Profile
Hello! I enjoy learning languages and am looking to get my French to a conversational level. I would love to do a language exchange where I can help out with English and someone else can help me with French.
Bonjour! J'm'appelle Artemis et je veux etudier le Francais. Je ne parl pas tres bien, mais j'espere que je peux amléiorer. Je veux être capable d'avoir une conversation à un niveau intermèdiaire! Aussi, je recherche un partenaire linguistique pour pratiquer mon français et je peux aider l'anglais.
I am also an intermediate Spanish speaker, though I have not taken for a formal test to see how I would classify. I feel comfortable in most conversations, and while I certainly have gaping holes in some of my grammar and more complicated sentences, I would feel comfortable living in a Spanish speaking country. I also speak some Jordanian Arabic, and can generally understand Arabic from balad a-sham, though it is pretty rusty.

- Mooncakes flavors are not only don't have to only be sweet, it they can be salty too.could be salt flavor too. I personally like the taste with both flavors. Most people might feel think the sweet taste ones are too sugary. Sometimes, after with more than three bits of a sweet flavor mooncake, you probably will feel a bit sick of it. I believe that if you took have it with something beverages to drink, like black coffee, green tea without sugar or oolong tea, it will be is a good match.
(perhaps I could try to eat some sweet mooncakes with the unsweetened Earl black tea without sugar next time)0 votedJune 20, 20170 Diary 2017.20.06 Should I call it as this a pastry or snack? It actually could be dessert...isn't couldn't it?
This is a traditional Chinese pastry. Actually, you might call it as "mooncake". However, in the Chinese language, its name is “月餅” and the word “餅” is more like some snacks made by from dough flour or some starchy kind ingredients, like how you make made cookies and biscuits.
Somehow For some reason, people are used to usually naming call a food whose the basic construct is a piece of made with this pastry (not it doesn't always have to be in round-shapes looks) by this the word “餅”.
For an instant instance, there is a are famous foods like "tacos'' or ''burritos'', and in Chinese we call them as ''墨西哥捲餅''
Their names aren't transliterated from the original names. and Instead, we of named them by name them by their general forms, like in the Chinese way; however, but we still put the region ''Mexico'' where they came from as a distinctive part of in the name.0 votedJune 20, 2017040 - Studying English
Since my childhood I have been studying English. But only now, on the cusp of turning 39 years old, I am I really sure that I really figured out a good way to keep improving. my learning skill.
The Most of my journey learning English I was spent into a classroom. Normally, a Brazilian in Brazil, a teacher providing provides a grammar lesson material along with some robotics rote activities to that we practice with classmates. Twice a week is a kind of pattern to attend this course here. We usually would have two classes a week. Moving from a beginner to an advanced level will last take at least 6 years.
I am have a strong doubt of doubtful if this is accuracy accurate. Whatever Any evaluation will method of instruction will fail or get disappointed if the student does not spend enough time speaking and listening a real to English with a native speaker. The resources from a traditional course are not enough for real conversations.
Since Starting last year I have been improving my English skills by only exposing myself to resources that have native speakers. native resources. There are many materials spreading on the Internet, such as Youtube channels, news, TV shows, movies, etc. Here on italki is also a fantastic place when where we can exchange our knowledge between the cultures from around the world.0 votedJune 20, 20171Today's song
Today I discovered such a beautiful song. It was 8 eight in the morning and I was driving my mom to an appointment. I didn't have my phone with me (in that which case, I would have opened Shazam and let it do its work) so I had to pay attention to the announcer as soon as the song ended. I heard something like "Chart smile", and with that information and the exact hour, I could follow the trail of this track down this pretty song. My favorite radio station, the one I always listen to, updates its playlist almost instantly. its playlist so The only thing I had to do was not to forget to check it later in the day.
I almost got it right. The name of the song is "Shark Smile" from by "Big Thief". Have you heard it? For some reason, I've always been very fond of this kind of melancholic* music.* I am actually not sure if "melancholy" or "melancholic" is more appropriate. I have seen them used interchangeably as adjectives, though "melancholy" can be a noun or an adjective. "...this kind of melancholy music." sounds better to my ear, but I don't think that "melancholic music" is wrong either.

It bothers me a little when they are people learning Spanish and confuse try to speak Spanish from Latin America* me with me. Latin Spanish Yes, we speak Spanish but not Latin not Spanish from Latin America. My Spanish is 100% from Spain. I don't understand why there is this confusion. I do not know Latin American expressions, and people from Latin America it speaks very differently. and The culture is also very different too. Although I do love Latin America though; well I like to learning everything and about many different places. [emoji]* You could also say "Central and South America" instead of "Latin America".

