I love learning languages and am ready to stop only studying French and start speaking it (as terrifying as that is). I'm happy to help teach you English too! Female language partners only.

Neymar's answer to the critics for his overacting.
The famous Brazilian soccer player is in the center of the controversy again.
The player has been criticized due to his overacting in the soccer matches. Many people compare him with a real theater actor. But there are not only his multiple falls during the games that fill the social networks. One of the most discussed moments is when Neymar was stepped on by the Mexican player Miguel Layun. It seemed that the Paris St-Germain's forward needed the emergency room.
Does Neymar know that the soccer sport is a men's match that is played intensively and not with so many clownish tricks?
Neymar stated, it: "I don't care about either criticism or compliments, because they can influence in your attitude. I think it's an attempt to undermine me more than anything else".
His Brazilian coach Tite defended his player and also said that he saw the foul on the screen.
What soccer's experts commented:
"It was absolutely pathetic. Nobody denies is probably a better word here about his skills and great performance to play soccer, but it was pathetic when he flew through the air and pretended to be in agony. Why does he feel the need to do this?"
"If we look at the game carefully, how many fouls did Neymar receive? So many. Did he overact to Layun's foul? Sure, but Layun stepped on him."
"The best and the worst of Neymar is transformed into the same thing. Once again his performance will stay (be or remain would also work) diminished by his overacting and he will make headlines for the wrong reasons."
Personally, I think he needs someone to educate him. I don't try to compare him with Messi, but when they played together, he should have learned from Messi. Neymar is a great player; I wish he would become like his peer Ronaldinho.
This article was taken from the Spanish diary, El tiempo.com.Nicely done! Neymar certainly is entertaining to watch, that's for sure...
0 votedJuly 5, 20181- A2 Practice Writing Sample (English + French) Yesterday I took a sample A2 test online and thought I would use one of the writing prompts as a notebook entry. The prompt was three photos of Paris tourist sites with the instruction to pretend you were a tourist and write in your journal about what you'd seen. Je suis arrivée en Paris il y a trois jours. Le premier jour, j’étais très fatiguée, mais j’ai pris un tour de la ville par l’autobus. Le second jour, j’ai voyagé au chateau de Versailles. Oh la la, il est incroyable ! Je suis ébahi par la beauté de l’endroit. Le troisième jour, j’ai marché à coté de la Seine pendant une heure jusqu’a je suis arrivée a la cathédrale de Paris. Je n’ai pas de l’argent, donc je ne suis pas entrée.July 4, 201840

- Un Concert Le samedi dernier, je suis allée a un concert de danse. La compagnie était Parsons Dance. Je l’ai aimé beaucoup ! Ils sont très, très bons. Leur technique était bon, oui, mais c’était leur talent artistique que j’ai apprecié. Tout les oeuvres étaient différents. Le premier, c’était un oeuvre classique. Le seconde, c’était un oeuvre modern, et le troisième était très modern ! C’est un melange de la danse classique et le hip hop. L’oeuvre prochain était drôle; tous les danseurs étaient habillés tout en noir avec des lunettes de soleil. Ils ont essayé de se débarrasser d’un envelope, mais ils n’ont pas réussi. L’envelope a continué à tomber de le ciel ! Le cinquième oeuvre était un solo avec une danseuse. La danse et les lumières ont travaillé ensemble pour créer quelque chose d’unique. Enfin, le groupe a fini avec un oeuvre joyeux. Comme j’ai dit, je l’ai adoré. Je crois que ce concert est un de mon favoris que j’ai jamais vu.November 3, 201720
An unexpected Friday.
Hello people from the world.
I just wanted to write about my last week which started on monday morning with my boss saying "Good day Young man, did you notice it's 8:10? (I was supposed to arrive at work at 8 o'clock) , then I saw him and said to him "Sorry I missed my bus and It's just ten minutes". I sat down and checked my email for something interesting, but nothing. The same people saying same stupid and repetitive things like "Hello, I need you to do this task that I cannot to do but you are good enough "you can" would also work instead of good enough" or "Hello, There are troubles with some server or some app" (troubles easily repairable but It seems like people are happy with me fixing their troubles).
Finally my week ends on friday afternoon. I bought a pack of chocolate cookies and I decided to walk without course. Suddenly my phone rang, It was an unknown number on the screen. I said "alo" (It's the way people in my country answer phone calls). It was an Amazon recruiter asking me for an interview in english in that moment. I panicked but I said, "It's alright, give me a few minutes I'll go to a coffee shop because I'm in middle of the street", then the recruiter said "Ok I'll call you in a few minutes". A few minutes later the recruiter called me and she told me about the job position, benefits , salary and other amazing things (It was amazing because I could understand at least 90% of what she told me). I said It's an awesome opportunity and I would be happy to be part of the process". She asked me some technical questions about servers, cloud, coding and other common topics in my job. I answered each question and she told me "Ok, you are approved for a second interview, please check your email frequently for a face to face interview next week" and the phone call ended.
Now I am really anxious and excited about next week.
Greetings from Colombia.And congratulations on your successful interview; hope you get the job!
