I am a teacher on italki and have just spent a year living in France. I'm now moving to Barcelona! My interests include philosophy, meditation, animal rights and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu. I am curious about effective, time-saving methods for learning new skills, and this would include language learning too.

Muy bien hecho, Roger. Practicar la pronunciación también es muy importante para tener una comunicación clara y efectiva. Si lees más, tendrás más habilidad y lo harás todo mucho mejor. ¡No hay que olvidarlo! :)

Roger is a very curious and funny person :) He is dedicated and makes an effort not to speak his own language, which is admirable when you are learning another language.

Ça m'a fait vraiment très plaisir de te revoir après tout ce temps, Roger. J'ai été content de pouvoir constater que tu avais continué de pratiquer ton français ! On a surtout travaillé sur le conditionnel aujourd'hui, comme tu le souhaitais, notamment par le biais des phrases conditionnelles. Je pense qu'on a eu une leçon plutôt productive, et que tu as globalement bien compris les règles, usages et structures. Merci et bravo pour tous tes efforts ! Je te souhaite un bon weekend, et à la prochaine ;-)

Cette leçon a été l'occasion pour nous de poursuivre notre discussion passionnante sur la conscience et ses problématiques. Bravo Roger ! Je suis impressionné par la qualité de ton français malgré la complexité des sujets abordés. La prochaine fois, on travaillera sur le subjonctif comme tu l'as souhaité. Continue comme ça, ne lâche rien, tu te débrouilles super bien. Je te souhaite une excellente semaine, et à la prochaine ! ;-)

    Most of the time, I prefer music that is light and soft. When I am in a bad mood, this kind of music always comforts me and brings me to/into another world. Sometimes I need different types of music to meet certain needs. For example, I will be more likely to choose a pop song with strong beats to inspire and motivate me while exercising.

    Suspiria

    I watched Suspiria, which is a remake one.
    This film is not my usual taste I usually watch, but I was curious.

    It was beyond description /words.
    I was confused and freaked out.
    The music was composed by Thom York’s. It was great and scary.
    I think I’ll be dreaming about this film😰 .


    [Oh wow! The film sounds intense - I may check it out.

    Remember to use a verb in each sentence. E.g. 'The music was composed by...']

    The effect of robots that taking the place of human beings in the workforce, industry as well as people's daily lives.

    There are some great changes that result in society when more and more robots take the place of human beings in industries, as well as people's daily lives.
    Some feel are fantastic, The others may feel be bad. Every scientific technology will be an double-edged sword. As for individuals, more convenience and the for lower price of goods can be good for them. But However, for some individuals working in some industries, it will be a disaster for them when they happen to lose their jobs due to the application introduction of robots in their industry. As for each country, once she sizes seizes upon the chance of using robots, the possibility of her prosperity will enlarge and the felicity of her people will increase [this sentence makes sense but is worded in an odd way]Vice versa (this is not the correct use of this expression) On the other hand, but in every country, there is faces the possibility of unrest because of the mass unemployment.
    Once upon a time for Back in the day, we had similar thoughts concerning electricity, nowadays for the it's robots. We all are fraught with anxiety because of the unknown.


    [You're totally right! There is a big dilemma here.

    Instead of using the word 'robots' consider also using 'automation' or 'AI' = Artifical Intelligence.]

    Alcohol in Mongolia

    The first day of each month it is forbidden to sell alcohol because it is believed that at least one day should be sober.
    In addition, alcohol has an extra tax of 1% in order to demotivating discourage people from buying it its selling, even so, it is still really cheap.
    A 500cc can of beer, in 2018, costs an average of 0,7  $0.70 USD and one 2 litre bottle of 2 litres only costs $2.30 USD. 
    The best thing is the quality is still good even in with the cheapest alcohol most economical one and , unlike in Chile.  Buying beer in glass bottles is cheaper than cans.


    Good writing! Remember that in English we use a decimal point [ . ] instead of a comma [ , ] to denote fractions of a number. E.g. 0.5 = 1/2  (not 0,5)

    La probleme avec le mot <méditation> C'est évident pour moi que le mot 'médiatation' n'est pas le plus utile. Son étendue est trop large mais aussi fin d'etre informatif lorsque quelqu'un le utilise sans contexte. Toutefois, l'introduction des mots comme 'pleine coscience' nous aide pour distinguer un sens plus précis. Une définition donnée par Wikipedia décrit le sens général soutien de la plupart des types de méditation comme suite : "Méditation est une pratique dans laquel un individu entraine l'esprit ou provoque un mode de conscience ; soit pour réaliser un bénéfice, soit pour l'espirt à reconnaitre ses contenus sans identification avec ces contenus, ou comme une fin en soi." C'est une bonne définition mais peut-etre qu'il inclut trop dans certains cas, et dans des autres pas assez. Compte-t-il course à pied ? Compte-t-il pas les pratiques d'absorption (Jhanas) ? Le mot méditation functionne un peu comme les mots 'sports' ou 'drogues'. Dire que quelqu'un a pris une drogue sans declaré lequelle, vous informe presque rien sur le type d'expérience qu'il a. C'est applicable quand il s'agit de jouer un sport. Ils peuvent faire d'escrime, ou babyfoot, ou un sport de combat, ou le golf. Tout sont des acitivités complement différentes, mais tout sont désignés par le terme génerique du 'sport'. Les pratiques de concentration (Samatha) sont pas pareilles comme les pratiques qui renforcent la métacognition (Vipassana) - ainis que les bouddhistes enseignent - ou les pratiques de la visualisation, ou contemplation profonde - comme le type de médiation qui etait épousé par les stoïques. Quand quelqu'un dit qu'il/elle médiate, c'est pas evident ce qu'on fait ou veut dire par ca.

    My Co-worker

    When I was about to step out of the gate, my co-worker called my name. I stopped as he was approaching me. He asked why I quitted my job, then I told him "I didn't know when I can make a deal on earth*". He told me :  "If you don't feel right for this sales job, maybe you can find another sales job, because not all sales are the same sales and sales are different. Go and find another internship. Don't be frustrated.'' I thought he was really kind..

    *This doesn't fit. I'm not sure what you mean here. - Maybe say "I didn't know how to make a sale."
