- Tips for learning English without academy? Hello! Learning a language is always difficult, but when you can't afford an academy, it becomes really hard. I studied English at home fifteen years ago during 1 year, and I resumed two years ago. I think that I can write English and understand written texts quite well, but I have still a problem with the listening and, of course, talking it. Are you been anytime in such a situation? How did you resolve it? Do you know any kind of resource that could be of help for minimizing the problem? Thanks to all and regards.August 16, 201200
Nos vemos!
Hoy fue un gran dia. Tenemos sol, 20 grados centígrados y <strike>no nubes</strike> ninguna nube en el cielo. Jugué con mi hija, <strike>quien</strike> que tiene 34 meses, todo el día afuera. Jugamos fútbol y lanzamos la pelota de tenis con nuestro perro. También tenemos un arenero y a mi hija le gusta jugar allí con su juguetes. Ahora voy a darle una ducha <strike>entonces</strike> y después mi esposa va a meterla en la cama. Despues mi hija estará durmiendo y yo y mi esposa vamos a ver una pelicula y <strike>nos relajamos</strike> a relajarnos!0 votedMarch 2, 20110Encantado de verte otra vez, Adam.
Hola a todos,
¿Hoy fue un buen día para ti?
¿Cómo fue tu día hoy? ¿Lindo o feo? Mi día fue aburrido y rutinario como siempre. Trabajé por ocho horas y ahora estoy en la universidad aprendiendo sobre motores eléctricos. Espero que tengas una buena noche. Adiós.
"Hola a todos,": Recuerda que si diriges el mensaje a todos, no puedes después preguntar a uno en concreto ("¿Cómo fue tu día hoy?). Pues empezar por un simple "Hola,".
"Cómo", cuando es interrogativo o exclamativo ("¿Cómo te fue?" o "!Cómo pudiste hacer eso!") lleva tilde. Sin tilde es comparativo ("La silla era tan vieja como la mesa.").
El signo de cierre de interrogación (?) así como el de cierre de exclamación (!) son a su vez punto y final, por lo que tras ellos se utiliza mayúscula.
"Trabajé por ocho horas". Es correcto pero suena artificial. Mejor usa "Trabajé durante ocho horas".
Como siempre, has hecho un estupendo trabajo.
Un saludo,
Igor

@lanka: You don't need to excuse. I don't know how to express myself often.
@melissa: Icecream... Chocolate... It can be a good way because a can become fat easily, so I can use it as a excuse to go more time to gym! Jejeje. :-)
@Nikolay: A good option. And after that you can get vacation at the jail, so you will not work anymore... :-)
@Alexandre: I can do as you do, because here the bridges and buildings are high enough to die, and zombies don't write here... XD
@Eduardo Luft de Almeida: I think we both see life the same way....0 votedMarch 2, 20110 Espero que se recupere pronto, Adam.
Mis amigos,
El padre de mi mejor amigo está muy enfermo en <strike>Colómbia</strike> Colombia.
El viernes pasado mi mejor amigo se fue a <strike>Colómbia</strike> Colombia porque su padre está muy enfermo. Mi amigo nació en la ciudad de Cali y ha estado viviendo en los Estados Unidos desde el año 2000. Espero que su padre se sienta mejor pero creo que está muy malo. <strike>Talvez</strike> Tal vez ustedes puedan rezar una oración para que se recupere y pueda vivir muchos más años. Gracias a todos.
Colombia no lleva tilde.
"Tal vez" va separado.
"puedan" y "pueda": Para formular un deseo se debe utilizar el subjuntivo. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modo_subjuntivo
Ahora entiendo que hables tan bien el español, siendo tu mejor amigo de Cali...
Cuídate.0 votedFebruary 27, 20110Hi Joy, what a beautiful text have you writen!
First Day:
My Tiny Paradise
It was Saturday when we left home at around 10 o'clock in the morning to visit the place where I spent 18 years of my life. It took me about a year to be home again. When I got there, I was surprised to see how the place <strike>has</strike> was changed - from a plain island to a tiny paradise! The touch of the cool sea breeze seemed to welcome me with pleasure. The tall green trees reminded me of someone who always make me smile and I wished that he was with me to see how beautiful the <strike>surrounding was</strike> surroundings were. I could hear the chirping of the birds that sounded like <strike>a </strike>music in the air. The white sand that gave me peace of mind. The clear blue sky that made all things beautiful on that day.
At my back was a beautiful hut. When I went inside the hut, there was a bathroom, a bamboo chair, a small bedroom and a dirty kitchen. I had nothing to say but “wow.” I couldn't believe that I was in such a wonderful paradise.
A great deal of lunch was served. We feasted on seaweed salad, grilled pork and fish, shrimps, crabs, mangoes ( my favorite fruit) and bananas. It was perfect!
I think the best time was in the afternoon when the sunset touched the sand that created a glimmering yellow hue. I closed my eyes and thought for a while that it would be nice to hold hands with someone while walking along the shore. ( I missed him :<)
When the night came, we enjoyed the open sky and built a sand castle. We shared stories and laughed at the top of our lungs. We sang songs and I played the guitar though I can't really play it well. We did some games to keep ourselves awake until 3am. It was <strike>f</strike>a blast!
Second Day:
This morning I got up at 11 o'clock and had my brunch. A cup of coffee (with milk) and a chicken sandwich was enough to complete my morning. As soon as I stepped out of the hut, the rain started to pour So I ran quickly to the billiard hall where my cousins were playing billiard. I played with them and did quite well since playing billiard was my most favorite hobby last year.
The rain continued until afternoon, so I got my laptop and tried connecting to the net and luckily I was connected. Thank goodness! And now I'm writing this notebook entry.
A dirty kitchen looks good for you? :-)
"my most favorite hobby": Only can be a favorite hobby, therefore there isn't any comparison: "my favorite hobby".
I love to see you writing a such beautiful experience. After this, I think I will need to improve my English to talk properly with you! You've done it very well!
Regards,
Igor

Joan: I've tried that sometimes, but I can't enjoy comedies if I'm depressed.
Kerry & Red flowers: Crying doesn't make you be sadder?
Lucas Myster: I'm a man who believes in the mankind, in the hard work and in love. It could be good to believe that God will help me finding my way, but I can't.
lanka: Jajaja. The more I see your message, the more I see only grated squares! I can't understand your language... XD. But the translation shows me your optimistic view of life, and I like it.
Thanks a lot to all you.

Hi!
My name is Andrew. Last 7 years I lived in Moscow, but I grew up in Kiev (Ukraine) and Sochi (where <strike>will be</strike> the Olympic Games will be in 2014).
I'm Working as a senior software developer in system integration, doing a little research in the field of image processing and simulation at the Moscow Aviation Institute (aka Moscow State University of Aerospace technology), and soon I'll be a teacher there.
<strike>Especially</strike> In fact, I never studied English, but since I had to read a lot of technical literature (technical books), I can speak a little. But I have no idea about proper grammar and pronunciation. To learn them, I joined this site.
I will be glad to all new friends!
I don't think that technical books can be called "literature", but that's only my opinion.
"I will be glad to all new friends!" is like saying "I wil be happy to all new friends!". It's does not make sense.
You are doing it very well. And, by the way, I'm as well very glad to meet here another software developer like me. Unfortunately I'm not senior. Congratulations by your new job as a teacher.
Regards,
Igor
