My name is Tu Anh, I'm a Canadian student looking to develop language skills to communicate with the wide-variety of communities within British Columbia. Vancouver in particular is home to Punjabi, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, communities to name a few. I'm picking French, because it's an official language and can help with professional development in Canada; I'm learning Japanese as I'm a fan of the culture. My degree is in Criminology and I believe many conflicts can be resolved through proper and clear communication. Languages serve to facilitate communication between cultures and give people an opportunity to resolve matters before a major conflict occurs. Other than that, I'm learning because it's fun.

Tu Anh is a very clever and highly-motivated individual eager to learn French. He is very kind and receptive when having a conversation and I have no doubt he will succeed. Thank you!

    "I want to dedicate this song to you." I can't really think of a context in which the other one would be said. Good luck to you in whatever you're hoping to use that phrase for.

    What I'm doing during this time at home.

    I'm at home since Saturday, March 14. Being at home all day, everyday has been a little (redundant "bit") strange. In the second week, there was a day that I felt so anxious and afraid of everything that was (past tense, maintain consistency) happening that I turned my cellphone off ("of") for over (simplified sentence) a week trying to avoid being (style choice) exposed to all the (referring specifically to bad news) news. Now, I'm better; I'm trying do nice things. (ambiguous/variable sentence)

    - I'm exercising almost everyday using this site: https://treineemcasa.smartfit.com.br/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_LrKz-mD6QIVhg6RCh2G3wvfEAAYAiAAEgIg3PD_BwE#/ (If you are learning Portuguese, this is a nice way to practice your listening while exercising)
    -I also started my studies of Spanish and French. It's been REALLY challenging. I like the teachers and the classes, even though everything is online. In the next Spanish class, I'll have to sing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9_l3oDOag
    I hope I can do this hahaha.
    - I'm finishing a course called Local Water Solutions for Global Challenges (March and April 2020) I love it!
    -I started in a volunteer program by UNICEF to fight againg (?) fake news. (It haven't really started yet) [Don't ask me why English grammar is like this.} (Or: "It didn't start yet.")
    -I won (?) an English course by British Council of 4 weeks (I'm really exited to start)
    -(Removed "and") Finally, I'm participating in a selective process to work at Enactus through/at/with my University.
    This things are helping me to keep my mind sharp/occupied/busy ("working" is a bit ambiguous), but I also spend a lot of time with my family, watching movies, TV series, listening to music and, of course, fighting with my father because of (Or: "about") politics (specifically Bolsonaro).

    Overall, pretty good!
    There were a few punctuation errors and ambiguous statements, but almost all of it was comprehensible.
    You've had a lot of practise, that's for sure.

    The trick with ambiguous statements is that they can be interpreted multiple ways. You have a solid foundation, so working on precision would be a good thing to focus on in order to communicate more clearly. Be mindful of contractions and double-check to make sure you're using the right one. Guessing works most of the time, but a second look might take the guessing portion out.

    It's pleasant to hear that there are people still taking time to volunteer and look after themselves while the world is (figuratively) on fire. Stay safe and keep moving forward.

    Best,
    TA
