Alan is an experienced English teacher while Patricia is an experienced Portughese teacher, so it was really challenging working with them and I really had fun since we could compare Italian, English and Portughese and interact more with each other since it was 3 of us and not 2 as usual :) NICE WORK ALAN AND PATRICIA

    Great notebook entry. Your grammar is excellent! The only correction I have is where you wrote, "faces to a big street." You don't need to use "to" after faces. You can just say, "it faces a big street."  

    There is a phrasal verb that is "to face up to" which means to confront something or accept, but that will basically be the only time you use "to" with face.

    Again, great entry.

    If you have a macintosh, go to system preferences, then international, and then change your language to Spanish. From there, you can use shift and the "{" key next to P and then type the letter. If you have a PC, I am not positive, but you probably need do something similar in the control panel or system settings/

    I am Xufeng. Xufeng is a Chinese name. I am from from Beijing.

    I am a software engineer. I live in Beijing and work for a foreign company so I must talk with my foreign colleagues in their mother tongue which is English. However,  my oral english is rather poor, so I signed up here and made up my mind to change this situation.

    I would like to make friends with you.  I am able to teach you Chinese at once if you plan to study Chinese.


    Good job! Keep practicing your English and I know you will improve.
