrees at the same time?'


    I hope that helps!!!

    If you wanted a real colloquial version, you could say: I am gassed, or You are so gassed! This is used often in youth culture these days! ;)
