Hey everyone, I'm new to this site and I'm trying to make friends that can help me improve my foreign language skills. I study languages simply because I love doing it, and I love being able to talk to people from different parts of the world. I spent a year living in Argentina when I was a teenager, but unfortunately I haven't done much other travelling. That's why I need conversational practice - books just aren't as good as speaking with another person. Also, feel free to chat with me even if you don't speak one of the languages I'm trying to learn. I'll help anybody with their English. Hola hispanohablantes, recién me registré en este sitio y estoy buscando amigos que me puedan ayudar con mi castellano. Pasé un año en Argentina cuando tenía dieciseis, así que hablo bastante bien, pero lejos de perfecto. El lenguaje cotidiano es lo que más me interesa, como expresiones idiomáticas, por ejemplo, pero de verdad lo más importante es aprender de la gente en lugar de un libro por una vez, y me encantaría charlar sobre lo que sea . Es por eso que estamos acá, no? Bueno, saludos a todos, mandenme un mensaje si se les canta. Salut tout le monde. Je suis ici parce qu’il faut que je trouve un ami qui puisse m’aider avec mon français. J’étudie le français depuis presque dix ans et je dirais que je le comprends assez bien, mais voilà le problème: je le parle jamais. J’ai l’habitude de lire au moins une chose en français tous les jours, alors je lis beaucoup mieux que je parle, mais je crois qu’il est grand temps que je pratique la conversation. Je peux vous aider à améliorer votre anglais ou espangol, tant que vous avez de la patience avec mes erreurs en français. :) Oi todos, eu não posso falar muito bem português para nada, mas tenho vontade de aprender. Falo espanhol bastante bem e as duas línguas são parecidas, então eu poderia provavelmente aprender relativamente rápido, mas preciso da sua ajuda. Se você quer aprender inglês, estou ao seu serviço. Queria dizer um pouco mais neste parágrafo, mas por agora não posso. :)

    Supongo que depende del contexto. Te doy algunos ejemplos, a ver si te ayudan: Spiders freak me out (algo que te espanta o te pone incomodo)/ gross me out (te dan asco)/ give me the creeps (escalofrios). En Estados Unidos tambien decimos "to weird out." Ej. : That dude put his hand on my thigh and it really weirded me out. I saw my ex-girlfriend last night and got really weirded out. Significa que algo te provoca una sensacion de "no se que", o te pone incomodo. Espero que te ayude :)

    a letter

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    My name is Kevin Stone, a friend of Jack Pullman who is applying for a job at the hotel.

    Jack was a friend of my brother. The first time we met each other was at a football game. Afterwards, we played football together often and he became a very good friend of mine as well.

    Jack Pullman worked as a manager of Summer Palace for almost three years and later worked for the Four Seasons Hotel, one of the best hotels in Newcastle. Unfortunately, his mother fell ill last year, and as a result he resigned and took a few months to look after her.

    Jack is one of the most reliable people I've ever met.  He is a competent manager with patience and a sense of responsibility, as well as the extensive experience that a hotel needs. In short, I think that Jack Pullman is the right choice for the hotel, one that would not be regretted.

    Yours sincerely,

    Kevin Stone

    Pregunta sobre el uso del artículo definitivo con respecto a los paises Estaba tomando un examen de español sobre el internet y cuando tuve que traducir la frase 'Many people smoke in Lebanon' puse 'Mucha gente fuma en Líbano,' y decía que la respuesta correcta era 'Mucha gente fuma en el Líbano.' Sé que a veces los articulos se usan y otras veces no, pero quería saber si había una regla fija en cuanto a todo esto. Para mí suena un poco formal decir por ejemplo 'En la Argentina...' pero soy una yanqui, yo qué sé...

    Both of them are correct and are equally common. In casual spoken speech, "have got to" is almost always shortened as in the following examples: I gotta / I've gotta go to the store. You gotta / You've gotta keep practicing. He's gotta sell his house. We gotta/ We've gotta wake up early. They gotta / They've gotta clean the house. Let me know if you have any more questions about this.

    When the speaker isn't being sarcastic, "set" sort of means having what you need, or being ready, as in "I'm all set to go on my hiking trip", or "These boxes are all set for shipping." But in this context the girl is being ironic - she's saying that she has no need for the present, but from the angry way she says it, it is clear that what she really means is that she doesn't want the present because it's cheap. Does that make sense?
