Hi! Geia sas! Bonjour! Hallo! Buongiorno! I'm Catherine. I was born and raised in London and I still live there. I love languages. I learned French for many years but took a long break. I studied Ancient Greek and Latin at university. After university, I lived and worked in Greece for a year and 'upgraded' my Greek to the modern version! I love Greek culture and I practise Greek dancing every week with my performance group in London. I have self-studied German since 2021, when I completed the Fluent in 3 Months Bootcamp challenge. Right now I am learning Italian for travel and friendship, and Swedish to communicate with my boyfriend. I'm doing a bit of Mandarin as well. I've also dabbled in Portuguese, Japanese and Turkish.

Catherine est passionnante et a beaucoup de sujets de conversations. Faire un cours avec elle c'est lui enseigner le français (ou du moins, la corriger sur le peu de fautes qu'elle fait) mais c'est aussi apprendre plein de chose sur l'art ou la culture d'autres pays.

    Netflix allows you to watch shows in other languages with subtitles in that language. I just finished Bonfire of Destiny in French with French subtitles :) I find that really helpful because my reading skill is much higher than my listening, so I can follow the story and learn some new phrases. I haven't tested this ability with Amazon yet, to be fair.

    I'm <s>gonna</s> going to write about today's activities

    Today I woke up at 7am and then I completed all the natural things which we all do in daily life. However, there are some important things I did today such as give an interview on telephonic (not sure what word you are looking for here - television? Radio?). <s>and there is</s> It suprised <s>to</s> me to get <s>a </s>selected for that so today my whole day was very happy.

    A good start. Think about where your sentences need to start and finish.

    A Movie

    The rich family cut their trip short because the weather had become worse. The mother rushed to pick up the telephone, and she was surprised when she had heard the voice of the rich woman asking her to prepare a meal for her child. Meanwhile, the war in the basement had not <s>been</s> finished yet. The former maid bled a lot after she had been <s>severely hit</s> This phrase sounds odd - I'd use the word beaten instead by the father when she was trying to go upstairs. The maid's husband lost his mind and started crying hysterically after he <s>had seen </s>saw his wife lying dead on the floor.The rich family was planning to have a party for their child to cheer him up after the bad trip. Meanwhile, the members of the poor family hid in some vacant rooms apart from the father ,who managed to escape out of the house. The father <s>showed up again to</s> presented himself to the rich family and offered his help <s>about</s> with organizing the party. The mother hid her anxiety and acted like nothing had happened. The guests started to attend the party carrying their gifts.

    To be continued!

    A great summary of a great movie :) Just a couple of phrases that weren't quite right for the context, but otherwise very accurate. Well done!

    Russia. Shoes in the house.

    I remember how I was surprised when I was watching American movies and saw people walking inside the house, lying on a sofa and sleeping in a bed in shoes. We don't wear shoes where we live. Usually we have slippers for everyone in the family as well as slippers for guests. If you don't like slippers you normally can walk in the house in socks or barefoot but no one can walk in shoes in the house.
