Yesterday, I went to an English conversation class. Usually, I go to the beginners class, but yesterday was I went to the normal class. All of the other students speak spoke English well. I want to know how do they think when they speak English. I take a long time to translate Japanese to English.

Great job!! I know the struggle of trying to think in your new language-- I end up speaking Arabic slowly and in a very English way, unfortunately. Best of luck to you :)

I knew learned about this website when I was browsing browsed some the cChinese web, seeing where I saw some a poster introdused introducing this English learning English experience. So*, I opened the italki.com and registered at once to be a learner here. I hope I can make some progress here, and can help others with their Chinese learning. Good luck!!

* "After that" or "Because of the post" are better choices than "So" here. People may speak that way, but we don't use "so" on its own as a prepositional phrase.

Great first post and good luck to you too!

My language learning has changed a lot in the past few months. I think it has been happening because I can better read and understand the language now. It raises which has increased my motivation to keep practicing English. Another thing that motivates me to do this learn English is that I want to move into my own place. It seems to be something difficult to accomplish, but I know I can do this it and that I need this the experience. [Also, I really missed traveling this morning and I am planning to go overseas in a couple of months.]* In order to do this, I need to find a better job and start saving money.

*Options to make your idea clear here:

1. Also, I realized this morning how much I miss traveling, so I am planning to go overseas jn a couple of months.

2. Also, I really miss traveling, so I am planning to go overseas in a couple of months.

If you use "to miss" in the past tense it will imply you don't miss traveling any more, even jf you particularly missed it in the morning today. These options make your idea clear, it just depends on how much you want to include the fact you were thinking about future travels in the morning rather than at any other time.

Great job!

I read a book about how to write travel essays. The author recommends those who don't want to be tourists but to be travelers should write travel essays. In order to write essays, we have to observe things more deeply. By doing so, we will be different from other participants of a tour. I agree with him. I'll try to observe more deeply when I travel next time.

Great job! Just watch your spelling and work on making longer sentences.

Depending on the languages we know, we'll have some strengths or and weaknesses in learning another language. For instance, if we already know a Romance language, it will be easier to learn another one. Moreover, if we happen to know one with a richer phoneme base, French or Portuguese for instance, it will be easier to acquire the sounds of the other. Spanish, however, has a narrower phoneme base, which makes it difficult for Spanish speakers to correctly pronounce the sounds of French or Portuguese. As for the vocabulary, there are a few high frequency words that are quite unique to each Romance language, but the majority of words have a recognizable relationship among them. For instance, "avec" in French is unrelated to its synonyms "con" or "com" in Spanish/Italian and Portuguese. The bottom line is that a big portion of the vocabulary learning task is already done. Continuing with Spanish and Portuguese, we would probably understand a text, but we will not be able to pronounce it correctly. So the first task to be undertaken may be learning pronunciation and practicing writing. Other languages pose a harder task if they are not so related to ours. Some say German is related to English, but I don't feel there is any such relationship, or at least not so strong as to be of great help.

Amazing work! Your English is great-- I had to really search to make improvements.

Good evening 🌆 Today I want to talk about a piece of art that I made in the few past few hours. I worked on it yesterday and finished it in the morning. I used a colorful, glittery sticker cards which that enabled* me to create** all my ideas easily. It The piece represents the spring in with its lively, refreshing colors. I sticked stuck the cards to the paper after cutting them into different shapes to draw create the intended drawing picture. It looks like a young child made it, but I liked it too much a lot and my mother as well does too. I am going to make similar ones for my nieces because they were so excited when they saw it.

Better word choice:

*allowed

**illustrate

Rules to remember:

1. When you use multiple adjectives, put commas (,) in between them. For example: "lively, refreshing colors" and "colorful, glittery sticker cards".

2. "But" requires a comma (,) before it if the clauses are independent. For example, you could have written: "It looks like a young child made it. I like it a lot." Since these are complete sentences on their own, you need the comma before the "but." You do not need a comma for this sentence: "He went to the store but forgot his wallet." No comma is needed because "forgot his wallet" is not a complete sentence.

Great job with the art and the paragraph! Good luck with your studies.
