Hello! I have studied Spanish on and off over the years and in some areas, I have done well but in other areas, I haven't done very well at all. I've had a severe hearing disability all my life and it's holding me back. I'm finally realizing that I should be restricting my Spanish learning to reading and writing. Are there teachers that can teach me by communicating only with reading and writing?

#1 - Usually something follows "normal course" i.e. normal course of events, normal course of business, normal course of life, etc. #2 - The first "you're" is fine but the second isn't. Should be "...than you are in me" Or remove "you're " completely - "...You're more interested in her than in me. #3 is fine. #4 - Grammatically it's correct but awkward to use "this" in both sentences. The first sentence should be more specific. "I don't like this job" #5 - Are you asking which is correct - furious or mad? I'd use furious but mad is very common, just more casual.

The word "ponder" would fit here, since it's not the intention to avoid it, it just needs to simmer on the back burner ,think about it for a while or to wait until something happens to trigger a resolution. If I was pondering an issue, I'd be thinking and planning and considering the options. I agree that circumnavigate doesn't work here.

You could say: "That's a very nice thing to say" or "I appreciate you telling me that" or "I'm glad you think so, that means a lot to me" or you could talk about the item being complimented. For example: the compliment: "You have beautiful hair". The response: "You think so? Hahaha, It takes me two hours to make it like this!" The compliment: "Those are lovely shoes you're wearing". The response: "I'm glad you noticed, I love them too, I searched all day to find them". BUT saying thank you is so automatic, it's a part of the culture like de nada. It's the polite and expected thing to say. You can say thank you and then add something like in the examples above.

Brash might work. Brash would indicate a person that forges ahead, thinking they know everything, arrogant.

Both sentences are a bit awkward. I would say " Certificates will be issued once feedback is received. " If you want to use one of your sentences, I would use "required TO receive".

Mía and mío
According to online dictionaries, these are correct:
El arma es mía
El pollo es mío
La cocina es mía
La idea es mía
With the word "arma", el is used because the noun starts with "a"? But mía isn't changed to masculine to match the "el", is that right? This will be tough to remember. We still use "la" for nouns starting with e, I and u?

The way to achieve this goal is long and the steps are slow, but giving up would mean having to eliminate every single achievement that was reached in the past. Additionally, since Public International Law is one of my favourite fields of Law (capital not required), I would like to develop my career internationally, thus cooperating with international organisations, where Law (capital not required) and <strike>Politics</strike> political spheres undoubtedly meet.

New year resolutions , Advance in English!!!!
I work in <strike> a</strike> an office and it looks like <strike>averyone</strike> everyone over here is starting their <strike>new years</strike> New Year's resolution. I decided to start <strike>mines</strike> mine as well (end this sentence here) This year I would like to get the advance <strike>certificate</strike>d certificate in English (if this is a "name" of a certificate, both words - advance and certificate should be capitalized. English should be capitalized in any case) , get fit, practise more meditation and yoga, save some money and start to practise for first time minimalism (if I'm understanding you correctly, this should be: ....practice minimalism for the first time). There are a lot of things to work on in this new year, but I think that(comma) with motivation and some help(comma) I will get whatever I want.
Today I am going to start working at the gym<strike>,</strike> and I am joining two workmates that started last week,(end sentence here) I hope that it <strike>encourage myself</strike> encourages me to go regularly. When you go to the gym with more people I think it is easier so don't give up. My job <strike>give</strike> gives me the <strike>oportunity</strike> opportunity to work on my <strike>english</strike> English some days, for example today it's <strike>no not</strike> busy and I have been practising some listening and grammar<strike>,</strike> and now I am practising my <strike>writting</strike>.. writing (end sentence here) I need to improve a lot if I want to get C1 at the end of the year. I would like to learn more sentences, <strike>Idioms</strike> idioms , <strike>expresions</strike> expressions and <strike>conector</strike> connectors to <strike>get a correct wirtting (</strike> this is poor wording - are you trying to say " so that I can write correctly"?) I am looking for ideas to improve my <strike>english</strike> English all the time, there are differents websides that are helping me a lot, BBC learning english it's one of my favourites, there you can find a lot of listening, new vocabulary and grammar, all very dinamic and easy to practise. there are some apps that are helping as well, willinga and duolinguo are a very good ones, I think that the best way to improve english it's no expend a lot of money in expensives academys, the best way it's try to practise the mostly of the time that be possible for you, wacth TV, listen radio, do english karaoke and talk with people in english the mostlly of the time. I am living and working in Ireland, The mostly of my workmates are foreings or irish, so I am listening english all the time,This atmosphere it' s very good to improve my fluenty but I feel that my english is no growing enought. I need to learn more grammar and vocabulary to have a better fluency. I hope that Italki hep me on it. Thanks
