Hey everyone! I studied Chinese for several years, from high school through college, and have been all over China, three times! I can't get enough. But I left my Chinese alone too long, and will need to start brushing up, and get more practice so all my efforts weren't wasted. 大家好！我在高中开始学中文，然后打大学毕业继续学习的。特别喜欢中国，三次去过。但我知道应该天天练习，不过我最近太懒了。我最喜欢的是做朋友，你别看不起我说的汉语，我也不会批评你的英语吧 ：） But I also want to learn Spanish. There's a whole world at my doorstep that I've been avoiding because I don't speak the language, and it's time to get over that! I'm a real beginner, but I've been consistently practicing on Duolingo, using flashcards, trying to get the basics down. Soon I'll be ready for more lessons and conversation-based learning.

    What's wrong with online teachers? I think one-on-one tutoring is great. If you can find an English-speaking teacher you like, you can get a book, or a web-based book, and both use it to construct lessons. That way, you know what to prepare, and you can spend a lot of time practicing with the language teacher.

    Yes, "commit a crime," and "commit a felony" are correct.

    Spaced repetition flashcards that you make yourself (as in real paper, not on a app). Then trying to form as many sentences as you can with the words. Then, watching TV so you can hear the words being used over and over.

    maybe it's the "much in the way of" part that's confusing? it's not a very common thing to say, but you could just as easily say "much." I also think the sentence probably is not "agricultural," rather is "agriculture" because the first is an adjective which doesn't have anything that it is describing. So the sentence just means, "They didn't have very much agriculture." or "There wasn't very much farming."

    1) I think all those sound correct to me, but the 2nd and 3rd sound fluid. Really I think any are good though. 2) Go with “A Germany World Cup soccer game” good luck!

    my film

    When i was young i  (I) saw films with my family .  We liked Western Films (films). In the afternoon we usually watch tv  (TV) en (in the) living romm (room) with my granmother (grandmother).

    I remember a day when we watched the film "El Bueno, el Feo y el Malo- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" . The main actor was Clint EastWood. (Eastwood)

    He was my Hero (hero). When it finished i put my hate (did you mean, "got angry"?) and toke (took) my rifle and go (went)out. I ran to (the) bank near my house to s(t)eal it.


    Capital letters are usually for proper nouns, like names, and also abbreviations (TV). Your grammar is very good! That last sentence was a surprise twist!

    It means you did something to make her do it. Usually it means you asked them to, but it doesn't matter how. I can get someone to do my work for me by tricking them. I can get someone to help me (there's no bad meaning here). I will get my assistant to work on it. Or I'll have my assistant work on it. Can I get some help here? --Very informal, in some contexts a little bit impatient way of speaking Is there any way I can get you to go with me? --asking how you can convince someone to go.

    The first is completely correct. The second case should be [WOULD HAVE EXPECTED] because something changed in the past, so the expectation you have now has changed as a result. Still, I think anyone would understand you if you used what you wrote. I'm trying to think of the exact reason that the two cases are different. I think because (1) is a hypothetical and nothing has changed, but (2) causes a change which makes you need to explain how your expectation was changed by the past. If you're trying to learn these differences, your English must be great already!

    Is it a good idea to offer school kids money for each high grade?

    I don't think it is a good idea for parents to offer their school-age children money for each high grade. The following are my reasons.

    First of all, I believe that the most important thing parents should teach their children is being responsible for themselves. In other words, children should study hard to get high scores because they are responsible for their job as students not because their parents offer them money to perform ((great --> well)). For example, I *when I was a child, I always remembered that* my parents told me I studied for *myself,* not for them. I learned to be responsible for myself. Moreover, I am benefited from this good *habit* at work.

    In addition, self-motivation is also an important thing that each child should learn. If parents offer money to motivate their children, they actually take away their children's opportunities to learn how to motivate themselves. In the long term, it will do more harm than good to their children. Take one of my *friends* as an example. His parents used to offer money for high scores he got in school, and when his parents stopped offering money, he *lost* the motivation to do well in school.

    That's why I think offering children money for each high grade is a bad idea and parents should not do this.


    -really fantastic job! you sound very natural
