Were you familiar with Red Velvet?

I've seen Red Velvet cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and macarons this year. This is the first time I've ever noticed them at stores, but they say it's traditional. I researched a little, and it says it's made of cocoa and vinegar and the red color (sounds more natural) is the result of a chemical reaction. How interesting! This year they were sold at like, every sweets bakery and supermarket. Is it just me that didn't notice them before? I live in California, by the way.

I live in California too! The slang you use is very reminiscent of Cali. I've definitely seen a lot of red velvet sweets around, so I think you may just not have noticed them.

My Journal Entry

The new year is just around the corner. Various things happened this year. There were both pleasant situations and unpleasant ones, but I think this year was lovely as a whole. Luckily, I met some awesome people who get increased my motivation for learning English even more. It was valuable for me to share dozens of interesting and funny topics with them—most of which (this has better conversational flow) are in almost the same boat as me. All the best for 2019.

Neighbors, part 1

My family and I live in a high-rise building.
As a rule, apartments in all modern buildings have thin walls that allow listening in to everything around.
So, I can listen to all my neighbors and they can listen to me too.
If I decided to watch TV or enjoy music a bit too loudly, they certainly will listen to it.
Living in such houses you will normalize frequent noises. But I would like to know what you are interested in.

These addictions further deteriorate their health.

I need practice

I'm I've been learning English for a long time.

But I've always failed to keep continue learning English.

I'm actually good at reading but bad at listening and writing.

I watched a youtube video and they recommend me to practice speaking with an article and to record my pronouncing pronunciation and writing too.

That sounds awkward but I'll just try for it.

Do you have any advice with for this?

thatnks Thanks.     

Hi! I would recommend reading the same copy of a book in two separate languages; one in your native tongue and one in English. That way, if there's something you don't understand in English, you can reference the copy which is in your native language.
