Hello! I am a native English speaker born and raised in the US, and am looking to practice my Bosnian language conversation skills. I would of course be more than happy to help you improve your English or Spanish in return. Zdravo! Ja sam Amerikanac koji govori engleski kao maternji jezik, i želim vjezbati govoriti na bosanskom jeziku. Naravno, mogu vam pomoći da poboljšate svoj engleski ili španski za uzvrat.

    Wanna learn proper English

    My motivation for learning English is to build an academic career. It is very difficult to tell the proper way of writing, especially when writing formally (You could also say "in formal settings" instead).

    Well, you're on the right track! This is very well said!

    My friends

    I think a good friend is like a mirror. I like friends who are the same as me so that we can do the same things together, such as reading books, doing homework and so on. A good friend will truly care<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">s</s> about me. I like friends that<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">’s</s> are always friendly and on my side.
    My best friend is good to me. She’s taller than everyone I know and likes to be with me. She’s good at sports, so she always helps me with sports. I’m better in sports now. We both like to study and she works as hard as me. We often have <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the </s>similar grades.
    I hope that our friendship will last forever.

    when I moved to a city

    Three years later, I moved to a city with my parents. It smelled strange. However, I couldn’t <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">speak it out</s> (Not sure what you are trying to say... maybe a good substitution is "put my finger on it"). Pedestrians were zigzagging through the <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">human </s>traffic on the sidewalk, jostling others. A high-heeled young lady ignored my big smile, wedging herself into the elevator. Residents were living in a “bird cage” where you had no idea who was your neighbor or friend. People were more like ghosts lingering on the street in the morning and like snails in the evening. Almost everyone seemed to be on a floating island; they wanted to yell but their voices were fading away in the air. Everyone is an inaccessible island in a more connected cyberspace (Again not sure what you mean by this, it's not carrying the meaning you might have intended. Maybe try something like "Everyone seemed to be on a remote island despite being part of a seemingly well connected cyberspace"). I was lost.

    Poland: I want to visit

    My cousin will marry in September 2020 in Dresden, Germany.
    I'm preparing to be there on this special day for him.
    I want to enjoy visiting other countries near Germany, especially Poland.
    I was always interested in World War II history, especially Nazism. I believe if we don't know our history - not just the history of our own country, but also our shared history as humanity - we can repeat<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">ing</s> it.
    I have read many books about Nazism, and the<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">se</s> <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">hi</s>stories told in the books have always disturbed me. How can humanity do this to itself? Because it wasn't the Germans who did do it ... it was all humanity ... all men.
    For that, I feel that I need to know more and more about that sad history. I want to look with my own eyes upon Auschiwtz. I want to walk on the streets of Krakow and Warsaw.
    We need to reflect a lot on the past, especially in these times, when we, as citizens, are electing authoritarian ruling governments around the world.
    What will be the consequence of these choices in the long run?

    Just want to try teaching Russian. I need "about me" text.

    Hi there, I'm Alisa! I live in Moscow and I really love this city and Russia in general. I enjoy living here and speaking Russian. This language is beautiful! Very difficult, though. I have good grammar, practical teaching skills and a very high level of motivation!
    I can speak <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">more or less well </s>English and German relatively well, and also a little bit Greek and Hungarian.

    Good luck with your teaching! :)

    Laughter

    I am writing to you to expound upon a suggestion that could improve the stay of <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the </s>patients in our hospital. Surfing the Internet, I found <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">an </s>information about the <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">convenience</s> importance of laughter and, more specifically, the benefits of <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">acting of</s> clowns performing in front of sick people.

    <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">In the first place</s> Firstly, laughter<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">, as you know,</s> enhances mood and this <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">involves</s> creates a series of benefits: decreased stress hormone<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">s</s> levels, increased immunity, <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">it is good for the</s> better cholesterol levels, lowered blood pressure, and decreased hunger hormones.
    <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">In the second place</s> Secondly, without a doubt, it will serve to humanize our facilities.
    Finally, I hope my proposal will be taken into consideration.

    Well done! Quick thoughts:
    <ul><li>Convenience might be a false cognate from Spanish -- it cannot be translated into something which is "appropriate" or "correct", only something which is easy to do. </li><li>"In the first place and and in the second place are not technically wrong, but used incorrectly here. As more of a general note, it is better to avoid these words if you want to sound more professional. You can omit "firstly" for the first sentence, and then just say another word to begin the second sentence (something like "Moreover," or "Furthermore,". </li><li>You cannot put a phrase like "it is good for the cholesterol" in a list where all other items are nouns. </li></ul>

    Grammar

    Hi, there

    Which of THESE is right?
    “President Wilson did not obtain US Senate approval to enter the League of Nations.” or “President Wilson did not obtain the US Senate’s approval to enter the League of Nations.”?

    Thank you

    Luckily enough, both are right! The only difference is a slight difference in tone. The first sentence is more formal and the second is more informal. This is because the second sentence does more to "anthropomorphize" (make something which is not human sounds like it is human) the US Senate by giving it the possessive "___'s".
