Hi, I'm a native English speaker with a very neutral English accent from London. Je parle assez bien français (j'ai mon DALF C1 et je enseigne dans une école secondaire ici en angleterre). Busco alguien con quien mejorar mi espanol. Nunca he tenido clases de espanol entonces no se cual es mi nivel exacto pero es mas o menos B1. Me gusta mucho conocer a la gente y hablar de cualquier cosa incluso los temas polémicos. Mandame un mensaje si eso te interesa.

The lesson with Caroline was great. Sometimes you find troubles when students want to have a conversation and you feel the urgency of asking them questions and to come up with new topics and the conversation looks artificial but not this time, really happy with her and looking forward to meeting her again.

    Hi, could you check these sentences, please?

    1) The company decided to hire a new sale manager. Everyone who wanted to apply for <s>a</s> the job <s>can</s> could submit their resume to HR department. (the use of the simple past here suggests that this happened months or even years ago)
    2) Have you heard about a book called the Godfather? The plot<s> engaged</s> caught my attention and I<s> think to</s> am thinking of read the book.
    3) She's one of the most influential and prominent <s>person</s> people ("one of" is always followed by a plural) in the film industry, so you'll be really lucky if you get to<s> know</s> meet her. ("get to know" is a phrase which describes the process of building a relationship with someone, "get to meet" means to have the opportunity to make someone's acquaintance).
    4) Her doctor gave her a referral for next Sunday but <s>soon</s> then she realized that she won't be able to make it <s>on Sunday</s> (unnecessary repetition). So she asked to <s>shift</s> move the appointment <s>for</s> to Sunday.??? (you call also say "to reschedule the appointment for...")
    5) Each of the ingredients has its own distinct flavour but in this dish they <s>just</s> are all mixed together and it's impossible catch any <s>of them </s>particular flavour.
    6) No one could anticipate what was going to happen next. (talking about a past event that is now finished, we now know the outcome but at the time no one could anticipate it.) OR No one can anticipate what is going to happen next. (talking about a current event, we still don't know the outcome and we can't anticipate it)
    7) I made up a really plausible excuse why I cut <s>the</s> class yesterday but I'm not sure whether my teacher bought it or not. (this is an excellent use of colloquial English, just be aware that the phrase "to cut class" is very American; it is not widely used or understood in the UK)

    Acculturation (este palabra sí existe en inglés pero es muy poco utilizado, diríamos mejor "cultural assimilation") in Chile

    Hello everyone, could you help me please If i have any mistake in my <s>writting</s> writing?
    Thank you.

    The Mapuche (significa la gente Mapuche) <s>culture </s>("culture" significa el idioma, los costumbres, la música, el arte, etcetera, pero no incluso la gente misma. Esas cosas no son físicas entonces no tiene lugar.) <s>is </s>are located in central and southern Chile. <s>it is</s> They are (cuando hablamos de la gente o un grupo, utilizamos el plural) also found in southern Argentina. <s>It is</s> They are the largest <s>culture</s> indigenous group that currently lives in Chile with more than 17 million i<s>nhabitants</s> people. <s>Upon the arrival of the Spanish they</s> Upon their arrival, the Spanish (en tu frase no es claro si "they" significa los españoles o los mapuches, entonces lo he cambiado) <s>implemented</s> imposed their language "Castilian". The Spanish called them Araucanos. In the Mapudungun language, Mapuche means "people of the earth".

