¿Qué opinan de que a los estadounidenses se les llame erróneamente americanos? Exclusivamente, como si fueran los únicos que vivieran en america. Incluso el gentilicio norteamericano se usa exclusivamente para ellos. En mi país, les dicen americanos (yo no), y también de ves en cuando norteamericanos. Es ridículo que los mejicanos a veces les dicen norteamericanos, siendo que ellos también lo son. Pero dudo que haya una nacionalidad que se salve de este error que me hace pensar que nadie sabe de geografía y que estamos demasiado influenciados por los estadounidenses. ¿Será sólo la hegemonía o la extrema mala costumbre? Y no ayuda que en el diccionario de la RAE estas palabras tengan la misma definición que Estadounidense.

Difference Between Being Hispanic, Latin American(Latino) and Spanish: -Hispanic: They are from Spanish speaking countries, such as Spain or former Spanish colonies. -Latino: Abbreviation for "Latinoamericano" (Latin American), from Latin America. These are countries in the Americas, which used to be Spanish, French and Portuguese colonies, and now they speak these three languages. -Spanish: From Spain; a Spaniard. Basically, don't call every single Spanish speaker Spanish. Just because a person speaks Spanish, doesn't mean they are Spanish. it's the same way, someone who speaks English isn't always English. I watched a video about ''does not knowing Spanish makes you less Latino''; well, ask that questions to the Portuguese and French speaking Latinos. Another issue I want to mention is that these terms only acknowledge our European heritage/influence and not the African, indigenous, or any other. I've heard people say otherwise. Thank you for reading, and please correct me if I made any mistakes.

Imparando l'italiano Io imparo italiano da tre settimane. sto imparando questa lingua perché è bella e molto simila alla mia lingua madre, lo spagnolo. Per questa somiglianza, l'italiano è normalmente facile da capire, ma non riesco parlarlo molto bene. Ascoltare e parlare una lingua sono cose molto diverse, peró io sto cercando di migliorare il mio parlato È divertente imparare questa lingua perchè è come ascoltare un strano dialetto dello spagnolo (io so che non è un dialetto); Tuttavia, io sempre incontro falsi amici come le parole ``sentire´´ e ``guardare´´, che sono molto simili ad alcune parole in spagnolo, ma i loro significati sono completamente diversi. Grazie per leggere questo appunto, e per favore correggi la mia grammatica.

Learning Three Languages I've been meaning to learn a new language for the longest time. Choosing is hard because there are too many beautiful languages out there, and one can't learn them all. After a lot of thinking, I decided on Italian and Slovak. I'm choosing Italian because it's a romance language (like my native language, Spanish), and I want to know more about this family of languages. Slovak is my other choice because my best online friend is Slovakian, and it would be great to talk to her in her native language. I'm still learning English (I've been learning it for about three years), and that's why I said ``three languages´´ in the title. I wanted to perfect my English before moving on to a new language, but I felt like it would never be good enough. And, here I am, starting to learn two new languages, and perfecting one. Italian is easy because it's so similar to Spanish, I can already understand the language, although I'm only three weeks in. Slovak, on the other hand, is very hard, because everything about it feels so alien to me. However, I like it: it's challenging, it's different, and there's a nice rhythm to it, that feels nice in my mouth (if you hear it you might disagree with me). Also, I would like to add that, unlike English, I only want to have a conversational level in these two languages, so I won't try to learn them in depth, like I did with English. To wrap it up, thank you for reading, and I would really appreciate your feedback on my writing skills.

what does shaft mean? is it common? and if it is, how do, how can I use it?

keeping Promises I used to be very careful with what I told people I would do, because I think that our word is a big deal. I've seen many people saying they will do something, but in the end of the day, they just backed down without much of a reason. How can you trust people like that, especially when you really need them to be responsible? I didn't want to be like that, so I made sure I always kept my promises and not make promises I couldn't keep. However, lately I've been losing myself. For example, I promised a friend I would draw her, which I haven't done and I told other friend that I would go to the gym with him, but I didn't do it. I want my word to be worth something, and I'll work towards doing so. Thanks for reading and please correct me if I made a mistake.

Sometimes Things aren't as Good as We Remember Nostalgia, I think most of us has experienced it at least once. There are memories that just stick with us forever. However, sometimes those memories aren't what we remember, because people's memories fail, people change over time and what you remember being amazing might just be an incomplete, blurry and biased interpretation of the past. Not long ago, I watched several series that I loved as a kid, just to realize that they aren't really good, and they are hard to watch without cringing. Despite that, nowadays, I still hear people praise them for their quality. I wonder if they have watched those series recently, or if they watch sometimes different. This, of course, can be extrapolated to many others situations (and more important situations), but I want to keep this entry short, so I simply wrote the first example that came to my mind. Thanks for reading and please correct me if I made a mistake.
