Hello! I'm a native English speaker looking for German (primarily) and French language exchange partners! I'm a student at New York University, studying English Literature and Public Policy. I speak some conversational Mandarin. I have a German fiancé and am very excited to one day move to him and settle there! I love travelling, learning new languages and cultures, hiking, playing the piano, and my cats. Females only please :)

Thank you, Iris! Vielen Dank! We practiced relative and reflexive pronouns today as well as sentences with um....zu plus infinitive and adverbs. Iris has a good understanding of these concepts and will practice them during the next two weeks. Gute Arbeit! :)

Despite great pressure from mid-terms and papers, Iris was just as eager and motivated to continue learning about the German language as before. Not everyone can do that! Bravo, Iris :)

It's a pleasure working with Iris. She's hardworking and learns quickly. The flashcard system seems to work well for her. Mach weiter so :)

Iris had done quite a bit of homework and presented it to me one day before moving to a different state. I admire her commitment and motivation for the German language. I can see her progress moving forward rapidly! Bravo! :)

    Daher, darum, deshalb, deswegen Hallo! Mein Lehrbuch gibt mir die gleiche Übersetzung "therefore, for this reason" für alle diese Adverbien. Gibt es einen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen daher, darum, deshalb und deswegen? Vielen Dank!

    It means to abandon, particularly when plans were already made. I'm pretty sure it originates from how a person can "bail out" of an aircraft when they are in danger. When you bail out there, you suddenly exit to save yourself, leaving the plane and everyone else in there to crash. When someone bails on you, you are the plane, and they are abandoning you for whatever reason, leaving you on your own. A lot of times it is used when someone doesn't keep to plans that were already made. "My family and I were going to go shopping together, but my sister bailed on me. My mother also bailed on our plans."

    I grew up in California, and I love it here. I would agree with the comments about the national parks! I honestly think that Yosemite is one of the most amazing places in the world. There are many other beautiful parks with stunning waterfalls, mountains, and trails, but Yosemite has all of it in a wonderful valley, and it only takes an hour or so to bike around the base. It's like the loveliest resort which has been preserved in it's natural state. I'm biased. I also think that the mindset is very interesting. Northern Californians and Southern Californians have quite different cultures and lifestyles, but they still have that same distinct energy that made it feel at times like I was growing up in a teen movie. It also makes you a bit self centered, I think. Other states felt like other countries to me, since I can drive for 13 hours and still be in CA. Reaching another country was a 5 hour flight at the most, usually a full day trip if I wanted to get to Europe or Asia. I was mindblown by being able to drive to other countries in a few hours in Europe. I noticed that my classmates and I seemed to be a bit detached from the world at times, since California had everything we needed, was full of very exciting things, and everything else was very far away.

    correct my mistakes please

    I want to become a lawyer because it's my father's wish. Additionally, we have so many problems concerning our family. In terms of study, my father is a strict person as he thinks about studying as a basic and major right, which we get from the cradle to grave. Before that I was not interested in becoming a lawyer. For me being a lawyer is an obligation to my family as well as to me. When I become a lawyer, plenty of problems will be easily solved by me. I want to see my parents happy, because they expect more from me. They are waiting for the good times when their dreams come true. For this reason, I have to go to foreign countries like America, etc.

    A subject is like a topic; it addresses what something is about. A subject is usually a noun phrase, and it is a simple fact. Examples - The subject of the book is a girl. - The subject of the movie is dinosaurs. - The subject of my paper is American history. A theme, on the other hand, is a concept or idea that could be described as the message of something. Or a word / phrase that connects everything in a paragraph, book, movie etc together. They address deeper issues that come from the subject. Examples - The subject of Jurassic Park is dinosaurs. The theme is to not mess with nature because it will end badly for you. - The subject of my paper is a Giant Panda. The theme of my paper is about how Giant Pandas are rare due to hunting.
