Hello everyone!
I’m Raul 27 years old guy from Colombia. I’m here because I want to practice my English in listening and speaking having conversations with native English speakers. I lived in australia for almost 18 months but it’s never enough for learning a new language. I’d like to know the most common useful slangs in English.

Mi primera clase de conducir conducción
Por la mañana, después de mi clase de italki, tuve mi primera clase de conducción desde hace tres años que no conducía y tomé mis primeras clases cuando estaba aprendiendo conducir. Hacía tres años que no conducía. Estaba muy nerviosa pero el instructor me dijo que conducía bien y solo me faltaba la práctica.0 votedApril 19, 20180- Applying for Australian Visa in the embassy Part 2 I am taking an English course in the SMART language academy but it is not enough with an English course here in Colombia due it is necessary to understand and develop my fluency level in a way more similar to the native one, I made the decision to apply for an English course in Australia because it is an English speaking country and its language teaching schools have a high academic level. The school that I chose to study English is Imagine Education Australia because it is a recognized school with experience in teaching the language, which provides a lot of support to its students with a practical and interactive methodology, where I can and put into practice the English language both with the students of this school and with the native people. July 15 was the date that I chose to start my English course in Australia mainly because I plan to start the Masters of Materials and processes of the National University of Colombia in the academic semester 2019-I, so this semester is the indicated to focus on my English studies and be able to return as a bilingual professional to Colombia. Australia is a country that is widely spoken in all media, where it is shown that it is a country with a high academic level and teaching, which has wonderful tourist destinations to know where people are very kind. Because I worked for two years in CEMENTOS ARGOS S.A. I have the opportunity to be able to afford my trip on my own due the income in that company allowed me to save enough money to travel, during my time saving I kept my money in a fiduciary of Bancolombia bank, which generated certain interests and allowed me to keep my money safe. I am characterized for being a responsible, kind and confident person, who has always been motivated by studies and have a better academic education. My long-term aspirations are to be able to finish my Masters in Materials and Processes at the National University of Colombia, so I can later contribute as a high level professional in the sustainable development of my country and raise awareness among people that Colombia is a country of great opportunities and that for this we must study and be qualified, in order to achieve a better quality of life and job opportunities in my country.April 19, 201820

I am 25 years old and I am mining and metallurgy engineer since 2015 from National University of Colombia, Medellin headquarter. Currently I am working like mining project assistant in the IGNEA group of the mines faculty in the National University since January 15, 2018, where I perform research, planning and execution of mining projects. Prior to this work, I worked as a mining professional for 2 years in CEMENTOS ARGOS S.A since December 2015 to November 2017, where my main function was to coordinate and control the processes for the extraction, crushing, grinding and homogenization of raw materials for the manufacture of Clinker and cement; besides the fulfillment of the production and quality indicators of the mine. When I was studying mining and metallurgical engineering at the National University, because my academic merits I had the opportunity to win a scholarship for an interchange academic semester at the Virginia Tech Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. It was a wonderful experience, the fact to share my studies with American students to be able to know in more detail the methodology of teaching in American universities from the technical point of view of my career because I was able to expand my academic knowledge and immerse myself in a new culture, being There my interest in improving and perfecting the English language was awakened since it is the universal language and the majority of academic texts are written in this language. When I returned to Colombia I could not continue to improve my English level because I started working at CEMENTOS ARGOS S.A shortly after I graduated. That was the mainly reason I quit my job in the cement company in November of the last year because I want to continue studying and improving my English level due I am from Colombia and this is a country where the job market demands every day bilingual professionals who are competent for the development and progress of my country Colombia.April 19, 201800
Las Tentaciones, Parte Uno
Hoy voy a hablar sobre Las Tentaciones. No sobre las cosas que nos tientan o nos seducen, sino sobre un famoso grupo músico de los sesentas y setentas en los estados unidos. Pero, primero necesitas un poco de historia para ponerte en contexto. Soy de la ciudad de Detroit, la cual está en el estado de Michigan. Esta ciudad es considerada ser el centro de la industria automobile automovilística en los estados unidos porque las sedes de General Motors, Chrysler, y Ford están en dentro o cerca de ella. Detroit era una gran ciudad aunque en este momento no lo es. Pero eso es una historia para otro día. Cuando Detroit era grande (por ejemplo en los sesentas), le fue dado la el sobrenombre de Motor City (Ciudad Motor) debido de a la industria automobile automovilística Y el sobrenombre "Motor City" fue cortado abreviado a "Motown." ¿Por qué? Por que "Mo" es corta abreviatura para "Motor" y "town" es una palabra parecida de "City" (y también Motown suena mejor que "Mocity"). Entonces, fue natural que, cuando una nueva "forma" (what do you mean a band of music or kind of music?) de música fue formada en Detroit, el estudio de grabación se llamada Motown Records. Y la música que fue creada en ese estudio también fue (y todavía es) muy bien conocida de la música de Motown.0 votedApril 2, 20181US Constitution Exam (Examen de la constitución de Estados Unidos)

0 votedApril 2, 20180- Trying to do my CV Hello guys, I am a mining engineer and I am trying to do my CV but I have some problems at the moment to transcript some words that I considerer weird in spanish for translate in english. My position in my last job was (engineer encharged of the mine: production, quality, maintanance, etc) and this position in spanish is "profesional de canteras". Cantera: is a kind of mine specially for construccion materials, like cement, aggragates, limestone, etc. And i found on internet that the traduction of "cantera" is "quarry" but I don't know if I put "Quarry Professional" in my CV sounds natural or weird. Could be better: Mining professional, Professional Quarry, Professional of the quarry, Professional of the mine, ... ? What could you recomendme in this case? Thank you.March 30, 201840
La expresión es importante.
Algo en lo cual he estado pensar pensando en es que para aprender una idioma y para realmente poder hablarlo una idioma, tienes que expresarte. Mi hermana está aprendiendo ASL (American Sign Language) y se siente muy abrumada. No había aprendido la gramática de la idioma y solo está aprendiendo las palabras por la memorización de memoria. Le dije que será convertirá más fácil una vez puede expresarse en la el idioma. Y creo que esote es verdad. Tenía lo el mismo problema con el coreano y recientemente he comenzado a charlar con personas en línea y me he sentido mucho mejor después. Así, si te sientes malo en tu idioma entonces hablalo. Cuanto más hablas cuanto más tendrás la confianza para hablar con los nativos porque la práctica hace al maestro. Yo justo necesito buscar más personas para hablar con y para practicar.0 votedMarch 30, 20180
