Kurt ha un'ottima base in italiano, la quale spiega la sua relativa scorrevolezza in italiano anche dopo due anni di pausa. Con tanta pratica non avrà difficoltà a raggiungere un ottimo livello.

Kurt è uno studente molto bravo, parla bene ed accetta subito le correzioni. La nostra lezione è stata davvero piacevole anche perchè è possibile scherzare e rendere tutto molto leggero.

E' stato un piacere parlare con te, il tuo italiano è gia abbastanza buono ed è facile da comprendere. La tua passione per le lingue si nota sicuramente da subito!

Kurt ha delle conoscenze elementari della lingua italiana che ha acquisito passivamente, ascoltando e guardando contenuti multimediali. In questo nostro primo incontro, gli ho chiesto di parlarmi di sé stesso. Verso la fine, invece, abbiamo fatto un gioco per testare le sue capacità di ascolto e di ortografia. È stata una lezione divertente e "leggera"!

    'when' works in all these cases, but while is fine for the first 1 too. When is a more casual word and is more common in everyday speech. Let me give an example: "I usually get some reading done when/while my wife's at work." Technically 'while' is perfect here, since the actions are at the same time, but in everyday speech native speakers will usually use 'when' in these cases.

    As a mom, I’d say my daily life *revolves around* my kid. I have to be in the house before she gets home from school. With limited time *in the* day, I try to do the things I want like learning English, exercising, and walking around. (in a list like this the verb tenses should match, so either "learn English, exercise, and walk around" or "learning English, exercising, and walking around") In the morning, I think of where to go and read or study. I used to go to book café that I like but when it’s lunch time, it’s so crowded that it’s hard to stay focused on my thing. I heard from news that some people go to cafes and spend the whole time studying there with just one coffee ordered, and the café owners don’t like them. I understand how they feel but at the same time I feel bad. Anyway, I like spring and fall because *it’s neither* hot nor cold and *they're the* perfect seasons to walk around. Good weather just makes me feel better and encourages me to do something.

    maybe to explain in chinese, here "to mean" = 意味着 Just because garbage disposals can grind stuff 并不意味着 you can put bones in them.

    They're both ok. In conversation most people would say imported cars. Usually you would need an '-ed' like "renovated cars" "painted cars" "washed cars" etc. However an "import car" is just a car term and it is completely acceptable, especially in writing. I'm guessing bc every word is capitalized this is the title of like an article or something where you want to talk about 6 cool cars, so use "import".

    Here work doesn't refer to something you make, rather it's the effort put in.. 比如说 “花了好大工夫” = put in a lot of work. 这里 “工夫” 和 “work” 很类似

    It's ok, but as a native english speaker I'm not sure I've ever heard the word "allured" in conversation... it means to tempt or lure but it's pretty much only used in books. People would just say: "His calm deep voice drew me in" or "I was attracted to his calm deep voice". Also for #3 it would be better to say "The young actress craved recognition and glory" or "The young actress had a craving for recognition and glory" but using "...craved for the..." sounds awkward.

    willingness to be wrong = you can admit your mistakes. 如果莫人”has a willingness to be wrong", 他不是一个固执己见的人。如果他知道错了的话就别嘴硬

    Almost perfect! The first sentence isn't really wrong but sounds awkward to me, so I rephrased it. In the second paragraph you can say "they have the same storyline" or "they have quite a similar storyline" but "quite the same" sounds awkward. Somethings I changed weren't exactly wrong but sounded a little unnatural. Cheers!

    The best world

    The best world
    At almost every stage of humanity’s development we've asked "What is the ideal world?". The brilliant British writer George Orwell and the famous Russian novelist Eugene Zamyatin showed readers an impressive interpretation of the promising-at-first-glance attempts to make a utopian state in their novels “1984” and “We”.
    If we compare both books, it will be easily noticed that they have quite a similar storyline: the protagonist at first accepts the new ideal world, but then fights against it. What is more, the crucial similarity is that both novels have a compelling love story, which adds a sentimental touch to the gripping plot.
    Still, there are some considerable differences between two storylines. As “1984” (1949) was written 29 years later than “We” (1920), it is remarkable that its characters and regime accurately resemble a typical communist country of those years. Zamyatin, however, managed to develop an innovative idea of the utopian country, which was not so popular in the early decades of the 20th century.
    Personally, I would strongly recommend to read both books starting with “1984”. Although George Orwell’s story is really powerful, it is predictable due to the historic period in which the story was created. However, “We” is more exhilarating and fast-moving due to more fictional details which the author skillfully added.

    Yea this is fine but you will rarely hear a native speaker say "has got". In spoken english the 'has' almost always joins the noun before it. So native speakers would probably say "My bedroom's got two windows." Also "My bedroom has two windows" is fine too. In general, if you always use contractions whenever possible your english will sound more native!
