- If I had been in a bar for an hour with my friends and it was evening and I had stayed home the rest of the day how could I express that? Can I say :" guys I really needed to hang out a little bit with you I've been /was home studying all day"? For this first question you could say It would be great to hang out for a bit. I need a break as I have spent all day at home studying. If I hadn't seen someone all day and it had been quite some time since we saw each other how would you say: "I missed you so much, I haven't seen /didn't see you all day". For this one you would say. "I missed you so much, I haven't seen you all day" If I had just finished eating would It be ok to say:"I was so hungry I haven't eaten all day"? And in this case you would say. "I was so hungry, I hadn't eaten all day" Please book a lesson with me if you would like to practice more :)0 votedSeptember 28, 20171
Some tips for learning a foreign language
I would like to share so interesting ideas I have extracted from a few articles I have read on Italki that have helped me a lot.
Firstly it is very useful to set aside some time everyday to practice the language that you have chosen to learn. Try to spend at least 30 minutes a day as this will make a big difference Practice by speaking with native speakers as this be very beneficial for you because they can help you to improve your fluency and confidence.
It is also very important to practice reading as this will help you immerse yourself in topics that will come up in everyday conversation. You do not have to understand everything you read but it is very useful to do.Finally try to find some native speakers so you can practice your new skills. Discuss as many topics as possible as this will improve your vocabulary and accelerate your learning experience.
These tips should help your fluency.

Now is a time to support each other and try to return normality as much as possible. Disasters can bring out the best in mankind and opportunities to rebuild and learn so that they can be avoided in the future.Be thankful you are still alive as this means you have not lost everything. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

I am jealous of his life as he has nothing tying him down. I guess I don't know everything about him and am only viewing it from an outsiders perspective however.
I have a lot of respect for him and find him very inspiring. I would love to live a similar life and enjoy the same freedoms he does.

My favourite piece of clothing that I own is a grey sweater that my Mother gave me. She bought it for me when I was at college. I had heard that Changchun was extremely chilly in winter so i decided I would need a warm sweater. Coincidentally, my Mother had just learnt how to knit sweaters so this would be a perfect opportunity to practice her skills and knit a sweater for me. This was also a good way to save money. As it was her first time, the sweater was vert simple and didn't have any patterns. She wanted to make a turtleneck but ran out of material so it ended up being a normal sweater. The sweater is very comfortable and great to wear in the winter! It fits very well and can also be worn with many other bits of clothing as it is monotone in colour and does not clash. Unfortunately, after two year of' wearing, it the sweater has split at the seams. I asked my mom if she could knit me another one but as it took her long the first time she said no. Even though there are sweaters in shops that are well-designed and more beautiful than the old one, they don't give me the feeling the one my Mother knitted me did. Every time I was homesick and wore the sweater It felt like that my Mother was with me and it reminded me of her.0 votedSeptember 18, 20171