It has a good (?) sense of smell. (Grammatically correct, but sounds odds to just state it has a sense of smell. You need an adjective. Having a sense of smell is something we would assume for a mammal.) The ears are short and hidden by hairs.This species is also very common in Europe. The hedgehog is a nocturnal animal, half-night. meaning it hunts during the night.0 votedJune 19, 20171Rabbits
The Rabbit (This is fine if you are talking about one rabbit. If you would like to refer to rabbits in general, you should use "Rabbits", like in your title)
Rabbits are present in anywhere everywhere on Earth. They are spreaded can be divided into nine groups: Brachylagus, Bunolagus,

I would like to thank you and your parents for the entertainment (not wrong, but sounds odd to not say what type of entertainment, or gift. Though it sounds like you mean to say "for hosting us"), it was very nice. I felt the warmth a lot. I really enjoyed my stay in your home and along with the very tasty dishes with a and fantastic beer. I shall never forget your hospitality, and generosity. manner and very polite asking. It was apparent that you were trying to make sure if I had a good time, which I definitely did! during the period. Undoubtedly, I did. In particular, I was really excited to visiting the night market, because I had heard about it before, but was so terrific that I was so anticipated before I came here, also there were so many things that surprised me as well.
My parents asked me to express their gratitude for your taking care of me so well. Besides, they want to go traveling in Taiwan in the future, perhaps it will be at the end of this year. Certainly, I am looking forward to seeing you all soon. By then, it will have become It is my turn to invite you to come stay here for a while. here to stay a period of time. It is deeply believed that we will get a lot of pleasure together. I think it will be a lot of fun. Here, I Thank you again for your kindness to me last April. Your hospitality was truly wonderful, and you are a better host than many others (To my ear, it sounds a bit odd to compare someone so directly. It sounds like you are comparing a family friend to a business service; however, I don't know all the context, so I just tried to improve the sentence. Perhaps a more polite way to make a comparison would be "...and your hosting skills leave nothing to be desired! " It is a more indirect comparison.). is good to be compared with some very experienced hostages' hosts and even better than them.

I hadn't known its name in English before I did today's dairy (in fact, it's always a drill from a book, I think I should try to start writing a real "Diary")0 votedJune 18, 20170Diary 2017.12.06 Practice from a Writing Exercise Book
Sometimes parents make their children draw up what their ideal occupation ("job" sounds a bit more natural, as you are writing about speaking with children) would be. (You could say "what occupation they have their hearts set on" as well.) are they have their hearts set on. mostly.
When I was at the a restaurant, I had the waiter wait on for serving our one-year anticipated dinner. (I don't understand what you want to say. Do you mean to say, you asked the waiter to hold off, or wait, to serve the entire meal? Or are you just saying the waiter served you?. Also what is a "one year anticipated dinner". Do you mean anniversary?)
Many people take their cars to service stations to get an oil change. the oil to fill up.
Teachers sometimes have their students encourage each other to/by .... (you need to finish the clause in the sentence).
I am more than willing to help to give out those flyers.
Before I left on my trip, I had the travel agent settle on which airline I will take.

0 votedJune 18, 20170- #4: Mon Groupe Linguistique Bonjour tout le monde ! Hier, je suis allé à un rendez-vous avec mon groupe local linguistique. Le groupe est une groupe de l’app « Meetup » ici en les États-Unis, et dans le groupe je peux pratiquer à parler le français avec tous les type de personne qui parler le français, par exemple, nous avons personne qui ont habité pour un, deux, cinq, et dix ans dans la France ou autre pays de la Francophone, comme Sénégal, Burundi, et Rwanda. Mais maintenant, nos groupe n’avons pas quelqu’un qui ’est locuteur natif. Pour moi, c’est pas grave parce que je pense que je sois un débutant et tout le monde que parler un peu de français peut m’aider ! Aussi j’aime le groupe parce que je peux écouter à la conversation plus difficile et rapide. Je n’ai pas compris 100% mais peut-être j’ai compris 70%. Par exemple, il y avait une conversation sur les langues du Rwanda et comme toute la majeure langue (le kinyarwanda, le français, et l’anglais) est très politique et aussi, si le Rwanda est vraiment un pays « Anglophone » ou si lui est un pays « Francophone ». La réponse est très complexe, et je pense que la réponse va à changer avec les personnes différentes. Alors même que j’ai compris un peu, je suis fâché parce que je pense que je ne parle pas très bien. Quand je parle, j’ai dit chose qu’ont été brisées et lentes, mais, c’est la vie si nous voudrions apprendre une autre langue.June 18, 201740
