    1--persuasions. We don't use that word like this. Try--his persuasive argument / ideas 2--This sentence doesn't make sense. 3--change sight to glance, with a a quick glance. 4--the conditions that will suit them--try, when they revealed their conditions. 5--She was bewildered that he feels such loathing for her. 6-- He was rubbing the car using a sponge with abrupt movements, so I asked him to take it easy or he could ruin the paint job. Paint job means the paint on the car, the color When I read these sentence, it is the vocabulary the seems to be giving you trouble. Sometimes words have a few meanings and usages.

    Please correct notebook entry: Learn Vietnamese by speaking slowly

    Speaking slowly is a good way to learn Vietnamese. Vietnamese is monosyllabic language, and the speaking speed <s>to speak</s> is slow. You mustn't speak too fast. <s>Only s</s> Speak <s>slow</s> each word slowly.

    For example: "Tôi là một công nhân". <s>Let p</s> Pronounce each word from 3-5 s. Tôi/là/một/công/nhân :D

    <s>Then r</s> Record and listen <s>again</s>. If <s>you still speak</s> are speaking too fast, you can change it. <s>And</s> Then, repeat, repeat, repeat <s>many times</s>. <s>You will see</s> Your speaking skills <s>that will be better</s> will improve.

    A German linguist <s>linguistic </s>said: <s>should to</s> learn Vietnamese by speaking first, not by passive listening.<s> Should to p</s> Pronounce each word. It seems <s>to be</s> boring, but actually, it's very useful to learn Vietnamese. (You can visit the link below.)

    <s>I knew my Indonesian friend who feels fear when he listened to my voice about "A" with 6 tones in Vietnamese. </s>
    My Indonesian friend gets nervous when he hears me speak "A" with 6 different tones when I speak Vietnamese.

    A<s>fter you will be good at each vowel, you should speak phrases, sentences simply like name, job, age, address...</s>

    After repeating pronunciation drills, you will become better with each vowel. Include in your daily study speaking phrases, sentences, and small conversations like, introductions.

    Finally, don't forget to research Vietnamese culture to understand Vietnamese better.

    Complicated text here. Where is it from? Ok simple answer no it doesn't mean what you think it means. To figure it out start by breaking it down and figuring out what is going on. It seems a guy named Thiel has bought a house, perhaps, and has been open about why he bought it. The next part is other wealthy people who are buying houses are not as open about why they are buying the houses they are buying. The kinds of houses they seem to be buying are houses that are build to also function as a place to go and live when an apocalypse happens. Summary: it means that the reasons people are buying houses that are apocalypse retreats are not as open about why they are buying them as Thiel is.

    Uma Resenha de Bear Volume 2 de Bianca Pinheiro Eu li Bear v1 no ano passado e gostei do livro. Portanto, eu quis ler o v2 e juntar-me à aventura da Raven e do Dimas. Espero que a Raven encontre os pais dela. Neste livro o Rei G quis encontrar a Raven e o Dimas. O Rei G esta zangado porque eles assumiram o seu trono. A Raven e o Dimas estão a procurar os pais dela. Eles encontram uma cidade, com um cheiro ruim a toda volta. Antes, esta cidade chamava-se Metódica, mas agora chama-se Cidade das Crianças. Todas as pessoas na cidade são crianças. Nesta cidade todos os adultos são crianças. Eles foram transformados em crianças. A cidade esta uma bagunça. Infelizmente, todos os adultos que entram na cidade voltam a crianças. E o Dimas agora é uma cria. A Raven deve cuidar do Dimas. Esta é o tema do livro: Cuidando uns dos outros. No livro v1, o Dimas cuide da Raven; agora, a Raven tem de aprender a cuidar do Dimas. Ela faz isso sem problema, sem perguntas. Acho que e isso que gosto da Raven. A Raven compreende amizades. O Dimas é importante para a Raven. Um outro tema do livro é crianças devem ser crianças, e adultos devem ser adultos. Mas na Cidade de Crianças, as crianças têm de fazer o trabalho de adultos. Um rapaz trabalha como polícia, mas ele não sabe como. Ele tem muito medo e raiva, raiva por cause do medo. Uma outra criança, uma rapariga, tem um irmão mais novo, mas os pais dela não têm interesse em cuidar deles. Os pais estão crianças e vivem como crianças. Portanto, a rapariga tem de cuidar do irmão dela, e de outros babes que não têm quem os ajude. Adultos que leem este livro devem compreender este teme. Se calhar, eles esquecem isso com as crianças deles. Se calhar exigem muitas tarefas des crianças e as crianças não tem tempo por jogar, por ser uma criança. A Raven é uma personagem principal interessante. Ela é bravo e inteligente. Quando ela encontrava com a princesa, ela é honesta com a princesa. A Raven fala com a princesa e explana a feitiça fui error e causou muitas problemas por as crianças real. A Raven mostra a inteligente dela quando ela falava com a princesa. A Raven seguiste eles discutiram juntas e sozinhas. Acho que isso monstra a Raven compreende quem a princesa é, e discutiram forna outras iria envergonhá-la. Quando eles voltam para os outras, a princesa dez o que a plana é. Este livro é muito bom por crianças, e por pais. Por os studentes, o livro é muito bom e muito útil. Mutios palavras aprender

    First experience to book teacher

    It's  This is my first essay at on italki. I want to improve my knowledge in of the  English language.
    I have been registered in italki for a long time, but never could to book a teacher, I can't find the time on which to book a lesson.
    I have a child  2 years old child, and my life is unpredictable. If I have found time at the evening in this day child obviously didn't go to sleep in time. Every day I do everything exclude something to improve my English.
    And now I am preparing to start change it. I have booked my first teacher. I'm very happy of it.


    Very good job.  Here are some consistent problems you are having:  prepositions.  on italki.  Prepositions are not easy, so just keep trying and you'll learn which ones go in which situations.  Secondly, the article "a", remember it is used in general situations when we are not discussing something specific.  I booked a lesson. The lesson I had yesterday was good. 


    About the sentence highlighted aquamarine  The problem with this sentence is the verbs.  This is a conditional sentence. You will learn about them in the future. But the verbs can change.  If I found time one evening, then that night, my child would obviously not go to sleep on time. 


    WEll done, keep working on it.  Listen to the tv while you play with your child, or do work around that house. That will help improve your skills.

    Beauty salon

    I wanted to go a beauty salon since for 5 months ago. Since my place is countryside, people I can’t make a reservation in advance, (It means people can’t make a reservation the day before). I tried to go there few times, but the beauty salon is always crowded. That is why I went home without cutting my hair. Today, I went there again. Normally, there are always over 10 people waiting their turn, but there is only 1 person today. Finally, I had got cut my hair cut!


    Nicely done.  Here are your common errors.  Clauses connected with a coordinating conjunction must have a comma as well. Example:  I went there again today, but no one was working.   Secondly, you forget the common after adverbs starting a sentence.  Very good job!
