    My english course

    I have been studying English by myself for some years now. But last month, I enrolled myself in an English course for the municipality (not sure what this means?). I don't pay. The teacher is a good one and has a master degree, but I realized that he often fails in some things.  like: For example, he sometimes doesn't know the proper meaning of an idiom in English, or they he will translate a Portuguese expression literally into to English literally, and the expression has no meaning in English. A part from these particularities, he is in fact a good teacher, because he has is a good didact, and knows how to entertain the students. Now I've joined this platform in order to practice my writing skills.


    Notes: The word 'didact' is extremely rarely used in English. This word has not been in regular use in English since before the 1950's. You can still use it, but I recommend saying "he is in fact a  good teacher, because he enjoys teaching others..." or "he is in fact a good teacher, because he is instructs us very well...", instead, etc.

    Language exchange partner. (Please help me correct this.)

    Yesterday, I had a chat with my language exchange partner. He is an ABC in Sydney. He answered some questions that I asked about Australia. After he answered, I found that I had so many misunderstandings for about Australia. Now I am better able to understand Australian culture in higher depth. I think he helped me more than I did for him. I am so appreciated very thankful for him. (Or "I really appreciated him.") In addition, we both like Japanese animations. We have a lot of common interests, which can help us understand each other more easily. He also taught me how to improve my pronunciation. Hopefully, I will have a make progress soon.

    Today's Sunday.

    I love Sunday. I didn't really like Sunday a few years ago when I was between jobs. At least on the weekdays you can stick to patterns a routine how as you go through your week, but on Sunday, it was really boring and I didn't know what to do. But now that I am settling down at my work, I totally love it. (Sentences have to start with capital letters.) First of all, there is one student who wants to define every the meaning of every sentences. For instance, if someone says "do make your own time ", why are there 2 verbs and there is no subject? etc. Ah, this is really annoying. Of course, I know it's my role to play as a teacher to encourage them to study and feel that English is not rocket sicence science. But he just wants to look up everything in a dictionary... I don't know what to do...


    This was a very good effort! The only major grammar error was this; "there is one student who wants to define every meaning of sentences". amm You can say "He wants to define every sentence,", "He wants to define the meaning of sentences," or "He wants to define the meaning of every sentence." The reason the original sentence doesn't make sense is because the noun following the word "every" is usually singular. For example, "every dog", "every man" or "every person". We can't say "every dogs" or "every men". I hope this helps!

    My experience of practicing English with other people.

    Finding nice people to practice with is very hard sometimes. I've used several apps and wedbsites in order to practice my English with native speakers, and I've even practiced with several learners like me. Usually I can practice really well with people who is are learners like me, maybe because we share the same goal. But native speakers, on the other hand, are another story. 

    To be honest, I haven't met many nice native speakers and I haven't met many non-native speakers who are as dedicated as me. I'm not sure why. Normally, the people with whom I like to practice my English are not  true native speakers. For instance; I met a very nice slovak Slavic girl, a cool Mexican woman who lives in the USA. (We just talk for fun because, curiously, she's not learning Spanish. She's learning Portuguese.) I also know an Egyptian girl, a half polish guy who also lives in the USA, and a girl who is half Jamaican and half Cuban.

    Something that bothers me a lot is that I'm usually the one who messages first on those apps and wedbsites I've used.  This is stupid because my female friends say that many people message them first all the time. (That's unfair.) and Oh my god, what a bad luck I have. Haha! Like I said before, I've met several nice natives speakers as well, but I wish they had been as dedicated as me. I've met many people who just faded out or stopped replying to my messages, which is really annoying. At least I've learned many things throughout this madness, so I'm sort of happy about that. I thank all those nice people I've met. :)

    Please correct any mistakes, I'll be grateful. :)

    电视节目不是现实生活. 我最喜欢的中国电视节目是微微一笑很倾城. 我觉得杨洋太帅了!我也想这个北京的节目非常有趣. 在微微一笑很倾城中, 演员出去的时候, 他们总是 唯一的人在公园或餐厅... 他们在街上骑自行车的时候, 非常浪漫因为没有其他人. 街上的人很少。好像是住在大学的宿舍里只有微微和她的朋友. 但这不是北京吗? 为什么北京没有人? 如果我不知道更好,就我认为北京是一个非常空虚的城市... 我猜电视节目不是现实生活. (但我仍然非常喜欢这个节目!)