    TIMELINE
    <s>The Chileans were in control of the Incas </s>The Incas were in control of Chile, until the arrival of the Mapuches in the 16th century. It is noteworthy that upon their arrival they brought traditions from Argentina. In 1541 the Spanish conquest by Pedro Valdivia began (si empiezas en el pasado tienes que seguir en el pasado), The Mapuches resisted the conquest, it was so well-known that they called it "La resistance de Araucano". <s>the conquest is over</s> After the conquest, the Mapuches <s>win</s> won and the Spaniards <s>leave</s> left. (es verdad? creo que la mayoría de los chilenos son mezclados o hijos de los colonizadores) <s>at the moment</s> Nowadays they continue living in the south of Chile with some <s>customs of the Spanish</s> Spanish customs like the language. <s>Important demographic</s> Mapuches are known for their products and techniques used, which is why they are so popular throughout the country.
    -They are spreading their beliefs with Chileans through the Catholic religion
    -They in their <s>ideology</s> culture have a lof (????) who is the head or in charge of taking care of the family.
    - They also have sustainable forms of agriculture, based on the cultivation of corn and their clothes "el chamal o quetpam" made of their own textiles. When they arrived <s style="color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">to</s> in Chile from Argentina they brought the Alpaca and El chullo, a hat made of the same textile, both <s>Things</s> of which are still present in Chile and are national elements of acculturation.
    The Mapuches were made up of various ethnic groups that shared linguistic, social, religious, and economic similarities, such as the Huichiles and the Cuncos.
    Some Mapuches follow their traditional lifestyle, living in their houses called ruka, made of materials such as straw or wood, the most important construction in Mapuche architecture
    On the Chilean holidays they are currently celebrating (este frase no es incorrecto, pero significa que están celebrando hoy) Independence Day as they celebrate their freedom <s>to</s> from the Spanish. The dish they eat during the festivities as part of the integration?? are <s>the</s> empanadas de pino, a dish brought by the Spanish during the conquest, this dish is made from ingredients like ground beef and chili(Ajì).

    Atención:
    <ul><li>"in control of" significa a cargo de o controlar. al inverso podemos decir "under the control of" que significa controlado por</li><li>"at the moment" es algo pasajero, decimos "nowadays" para señalar una situación estable.</li></ul>

    Hola Oscar - es muy bien escribir solamente para praticar. No voy a repetir los correcciones que Anthony (que son muy buenos) pero voy a señalar uno o dos otras cosas que pueden ser útiles para ti.

    <ul><li>"Actually" significa realmente. Utilizamos la palabra cuando hablamos de algo que parece de una manera pero que es en realidad de otra manera. Par ejemplo "He seems very intelligent but he is <em>actually</em> very stupid"</li><li>"Actualmente" significa at the moment</li><li>Si quieres decir que has cambiado tu vida por el Covid diríamos mejor en inglés "Covid'19 was a wake-up call". Esto significa que te diste cuento de la necesidad de cambiar tu vida gracias al coronavirus. </li></ul>

    Hello, My name is Oscar, I live alone in the house, sometimes i have visits like my brothers or parents. Actually I think that this Covid-19 was like wake up from dream. Now, i wake up with alarm clock, I do exercises every day, i run around in backyard for 30 minutes. I prepair breakfast, lunch and dinner. Often the business ask me like make/do(?) a e-commerce but they want to see fast results and not function so. Today for example a business man tell me that he wants to work with me and he wants to win two time more regard last year. i think that <s>dont have sense my text</s> my text does not make sense but only i wanted to write some.

    Holidays

    🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
    I love spring holidays very much. This is <s>Shrovetide</s> Shrove Tuesday (Shrovetide is correct but it is very old fashioned) (Pancake Day), April Fool's Day and Easter. Spring is a time for walks, picnics and Easter fairs, when gardens bloom and birds sing. You can walk in parks and along the river embankment, ride scooters, go to the zoo, feed pigeons.
    On <s>Shrovetide</s> Shrove Tuesday , we eat pancakes. At Easter, we paint eggs and eat cakes. We tell each other: "Christ is risen." And answer: "Truly he is risen".
    My favorite holidays are <s>birthday</s> birthdays (this means that you like everyone's birthday, you must say my birthday if you mean your own birthday specifically) and New year.
    My son and I celebrate our birthdays in the spring. I usually don't invite people to my house very often. We usually celebrate our (if you mean you and your son) birthdays in a cafe or a restaurant. I invite close friends and relatives <s>to</s> for the <s>holiday</s> special day (we only say holiday if it is an official day off work). Guests say nice things about me or my son and give gifts. They give flowers, sweets, books, money. I like it when my son congratulates me. He draws me a card and kisses me. The party lasts for several hours. There is usually a lot of delicious food. We eat salads, pizza, and cake, and drink tea and wine. Sometimes we do various fun activities such as dancing and games <s>are held at the festival</s>.
    Winter is a time of fairy tales, waiting for miracles and a New year. We decorate the Christmas tree. We hang balloons, toys and chocolates on the tree. There is a star on top of the Christmas tree. This is the symbol of the star of Bethlehem. At a festive dinner, we eat delicious food, drink juice or lemonade, and watch TV. Under the beat of the Moscow chimes, we make a wish. And then we give each other gifts. <s>The</s> My son no longer believes in Santa Claus. I give my son sweet gifts and toys. Symbols of the New year are a decorated Christmas tree, gifts, and a festive dinner.

