I'm interested in learning Korean through various media including conversations. I love teaching, so I thought an exchange would be perfect. Korean Exchange Only Please. I can use Skype or Kakao as a main resources for communication. I am just beginning Korean, so most of the conversation would be in English to start.

    Who/What do you live for?

    Who do you live for? Most people would answer “for myself”. Seems  It seems this is a proper answer, and it seems the answer has been standardized. But how many people can do it on earth? I don’t think the number could be much would be many.
    We are not Sunwukong (a Chinese Monkey King); we were not born from a stone. Therefore, since we were born, we have parents and other relatives surrounding us. When we grew up, we had friends and partners accompanying together helping us. We seldom live alone with ourselves. So, we have to care for others' moods and saying words. We are afraid of making them angry. Sometimes, we will do something they want, that we would not have to want done, just because we don’t want to make them unhappy. Too many cares are about others; how could we say that we live for ourselves then?
    I don’t know if I expressed myself clearly; I just want to articulate something I encountered. Regarding others' opinions, my parents had a quarrel today. Sighs, what was that for? I don't think it's completely necessary.

    As a native English speaker, I find that punctuation use is conditionally based on context or purpose of my communication. If I am texting a friend or writing a quick sentence for something small, then I will probably use less punctuation. In school essays, professional work documents, emails discussing serious content, etc., punctuation is respectful and important.

    I've used tv shows to help me with the familiarity of syllables. Once I learn a phrase in my studies, then I try to notice it and it's variants in the tv shows that I watch. In my case, it is Korean, but I believe tv shows are a good supplement to other study methods.

    Little diary:)

    Tomorrow my boyfriend will arrive at my house. We live far apart (about 350km), so we can be together only for little time, and we have to travel by train for a long time. We stay together very well, and by now we have been together for 8 years!:) I'm very happy, I miss him a lot! Today I shopped for tomorrow because I want to bake him a surprise cake! I hope he'll enjoy it. I can't wait to hug him! ^-^

    Letter

    Dear friend,

    How are you? Thank you for being with me. I enjoyed playing football at the beach. I want to see you again! Do you want to go to Germany next time?

    Bye,

    Alberto



    COMMENT: ("Thank you for being with" is awkward - I would indicate if it was a visit, meeting, outing, or specifically what you did, rather than a generic "being with".)

    My experience with dogs and cats.

    My experience with dogs and cats are not always fun and pleasant. I can still remember clearly that dogs bit me twice on my ankle and leg, and a fat cat scratched me on my face when I was a child.

    Despite these unpleasant memories, I like them but I prefer dogs over cats. I don't think I have a common language with cats. They always run away and I fail to get their attention when I get close to them. Dogs are different. Generally, dogs are loyal, brave and energetic. Those are exactly the traits I like.

    My family kept 6 dogs but no cats. My last dog accompanied me for ten years, from my childhood to my youth. I was so sad about his death. I even wrote something to mourn him. Since he died, my family does not have dogs anymore because we do not have the time and energy to take care of a dog.

    On a summer vacation, when I came back home from college, I noticed there was a dog in my neighbour's yard. He looks huge and fierce but actually he is very nice to people. I feel as if he is a child when he I touch him on the head. It's so easy to establish a good relationship with him by feeding him. Every time he hears my steps, he jumps out of the fence. He waits me at my door every morning and welcomes me after I get back from work. Well, probably he just wants some food from me.

    How I wish this was my dog.

    My first entry ;-)

    Hello!

    This is my first entry here on italki. I’ve found a very nice teacher who help(s) me with my English. I’ve been learning English for almost three years now. I wasn’t really good at school. I had hated it, but now it’s fun! I love it! I use many sources to learn.
    Here are just a few examples (beside italki):

    -Essential Grammar in Use / English Grammar in use (by Raymond Murphy)
    -Practical English Usage
    -English Grammar (Die große Grammatik von PONS)
    -Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries
    -Learner's Dictionary (Merriam-Webster)
    -YouTube
    -Babbel
    -dict.cc
    -Podcasts

    Just recently I have written my first business email to a customer, and it was a very exiting experience. I want to work on English after work even though is takes a lot of effort. I often write with my American friends. One of them is already my best friend. It’s such a nice thing to use English in that way! It has really helped me to stay in touch with other(s), and it’s a great opportunity to make new friends!

    I really appreciate the effort from my teacher Stephen, thank you very much!

    Greetings!
    Christian
