    There are many trees and two ponds in the park.

    I <strike>walked</strike> walk through the park, and I take pictures of birds.

    Today I found a <strike>nest</strike> Pygmy Woodpecker nest.

    moje škola Dnes bych chtěl napsat něco o mé práci. Jsem učitel na jazykové škole. Učím angličtinu a mám devět lekcí týdně. Mám rád své studenty. Líbí se jim moje hodiny, myslím. Bavíme se spolu dobře. Raději bych učil ve škole, než na skypu, protože je to více interaktivní. Ale když učím na skypu nemusím si česat vlasy :-)

    The 4th class

    Nearly 2 weeks <strike>are gone</strike> have passed since our last class and today I had my 4th class with Matt.

    The topic of today's session was small talk. What are the typical topics when you start a conversation and what <strike>do you better leave</strike> is best left unsaid. There a differences in small talk between business conversations and <strike>talks</strike> talking amongst <strike>among</strike> friends.

    My <strike>famous</strike> favourite one which I learned today: "Did you order the sunshine?". I think that is a good way to start a conversation, isn't it?

    Thanks for the class, Matt.

    My 2nd class with Matt.

    Some minutes ago I <strike>have</strike> finished my second class with my teacher. Like the first session it was helpful and entertaining<strike>, too</strike>.
    We started with a conversation about different topics, holidays and the last few days. We then practiced english reading, <strike>hearing</strike> listening and <strike>understanding </strike>comprehension. 

    The texts that Matt has prepared inspired us to talk about related topics like internet search engines and New Year's resolutions and much more.

    I have learned some new vocabulary, too, e.g. "taps", "dam", "mass" <strike>or</strike>  and "famine". Words like "reluctant" <strike>or</strike>  and "bachelor" are familiar to me, but had to be repeated and reviewed.

    Thanks for that class, Matt. I hope to hear from you soon and that I can attend the next one.

    Sorry what I meant by the 15 ITC was actually the 15% service fee that italki charges.

    So is it possible to offer a free regular session to a student, say for a birthday? And will the teacher be charged any service fee for this?

    Hi Amy

    I am only new here and I could only hope to one day have as many students as you have.

    As for the class, I am sure you have already completed it or the opportunity has passed, but I would like to put in my 2 cents for what it is worth.  I would offer a FREE trial and try to explain to the student prior that if you are unable to communicate at all, the class could be cancelled by either student or teacher at any time.  Maybe you could get someone from the italki community to translate this info into the student's language for you. During the class I would use as many visual aids as possible and focus on basic greetings and simple vocabulary such as common food.

    Hope this is helpful for you or any of the other teachers.  And if you have any tips on acquiring more students I would greatly appreciate it.

    Myslím že všechno je těžké v Češtinu.

    However, maybe an easy way to learn the seven cases in both singular and plural would be very helpful.