    This is brilliant!
    Be careful:
    <ul><li>when you have a list you must put "and" between the last two items. "We eat salads, pizza and cake" is a list of what you eat. You then made a new list "drink tea and wine" so you must join these two lists with "and" as well. It looks funny but it sounds very natural in English. </li><li>we use the plurals like "fairy tales", "birthdays" and "miracles" (without the definite article) to be very general and inclusive. "a time for fairy tales" is a very good because it means a time for all fairy tales and other stories like them and other things associated with them, which is a beautiful description of winter.</li></ul>

    The final<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">ly</s> exam is coming

    This year is a <s>special</s> unique year because the novel corona virus has been spreading all over the world. I am an arts student, so I need to<s> memory</s> memorise many things ever semester. But this year due to this situation, our teachers have decided to hold an open-book test. I am so happy because this will make my review <s>more</s> easier. But today one of my teacher <s>says </s>said we will take a closed-book exam <s>on this</s> for that subject. This <s>drives</s> drove me nuts when I heard this news. I <s>even</s> don't even have a book about this subject, and <s>we will test it</s> our test will be next week. This subject is so difficult that I worry <s>about</s> that I might fail it. From tomorrow, I will <s>review</s> revise harder and I hope I can get good grades. God bless me.

    Nice job!
    Be careful:
    <ul><li>"special" is a positive word - corona virus is not positive, so it is better to use a neutral word like "unique"</li><li>"memory" is the noun, "memorise" is the verb</li><li>always use past tense to talk about things which have already happened even if they happened today</li><li>"review" and "revise" have very similar meanings, but we almost always use "revise" to mean "studying something again before a test". </li></ul>

    Cervantes - resumen del episódio 11 temporada 3 de Notes in Spanish Hoy escuché un nuevo episódio de Notes in Spanish que trata del escritor famoso Miguel de Cervantes. Voy a hacer el resumen de lo que entendí sobre su vida y compartir unos pensamiento sobre él. He hecho también un pocito de investigación para verificar los datos. Cervantes vivió en la misma época que Shakespeare, es decir durante el Renacimiento. Aúnque nació en 1547, no publicó su libro "Don Quixote de la Mancha" hasta 1605 cuando ya tenía casi sesenta años. Por el época, era un viejo. Pero siguió viviendo once años más y publicó una secuela de su novela. Su vida fue bastante distincta de lo que imaginamos cuando pensamos a un maestro de la literatura. Tenía una infáncia sin estabilidad y sin mucho educación. De lo que sabemos no fue a la universidad. Sus padres viajaron mucho para buscar trabajo y huir de los deudores. Al edad de 22 años partió de España muy de repente probablemente por un duelo donde había herido a alguien. El castigo normal por duelos era el destierro. Vivió muchos años en Itália, donde se volvió soldado y luchó en la batalla de Lepanto que fue una batalla naval decisiva entre los páises cristianos de europa y el imperio otomano. Durante el combate Cervantes perdió el uso de su mano isquierda. Por eso tiene el sobrenombre "el manco de Lepanto" (un manco es alguien que ha perdido un mano). Despues de la batalla, trató de volver a España pero le secuestraron una pandilla de pirates en el Mediterráneo y le tenían prisonero en Argelia. Su familia no pudieron pagar el rescate entonces los pirates iban a venderle como esclavo pero al ultimo momento unos monjes le rescataron y llegó a Sevilla en 1580. Trabajó muchos años en Sevilla pero no logró a evitar problémas entonces fue en la cárcel de Sevilla en los años 1590 que empezó a escribir su obra maestra "Don Quixote de la Mancha". La novela tuvo gran exito donde el público pero los críticos no lo consideraron como una obra importante. Pero con el tiempo, el mundo se ha dado cuento de que Don Quixote fue el comienzo de la literatura moderna y es mientras los mejores libros de todo el tiempo. Cervantes no tenía mucho educación pero aprendió de la vida y vivió muchissimo. Por eso me hizó pensar en una phrase de Henry David Thoreau que dijo: ¡Qué inútil sentarse para escribir cuando no te has puesto de pie para vivir!"
