I'm Emily, I've always been interested in languages. I learned German in school, but have not used it for years. I am currently studying Korean. I became interested because I watch k-dramas and listen to k-pop. We have just stared our letters, so I only know letters and a few words and phrases. I would also like to learn Hebrew, Hindi, and some Mandarin someday.

    They are all true, but the last one is gramatically incorrect. However and although mean pretty much the same thing. However links two thoughts or statements together. Often, one part is a complete thought, and the other is not. (dependent clause) It doesn't matter if thought a or thought b is first. The word however should not be used to start a sentence, because the sentence may be incomplete. The patern is: part a; however, part b.

    Entry number 6

    The time to write anything. Something

    I hope today it will be more succesful than my yesterday's entry which seems to be too long, or too boring for readers, or just didn't get the range of their interests. Who knows? It doesn't matter. Today I have a great view out of my office window, (use , not : ) the sun  shines brightly and there are no clouds in the hyaline (? Russian word? Or I can't figure out the spelling) . You  could (can)  see every single city detail across the Ob river, that now looks like a giant white snake which was clamped by bridges arches tryaing to squirm throughout our city. Now it's lays calmly. It's frozen. Only yesterday the outside temperature was about zero Celsius, but today it's already -18, with a strong chilling wind and tends to reach predicted (to reach -35) on the Friday -35.
    Would you like to visit Siberia in Winter?  (If) So, don't forget to buy a warm clothes or get ready to buy it here =)

    See you tomorrow

    message me if you have questions or want better explainations.

    Freedom

    It's hard to define the word freedom.  The most powerful country in the world, which started many wars claimed that they were protecting freedom. A group of people in Middle East which plotted a lot of attacks over the world, said they want to be free.  

    Everyone has different definition of freedom. In mine, freedom is the right to be wrong, not the right to do wrong.

    Excellent job!  The only grammatical error I found was "defines".   The rest is just formatting, so that it looks good And reads clearly,

    Hi Huyen,

    Here is my take on this as a college level American born English speaker.  I will add explainations after I show how I would write what you've written.  Your English writing is excellent.  Much of what I did is drop the implied text.  BTW I've seen WGM.

    I’ve just watched a Korean reality tv show, called We Got Married. On one of episodes, the main couple, is required to welcome a foreigner. Unfortunately, the couple can only speak a little English, so the whole conversation is usually yes or no questions.  I can feel the moment when both the couple and the guest want to communicate with each other but their ability is limited.

     I imaged I was a interpreter and helped them speak together.  To Fancy, (an Afghanistan man),

         "Hi, Fancy,  I’m Huyen. I’m here to help you make sense with what is happening.  I will tell you about the show and the couple you are meeting.   As you know, This is a reality tv show about newlyweds. The catch is that all couples haven’t dated yet in real life or even met each other before. When they participate in this show, they become a couple and will have time to date before getting married in the show.  The "dating/ marriage" usually lasts 4 or 5 months depending on the writers and the couple's relationship.  The couple doesn't marry legally in their real lives and will separate at the end of the season.  The premise of the show is that two celebrities play house.  Today, You are the Adam couple’s guest. They are 3 months newlywed, and their job is to help you to become familiar with the Seoul lifestyle."

    i hope the explainations make sense. Everything is run together because of character limitations. Questions ? Let me know. Hope it helps.

    @realistic (reality show)  @the main couple acting as the main roles (implied) @they (if referring only to the couple, using both clarifies they).  @(use idiom 'yes/no question') just said yes or no .  @ too much  (use adj./adv. desperately or badly) @transformed all situation with all. (doesn't work)   @Use quotes =talking directly to someone. @"I’m Huyen @all guys (doesn't work) make sense @(of) what @ to show (Use tell.)
