    Hola Eduardo, soy Elena.

    Llevo casi un año aprendiendo español y me gustaría hacer un intercambio de idiomas contigo, si quieras. Soy profesora de ingenería en una universidad en Malasia donde se usa el ingles como el idioma principal.

    Mi nivel de espñol es intermedio. Dame un mensaje aqui! Un saludo.

    You must have not been here. You must have never been here. Both sentences above are correct. The example you gave (you must never be here) is like a command and doesn't reflect whether the person has/has not done the action.

    Probably this doesn't help much, but it does normally go with a noun i.e. "are we still on for the movies?" As opposed to "Are we still on for going to the movies?". I suppose it's not wrong, as a gerund kind of works like a noun, but it does not sound natural. If you must use the gerund, it could simply be "Are we still going to the movies?"

    I believe the grammatically proper way is number 1 i.e. "what will the answer be?" as opposed to "what will be the answer".

    I think it's "any kind of violation of rights" but both are perfectly understandable. Because if I'm not mistaken, "any" is just like "every" and goes with a singular noun.

    @Som

    It's great that you use Kindle. I can't focus too long reading an e-book hence it doesn't work well for me. It's soo nice that you have a big library! Maybe challenge yourself to a book one of these days. :)

    @David

    A book that i just read and loved would be EM Forster's A Room Without A View. It's set in the early 1900 in Florence/Surrey and is a satire on the English social culture in that period. Roald Dahl's books (both for adults and children) are always great too.

    Speaking of trying a new genre, I just landed a copy of Stephen King's Dark Tower and I'm quite looking forward to read it as I've not read Mr King before.

    How about you? What would you recommend?

    Hmm, that largely depends on your interests. What kind of movies do you like? I'll try based on that. :)

    Have you been reading lately?
    Hi everyone, I'm Elena, and I'm learning Spanish.

    I've recently picked up reading again after a very very long hiatus (we're talking about years of not reading a book from start to finish). I used to read a lot when I was in school, up until the year high-speed WI-FI took over the planet. At that moment, I did not even realize that I was slowly neglecting my hobby, and allowed the phone to take over everything. (Face it, some of us even have our sleep-cycle monitored in the shiny 3 by 6 magical device.)

    I made the excuse that I was reading things off my phone -- news articles etc, and that was the new-age reading, and I'd also spend a lot of time watching educational and informative videos on youtube, so that's learning right? However, deep down I knew that these were just excuses.

    So I made the decision to replace my phone (social network, netflix and gaming to be specific) with books instead and I'm happy to announce here that it has been absolutely WONDERFUL.

    I'd love to suggest some titles if any of you would like. Reading literary works that is set in a certain era/place really compliments language learning, regardless of the language. It gives depth and image to the new languages that we learn and I recommend it to everyone.

    P/s: If anyone would like to do a Spanish/English language exchange with me, feel free to send me a message! :)
