Hi everyone!
My name is Julia, I'm 18 years old and I live in the southern of Spain. I've just finished high school and I'd like to study Audiovisual Communication at university because I love arts. Another thing I really love is traveling! That's one of the reasons I'm learning several languages.
I logged in iTalki because I love meeting new people and I think this is a good way to do it while I can learn or practice some languages. I have the Cambridge First Certificate in English (B2) and I also studied French at high school (A2-B1).
Nice to meet you all!

- Do I think I’m a lucky person? Why? People usually use trascendental explanations (like God, horoscopes or luck) for facts they don’t understand. I, myself, don’t have this sort of beliefs, because I think that everything happens for a reason or, sometimes, it just depends on probability. Therefore, luck doesn’t exist. Let’s see some examples: - REASON: You pass a test because you have studied or you like that subject. - PROBABILITY: You win the lottery. - REASON+PROBABILITY: You’re playing cards and win the game because you’re good at it and you also received good cards. However, people’s reaction to their own doings is, most of the times, more important than the doings themselves. I’m not lucky, but optimistic!June 10, 201822
- Practicing sports or playing video games? A couple of decades ago, it was usual to see a lot of children playing in the street with their friends; but nowadays, due to technological advance, although video games have existed since before, they have been spread and popularized. That’s when the dichotomy between sports or video games shows up. Sports have always been one the most chosen hobbies by youth . They’re not just beneficial for our health, but they also help us interact with other people and, therefore, make our social skills improve. However, although there are multiplayer video games too, people normally play them sitting, so they aren’t doing any physical activity meanwhile. Nevertheless, if everybody has got more than one way to spend their spare time, why can’t both hobbies be combined?June 9, 201810
- What kind of TV programmes or series do I like best? Why? Although I don’t have enough leisure time during high school audiovisual content is one of my favorite activities. To be honest, I seldom watch TV programs, but I really like talent shows like “The Voice”. I think it’s a great way to discover new music and have fun at the same time. What I do watch is series, which have become a really important part of people’s free time thanks to digital platforms like Netflix, Yomvi, HBO, Amazon Video, etc. The one I prefer is Netflix, although I use Yomvi too. I like almost all types of series, but the ones I enjoy the most are set at present. Some of their characters, who are usually my age, have to deal with regular teenage problems. I like that because it makes me feel identified with them. Some examples are “Degrassi”, “Skins”, “That 70’s Show”, “Friends”… However, I especially like protest topics as racism or feminism. Art is marvelous, but social art is better! It’s a fantastic way of awareness by crying and also laughing. Some examples are “Dear White People”, “13 Reasons Why”, “Black Mirror”, “Nola Darling”, “Big Mouth”, “Merlí”… To sum up, the perfect series is youngsters discussing current social issues in a bittersweet way. It’ll be difficult noto be hooked on it!June 9, 201810
- Mi perro se llama Tobey y tiene 8 años. Es un Bichon Frise. Tobey es un perro muy perezoso y dulce. No le gusta ni correr ni nadar. Sus actividades preferidas son acurrucarse y jugar con un juguete.
Hace unos días, lo traje al parque de perros. Era <strike>lo</strike> el más lento de todos los perros. Sin embargo, se divirtió y no quiso salir. Esto <strike>descubre</strike> revela su personalidad perfectamente.
Me preocupo mucho por que Tobey no reaccione bien cuando <strike>salgo para</strike> voy a la universidad. Ahora saco a pasear al perro cada día y pasamos mucho tiempo juntos. Tobey no come cuando no estoy en la casa. Espero que esté bien cuando salgo.

¡Buen trabajo!0 votedJune 7, 20181 - What travel destinations would I like to visit? I like traveling so much it's what I most want to do when I grow up (and when I can afford it by myself). Since I was a little girl, I've always wanted to do the 66 route in the United States by caravan, but now, as the political situation is complicated due to Donald Trump, I'll visit the country when his candidacy is over. Lately, I've been more interested in European cities: As I've already been to Dublin twice, I prefer to visit different places. However, although I've already been to Amsterdam too, I think I'd never get tired of its lovely atmosphere. Is it even possible to fall in love with a city? If the answer is "yes", I'm sure Amsterdam is the love of my life. In case we had an open relationship, Id also love to visit Copenhagen, Berlin, London, Paris... Regarding places outside Europe, although choosing is a difficult job, the continent of Oceania attracts my attention too. If I could make a wish, I'm sure I'd like to visit the whole world!June 7, 201861
- Should teenagers vote? The minimum age to vote has changed as the years have passed but, right now, in Spain, it's 18. However, they've been thinking about changing it to 16. In my opinion, this alteration would be a mistake. Suffrage is a right we haven't always had and a lot of people literally died to get it. That's why I think voting is so important, and also because it gives the opportunity to change your country. Nevertheless, I don't think teenagers should do it. First of all, if we want to vote, we have to be informed about what type of ideology the different political parties represent. This is a problem because even people older than 18 don't have enough information to reach a conclusion. Secondly, most of young people are very vulnerable and they change their opinion easily. They can be influenced bi their parents and, although they are doing the right thing because they trust them, the y have to create their own thoughts. I think that, before giving the teenagers the opportunity to vote, they have to get prepared for it. Voting is a very important issue because we're talking about the future of the world.June 7, 201840
- Introduction Hello everyone! How are you? My name is Julia, I'm 17 years old and I'm from the southern of Spain. I am studying my first year of Baccalaureate and then I'd like to study Audiovisual Communication at university. I logged in iTalki because I think this is a good way of meeting new people and practicing the languages I can speak at the same time, don't you think so? Although I have a Cambridge First Certificate in English, I can hardly speak French (I just have my high school level). Well, I'm looking forward to talking with someone! See you!April 24, 201720
