(via Google Traduction) Je suis un locuteur natif de langue anglaise qui cherche quelqu'un avec qui pratiquer la parole et l'écriture en français, et en échange de les aider à pratiquer leur anglais. Je suis très nouveau pour apprendre le français (A1) et je voudrais donc trouver quelqu'un qui est anglais est également à un niveau de début. Idéalement, nous échangerons des courriels et peut-être parler avec Skype au moins une fois par semaine. Nous serons patients les uns avec les autres et nous rirons beaucoup, je suis sûr. Je suis marié, j'ai deux chats, pas d'enfants, j'aime la photographie, le violon, la lecture, et je suis un scientifique professionnellement. Je parle avec un accent nord-américain (je suis des États-Unis à l'origine). Je préfère un partenaire linguistique qui a plus de 30 ans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a native English speaker who is looking for someone with whom to practice speaking and writing French, and in exchange help them to practice their English.

Ideally, we will exchange emails and perhaps speak with each other on Skype at least once a week. We will be patient with each other and laugh a lot, I am sure. I am married, have two cats, no children, enjoy photography, the violin, reading, and am a scientist professionally. I speak with a North American accent (I am from the United States originally). I would prefer a language exchange partner who is over the age of 30.

    Yes! I listen to News in Slow French. They put out a new episode every week, along with a transcript. They do other languages as well. I've found listening to really help my comprehension and pronunciation, especially since I don't have constant exposure to French. I focus more on hearing the delineation between the words, even if I don't know what they all mean. Here is the News in Slow Spanish for you if you are interested (https://www.newsinslowspanish.com/premium-content) I've been told that the Harry Potter books are generally well translated into other languages as audio books, and since I already know what is going on in those stories, I will be checking that out eventually. I'd be interested to hear what others listen to, especially for the beginner/intermediate level.

    IN general (most cases) a vowel followed by two consonants will have the long sound (apple) while a vowel followed by a single consonant and then a vowel will have the short sound (date). Senate and senator are exceptions to this rule. Unfortunately, every language has exceptions! To sum up: vowel - consonant - consonant -> long sound vowel - consonant - vowel (usually an e) -> short sound

    The use of would here means that people want better healthcare and are willing to pay more to get it, but that option is not available to them. "I would travel more if I had the money." - This implies that I want to travel, but do not have the money to do so. "If he is not busy on Saturday, I would go to the zoo with him." - This implies that I don't know if he is available, but if he is, I will go to the zoo with him. "I would like you to go to the store." - This is more of a polite way of asking someone to do something.

    Note: it is much more common to simply say 'technology', 'personal technology', or only 'devices' or 'gadgets' instead of technological devices.


    Effects of Technology

    Nowadays a lot of people have technological devices and these technological devices take up a lot of their time their long time. People are using technological devices during the day time. (not sure what you were trying to say here with 'day time') A lot of technological devices make their life easier easy by helping them earn money, communicate, learn, research, etc. People can reach a lot of much information via the by internet on with computers and smart phones. Social networking is one way of the communicating  area with other people far or near who is far from to us. The internet crosses borders and brings makes people closer. Some information is necessary to share and some information should not be shared informations are really unnecessary. People are communicating sharing about some of sensitive topics such as about racism, religion, and violence, including to etc; especially people violence each other, human to animals, and to the enviroment environmental. A lot of children are seeing this violence online and on television. We need to be aware of  awake about violence  in the of media and we have to  take do our responsibility for about it like . For example, we can be sensitive about what people think, their ideas, and share with respect. When we show our respect for others we will see that people show are showing respect to us in return.

    Both ways of saying it are correct. "To get at" something is just slightly more colorful way of saying to obtain. "To get at" very slightly implies you have to travel, or dig, or in some other way there is a process involved before you can obtain or complete the object of the phrase. Since guts are inside something, using 'to get at' is, like guts, is just an imaginative phrasing.

    Your sentences are mostly correct, well done. "Writing emails in English is very common at my company." The word universal is more generally used to describe something that is the same for groups larger than a company, like a country, the world, or a condition of the human experience. The word 'common' sounds more natural for your usage here. "I'm planning a trip across Europe that will end in Germany." "I will not be in my office at that time, so could you leave it with our gatekeeper? "We are not satisfied with your performance recently." "By cooperating, you can learn a lot of from one another. Also, you can share your experiences."

    "You can say that again!"

    "Isn't that the truth"

    "Exactly that"

    "Right on"

    "So true"

    "You've nailed it on the head."


    Off the top of my head, these are all idioms meant to express emphatic agreement. I am sure there are others.

    Three months ago, I met a tourist in my village. I wanted to say "hello" to them, but I am not confident. It is a shame. Actually, I have studied English for twelve years. I have always wanted to meet a tourist, want to introduce my village, and take them to eat food. I am living in Ho Chi Minh City, but I will go home to Binh Dinh province. to start up. In my village, there are very beatiful landscapes. If I can speak english, I will take tourists go to there, although I am not a guide.

    -----------------------

    Remember to capitalize "I" and the first letters of proper nouns, like the names of cities.

    Side note: I hope you gain confidence to speak to tourists. They would be happy someone was so friendly! Mistakes are ok when speaking. When I visit other countries, I am always appreciative of someone attempting to speak my language (and allowing me to attempt to speak theirs).

    Suburbs are a part of cities. Outskirts can be related to anything spatial. You can say that 'the suburbs on the outskirts of the city' which refers to the suburbs on the very edge of city - far out. You can have suburbs that are not so far out from the city center, but you would not say they were on the outskirts. Outskirts is reserved for something at the edge. Outskirts is not always plural, however you are far more likely to see it in the plural. 'The cabin was situated on the outskirt of the plain' for example. However that sentence is also correct with the plural, outskirts. It is a bit of an old word. I hope that has helped. Alexis
