Day 4: Cake Fail
Yesterday was my aunt's birthday and we celebrated it here (it's better if you don't say here since the person reading this isn't where here is) at my granny's house. We all had dinner together and then she my aunt (she is a little unclear) left for her home (went home is better) with her husband and stepson. She doesn't like cakes, so we didn't get one for her. However, her students' parents - she's a teacher - got gave her one to at the school and she brought it here. My siblings and I didn't know this, so when we found a the (since its a specific cake) cake in the kitchen we were happily surprised and asked for permission to eat it. My Our mama (unless your siblings have a different mother from you) allowed us (said yes is used more often) and we were craving so bad for (This is a bit weird to me. You could say we wanted to eat the cake so badly or we were longing to eat) the cake, although even though it was covered with fondant and we are not particularly fond of into that type of cake. (Not particularly into is a good phrase but doesn't work well in writing. To me it's used more when speaking.) We finally cut it and... We discovered that it was made of by styrofoam. The students' parents had brought it to take birthday pictures with of her with the children. and My aunt had just forgotten to tell us.Good job on this cute/funny story, styrofoam cake is so disappointing!

Because of these those foreign colleagues living in Germany I felt the urge to learn Spanish, so that I would be able to communicate with then on in their native tongue as since this really matters when one wants to get connected with people . So, here I am on italki, striving to learn Spanish.
Although it's quite close to my native mothern language I sometimes find myself mixing things up between both of (<-not wrong, just not needed) them or and even with English, believe it or not.

I do love learning languages / I understand how powerful it is to be able to communicate with people on their native tongue or at least on a common foreign language/ English happens to be to the majority of bilingual people all over the world
For a complex sentence do this:I do love learning languages; it is so powerful to be able to communicate with people in their native tongue or at least in a common foreign language, such as English, which happens to be a common foreign language to the majority of bilingual people all over the world.
Else, smaller sentences will work fine.I do love learning languages. I understand how powerful it is to be able to communicate with people in their native tongue or at least in a common foreign language. English, for example, happens to be a common language to the majority of bilingual people all over the world.
0 votedJuly 20, 20181English is my first learnt foreign language. I believe learnt is correct, but its not really that usual, at least for me. I would probably say "English was my first foreign language"
I've started studying English when I was thirteen and I didn't haven't stop doing so until now, on in my early thirties.
I do love learning languages and I understand how powerful it is to be able to communicate with people in on their native tongue or at least in on a common foreign language such as English, which happens to be a common foreign language to be to the majority marjority of bilingual people all over the world.

Hi everybody! I have been learning English for during 3 years in the school, but now that I am in the university (either say - I am in college - or- I'm a university student*) and I can´t practice it because my career is not related with this language and I don't have friends that want to speak in English. So, the only ways I have found to practice is are by watching videos, listening to music, talking alone and thinking in English. because** I don't want to forget what I have already learned; what I want is no learn more and more and improve my English.* This is a weird thing, but words that start with the "you" sound get an A as the article, instead of an AN like for the vowel sounds. The article is determined by the sound more than the spelling in this case.
**It's better not to start a sentence with "Because" unless its in response to the question "Why". This isn't always true, but your writing will be better if you try and avoid it.
Keep it up! Your doing great!

I started my course in English again. I want to improve and to have gain a new level, I don't want to be an intermediate English speaker anymore.
In my first class, we were talking about simple past and present perfect. I don't like grammar, but it helps is necessary in order to speak properly.
I also need to use more words to express the my ideas, or maybe, like everybody says, think in English. It's a great challenge, a big challenge. (You could say also It's very challenging for me.)0 votedJuly 20, 20181First, you must begin by selecting an approprate appropriate model. This model must summarize the relationship between response variable (either the response variable if there is only one variable, or, variables if there are more than one) and explanatories explanatory (predictor) variables. (Input and output variables also may be correct.)
Examples of models are first order model and second order model. (Two examples of model types are first order and second order models.)
We use first order model (a first order model -or- first order models) when we consider that the relationship is (will be/can be/ is best/is going to be....it depends on what you intend.) summarized by a flat plane. (no idea what this is but its grammatically fine. Is it the same as a linear plane like in a line graph?)
We use second order model (a second order model -or- second order models) when we consider that the relationship is (same as above) summarized by a surface with curvature.
Also, the selected model must have an appropriate appropiate number of parameters.
If it has too few parameters, then it may not capture all the features.
If it has too many parameters paramenter, then it may reduce the precision.
There are two common objectives when we are (since you are speaking generally you can leave these words out if you like) looking for an appropriate appropiate design desing:
• To be able to estimate estime the parameter of the model.
• To predict the response on any location in the design space. (I grammar seems fine, but I don't know enough about engineering to know if anything needs to be fixes.)
Second, we need to assess the quality of model precision.
We asses the quality of precision by D-optimality and A-optimality. (Spellcheck says these were wrong, but wikipedia says they are correct)
D-optimality corresponds to finding small variances for (I think "in" is what you mean, but it could be a different use in engineering) model parameters without collecting any data.-------------------------
Overall it seems like you are doing great. Download a spell-check for English and that will help. Most people wont be able to help with technical writing. I really can't either without lots of help from Wikipedia. Scientific writing is can really like another language! I hope this is helpful!

Necesito dormir durante las horas normales. Comenzaré un trabajo nuevo el lunes. No puedo estar cansada ni llegar tarde. Cuando no duermo en la noche, a menudo suelo dormir demasiado por la mañana.July 18, 201891
