    I think I am a talkative person. l like communication and to find new friends. The most talkative person in my family is me, of course! Hmm, although... it could be my father. Maybe. He doesn't like to communicate with new people, but he likes to tell about his research<strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">es</strike>. He can talk about <strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">them</strike> it for a long time. And the most talkative person that I know is the woman who <strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">get</strike> got acquainted with me <strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">in</strike> at the children's polyclinic. She talks about everything! And doesn't take breaks and doesn't worry about intercutor's (I'm not sure what this should say) silence.
    So, I guess, in general, women are really more talkative than men. There is a reason for the stereotype about it.

    I'm English we use articles (a/the) before nouns and I know it's hard switching from a language that doesn't (though I've done it the other way around). Some of my corrections are nitpicky, but I tried to go by how I personally would say it.

    We don't normally use "revenge" as a verb. The word "avenge" means something like "to get revenge for" (or maybe "to get revenge on behalf of" would be better). "I'll avenge you" is the way to say it.

    Talk with people as much as possible, and try to avoid translating into English. It's hard for me to do but I have to try not to think 'okay, that means this in English' because then I'm just adding another hurdle. Flashcards with pictures are good learning material for me because I associate the picture with the word, rather than translating from one language to another. We think in images, not words, so it is the best way to begin thinking in our target language. I don't believe we're fluent until we think in our target language, personally.

    1). I’m very shy, I take after my grandma.

    2).She takes after her dad

    3).I took my brother along to the kindergarten

    4).He spent two days taking his car apart.

    5).In difficult situations he can’t shut up. He is always <strike>take</strike> taking his opponent apart.

    6). It was a difficult question, so I decided to take him aside to another room.

    7). My mom has taken me away to the home. (This one is grammatically correct, sort of - if your mom has taken you to your house, then I would say My mom has taken me home.) 

    8). I have to take back all those (maybe "of the" would be better) books which (I would never hear or see "which" used here in my region, but it's technically correct) I took out from the library.

    9). She had to take down all of the words <strike>what</strike> that he said.


    I had never realised how complicated the verb "to take" is before. It has so many meanings.

    Switzerland, with a territory of 42,285 square kilometres and a population of only 7.7 million, is one of the most developed countries in the world and <strike>has the richest people.</strike>

    I would say "and is home to some of the richest people" - I think it sounds more natural.

    Salut Sébastien, je voudrais beaucoup pratiquer mon français avec toi si possible, je sais pas même si cette message est demi-correct parce que quand j'écris c'est merdique toujours... Au fait, ma langue natif est anglais (britannique ou américain, j'ai habité dans l'États-Unis pour dix ans mais j'habite dans Irlande du Nord aujourd'hui) et (si vous peuvez lire cette comment) je peux t'aide avec anglais. Mon anglais est meilleur que mon français...

    Désolée pour la grammaire, ou désolée pour toutes les choses, je veux pas utiliser un dictionnaire parce que je peux pas apprendre si je le faire

    Looking for an Afrikaans speaker Hi, so I assume if you speak Afrikaans you probably don't need any help with English (correct me if I'm wrong) but I've just started learning and I would really love the chance to chat with people so that I can actually get some practical practice in. The only languages I can competently write in are English and French.

    Thanks for reading
