- The girl on the train (not the movie). Let me tell you the story I heard from the mouth of one of my partners in a language exchange. She's a Japanese girl, by that time she was working as a bar tender. She thought to travel to Saudi Arabia was a good oportunity to improve her profile. But when she was there she noticed the city was very artificial and people judge you depending on your bank account. The situation lasted around 1 year. The holidays arrived and she hadn't any plan. Suddenly a trip appeared on the horizon. She had never been in Thailand so she decided to discover what secrets there would be in that country. I know all this because everyday I watched a photograph in her status a train moving slowly and many people taking it in both sides of the road with an exotic landscape in the background. she told me some details like magical jungles with special animals like tigers. when I was a teenager I watched a movie in which a frustrated writer came inside a photograph about a paradise beach on a calendar. In a similar way I wished to come inside this photograph and to take that train with the rest of the people and live adventures in that exotic country as a backpacker.January 24, 202030
Mi octava nota en italki
Hola a todos!
Esta es mi octava nota en italki. He usando “iTalki notebook” por cinco días ahora, y me disfruta mucho.I would writte * "Este es mi octavo articulo", or "mi octava entrada en el cuaderno de Italki".
* "Estoy utilizando Italki notebook desde hace cinco días".
* "y disfruto mucho".
Hay mucha gente que quieren ayudar con las correcciones, y la comunidad aparece muy apoyo de otros.
The first segment is ok, but the second segment it sounds more fluent this way
* "La comunidad se nutre del apoyo de muchos compañeros"
La semana pasada, no sabia que esperar con italki. Pero, menos que una semana después, estoy disfrutando la experiencia mucha!
Try this * "La semana pasada, no sabía que esperar de Italki"
* "Pero, una semana más tarde" " estoy disfrutando mucho la experiencia or estoy disfrutando la experiencia plenamente"
keep doing this way, I didn´t have any problem to understand you. You´re going in the right direction
0 votedMarch 10, 20191Cuatro frases
1. Si hubiera nacido en España, creo que habría sido una arquitecta.(if you write "una arquitecta" is correct but if you write it without "una", it sounds more fluent, it´s not a mistake, only an advise)
2. Habría sido el niño más feliz del mundo si sus padres no se hubieran divorciado.(if you´re talking about a boy, it´s ok, but if you´re talking about you, you have to write "Habría sido la niña más feliz ...")
3. Si hubiera sido chico, habría tenido aficiones totalmente diferentes.
(perfect)
4. No habría ido nunca a India si no le hubiera conocido a ese chico.(I think it´s sounds better if you write this way "No habría ido nunca a la India si no hubiera conocido a ese chico")
* when we say the name of one country in spanish, normally you only say the name like "Francia, España, Italia ... etc" but in this case spanish people use to say "La India". that´s the way like native speaker does
** In the last sentence you have two options:
... si no hubiera conocido a ese chico
--- si no le hubiera conocido
*** I have to emphasize, your mastery conjugating verbs in spanish. I encourage you keep practicing this way
0 votedFebruary 10, 20191- The dog, a girl from poland and the uncertainty of Heisenberg Last summer keeping a conversation with a girl from poland. She asked to me. - Ok, what does it mean? when you´re writing this; jejjejejjejejejjejej I answered her is the way spanish people write they´re laughing down. She said; - I don´t believe you because when I´m laughing I write this ahahahahahahah. Then I remembered one anecdote from my childhood. When I was at school in the english class, my pupil book had a lot of drawings like a comic. In one picture appeared one dog barking with a several words written "uouf uouf uouf". Then my level of english was purely basic. I asked to my teacher. what does it mean? "uouf uouf uouf", my teacher said is the way dogs barking in england. I said that´s not true, because dog is the same animal all over the world and here in spain when a dog is barking it sounds like "guau guau guau". So now I understand that we try to translate sounds in our brain trough our culture. I tried to apply the uncertainty of Heisenberg on the process of communication. If you try to study a system, using a tool that it doesn´t belong to that system, the answer would be influenced by this tool. Although it sound philosophical, maybe sounds exist in a different way, in a pure form that we try to translate using a external tools. In this case we´re talking about our brain and our culture. That´s why we get different interpretations depending on the country. What´s your opinion?
February 10, 201921 Aprender español
Hola a todos!Me llamo Nicola y soy italiano de Brescia. (Ok)
Tengo 35 años y trabajo en un hotel como receptionista al en el Lago de Garda.
En realidad no me gusta màs trabajar en hotel; estoy buscando un mejor empleo ,
I say better "En verdad, no me gusta el trabajo del hotel, estoy buscando un empleo mejor"
posiblemente en una oficina como manager commercial exterior (para los paìses extranjeros). (Ok)
La mi lengua materna es italiano y hablo alemàn, inglès y estoy aprendendo español y olandès como autodidacto.
It sounds more natural this way "Mi lengua materna es el italiano, también hablo alemán, inglés y estoy aprendiendo español y holandes, de forma autodidacta"
Yo creo què español es bastante fàcil comprenderlo para un italiano pero no es tan fàcil escribirlo y hablarlo.
Try this "Creo que el español es bastante fácil de comprender para un italiano, pero no es tan fácil para mi escribirlo y hablarlo"
Quiero absolutamente hablarlo con fluidez dentro un año.
I think you can say "Mi intención es ser capaz de hablar español con fluidez y sin ningún tipo de problema, dentro de un año"
Muchas gracias por la correcciòn :) (OK)
Good job. I encourage you that you keep studying hard because It´s worth it :)

¿Son ambos correctos?When I study spanish in the school my teacher asked me these questions
Doy la pelota a Ramón.What (thing) are you giving? The ball.
Ok, so the thing that you are giving, in this case, the ball, it´s the direct object.
Le doy la pelota a Ramón.
who are you giving (the thing)?
I´m giving the ball to ramon.
I´m giving it to him
In spanish we use "le" like indirect object instead of "to him", so "le" is the indirect object.
I hope this would be useful for you. :)
Gracias.0 votedFebruary 23, 20180¿Con quién salgo de paseo?
Me gusta salir a caminar solo. Puedo pensar de algunas cosas. (You can say better "Puedo pensar en algunas cosas o sobre algunas cosas")
Pero a veces quiero caminar con uno de mis amigos. It sounds more fluent if you say "... quiero caminar con alguno de mis amigos"
Andamos juntos y platicamos. ( It´s ok but I think that a native speaker would say better "charlábamos mientras caminábamos juntos"Good job, I understand you perfectly, keep practicing

Hace un año, la fue la última vez que hablé con un profesor de Italki.Recientemente he decidido de continuar mi aprentizaje aprendizaje del idioma español con un tutor quién vive en Buenos Aires.
(You can say too "Últimamente he decidido continuar estudiando español con un tutor ...")
Era la primera vez (que hablaba)con este tutor y pienso que la conversación fluía bien fue agradable.
El tutor me escuchaba pacientemente, sin interrupción interrumpirme. Me siento alentado motivado por esta sesión.
Seguro que proseguiré mis esfuerzos para mejorar mi español hablado.
Good job, I haven't had any problem to understand you. :)
