Hi y'all, I just came back to italki. I'm terribly sorry for those who I couldn't reply to. Now that I have a bit more time I'm trying to work on French, and Spanish again. I'm thinking of learning one more language too.

    ¿Cuál es se música favorita en español?

    ¡Hola!

    Vi '"Tiny Desk Concert" por NPR en YouTube hay unos días. Es un programa de música. Encantaré la cantante, Natalia Lafourcade. Me gustan sus canciones como "Casa" y "Me voy de Casa".

    Je préférais face à face aussi. Pour moi, ce serait idéal parce que par fois, il y a de bruits et délai quand on parle sur l'écran. Mais, en réalité, il n'y a pas de beaucoup de gens qui parlent le français en ville ou j'habite. Donc, je compte sur l'Internet pour maintenant.

    Mois, je recommend ZAZ. Mais peut-être, vous déjà la connaissez parce que le jazz et la musique acoustique. «Le long de la route», et «Les passants» sont mes favoris. Aussi, elle fait sa version de la chanson célèbre «Aux Champs-Elysées». 

    @Alysa J'aime Oldelaf aussi. Il est drôle!

    Fortunately enough, I'm surrounded by people interested in learning different languages in my real life. And I feel like my friends and acquaintances find it normal. Like, when I told a friend of mine that I would be learning Spanish, he just gave me a grammar as a gift! We just ask each other what languages we speak or are currently working on. Maybe it's just an anthropology department thing. Yeah, I know it's a fragment of people on earth. But even the monolingual people that I know outside academia don't get suspicious about me learning a language. They're just like "Oh, wow. Good for you," or "I wish I was like you".

    Same here. I feel like lots of us are looking for natives here or speakers with a certain accent. And it's not just for English. Personally, as long as the partner knows the basic, I don't really care if they are native or not or from a certain region. What's more important to me is just if I can get along with the person and practice the target language. In the past, when I was learning English, I would talk to whoever I got along with and it helped me a lot.

    Yeah, I know some people have preferences in accent. That totally makes sense. Like Dana said, at the end of the day, you have to understand any accent. Like, here in the States, I interact with people with different accents (otherwise how could I live? I wouldn't be even able to buy food or ask for directions!) and I assume it's the case in many parts of the world.

    Also, you can kinda learn how to sound like, for example, British by watching British shows, listening to the radio and imitating them. 

    As I said, it totally makes sense to pick a certain variant to learn, especially for consistency. I do this too for prononciation, grammar and orthography, though the latter two are not really a big deal when talking. At the same time, I try to be familiar with other variants. That's why I'm working on conjugation of verbs with vosotros in Spanish as well, for example. But again I don't really care whichever accent the partner has. So it's like I'm open to any varient while learning a particular one. I see the beauty of language learning in being able to communicate with a wider range of people.

    I hope I didn't offend anyone.

    That's interesting. It might be a different thing but when I was in Japan, I was taught (by a Japanese person tho, lol) to leave a bit, when eating Chinese food to tell that the host gave enough food. Later some people said that this is not a culturally accepted manner in China or it is in some parts. I'm still confused. Anyway, maybe they're taught a similar thing here as well? My American friends just eat all tho, lol.

    Mi universidad ¡Hola! Hoy quiero hablar de mi universidad y las cosas que me gusto y no. Mi universidad se sitúa en estado de Nueva York. Pienso que es una universidad muy grande porque muchos estudiantes vienen de otros partes del estado, de estados varios y de países muy diversos. Pero, no solo es grande la población, sino también el campus es grande. Tenemos tres fuentes (dos pequeños y una muy grande) y tres bibliotecas. Las fuentes son muy caras para nada porque no operan medio año (Mucho nieva aquí). Francamente, no me gusto la arquitectura de mi universidad porque hay mucho concreto y parece muy artificial. Pero, me gusto la biblioteca simplemente porque me gusto leer. La cosa me más gusto de mi campus es la tranquilidad y belleza de la zona del muy gran estanque con los arboles (Sí es artificial también, pero aparece muy natural). No pensaba que es artificial hasta que leí el letrero cerca del estanque. Hay muchos árboles y animales como los pájaros, aves, ardillas, y "groundhogs", marmotas de America alrededor del estanque. Hay también unos pasos para peatónes, corredores, y motociclistas y un gran puente. Los árboles cambian colares; después de invierno con mucha nieve, las hojas nuevos aparecen, en verano vuelven verdes, en otoño vuelven amarillos y rojos, y finalmente en invierno se pierden en nieve. Es un lugar hermoso pero pocos caminan ahí; es perfecto porque es tranquilo. Cuando necesito refrescarme, voy caminar ahí. Gracias,
