I am here to practice my English and to help out those who are learning Mandarin. Nice to meet you! Also, I have a 7 year old daughter who is looking for conversation partners. Amy has been learning English since Dec. 2018 and she is in a phase of experimenting with this language. Generally she can get her ideas across using limited grammar and expressions. If you are interested in setting your kids up with Amy just to see how things go, feel free to drop me a message!! :) Here is an audio sample in which she is having a conversation with a friend: https://tinyurl.com/yxjk4wlo

    Before the evaluations can begin, you must complete a self-assessment of your performance by June 13. Doing this prior to the discussion ____ better results in the last evaluation. All performance evaluations need to be completed by July 1. A. produced B. to produce C. produces D. will produce *A member in some Facebook group raised the question above and couldn't understand why the correct answer was stated as 'A'. I believe the answer is obviously 'D' because the overall message is asking the recipient to comply with some requirements before July 1, assuming it to be sometime in the future. Someone else pointed out that the tricky part in the question lies in "in the last evaluation", arguing companies usually have quarterly or semiannual evaluations, and the “last evaluation” must have already occured in the past. Therefore, this justifies the use of the past tense, making the correct answer 'A'. Which answer is correct and why?

    "thuh ocean" or "thee ocean" or both? I know the article "the" in the phrase "the ice cream cone" sounds like "thee." But how about the article in the phrase "the ocean"? Is it also pronounced as "thee"? My 6-year old daughter is a big fan of Dora the Explorer. She corrected my English today referring to one episode of Dora the Explorer. I thought she was mistaken so I asked her to show me where in the video she had heard it. It turned out that she was right. In the episode Dora says repeatedly "thuh ocean" instead of "thee ocean." Here are my questions: Is this an exception where the quick rule of thumb "AEIOU" does not apply? If so, is it also common for people to say "thee ocean"? Thanks!

    I hope the decision makers would finally sit down, use the site to learn a language, think of how to improve it while being active participants of italki because only then they will know what makes italki great, what users really need, and will make sure the site will not do stupid things to cause itself to lose its magic and luster.

    Sometimes we just have to accept that certain new ideas just don't fly. So don't risk it.

    I actually happen to have read something online today and thought it is somehow relevent.

    One bad thing about my country is that the people seem to in general lack the ability to calmly communicate with one another on issues that matter. YES, I am talking about even the highly educated people. They tend to get emotional very quickly and blame and insult others who hold different views very easily. The worst example can be found in our parliaments (called “legislative yuan”). A friend told me they got this savage behavior from the UK, but I am not so sure about that.
    One good thing about my country has also to do with crime and safety. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say when you go out at night, you normally would not be worried for your safety even if you are women or children. It is sad to hear in some countries there are neighborhoods you don’t want to visit even during the day and cops there are even worried for their own safety every day when they are out on duty. In my country, it is illegal for civilians to own and bear guns. Maybe our low crime rate has something to do with this, I wonder?

    Can the management of italki be more out of touch with the wishes of the majority of its members? I used to feel a sense of belonging and thought italki was OUR community, now it dawns on me so strongly that the site is, afterall, THEIR property, and it is their decision to make as what to do with it.
    What a sad realization.
    Enjoy while the party lasts guys!
