Hoje fizemos nossa primeira aula e pude notar que Alex tem facilidade com a pronúncia do português e também em compreender o que digo. Estudamos "Cumprimentos, apresentações e despedidas" e marcamos algumas diferenças de pronúncia entre português e espanhol. Obrigada pela aula, Alex! Até a próxima!

Alex es muy divertido. Tiene amplio conocimiento sobre la cultura mexicana, por lo que platicamos de distintos temas, su nivel de conversación es fluido y su pronunciación es bastante buena.

    You could also say that you abstain, but abstaining could refer to may things.

    The second and third are correct. I'd say the second one (in the sea) would be more commonly used.

    Sweet tooth

    I have a sweet tooth<s>. I</s> and really love chocolate and gummy candy! I don't know why, but since I was a little child<s>,</s> I was really into sweet things and whenever I get stressed I buy bunch of chocolate and dig into it. That's one of my ways to relieve<s> the</s> stress! My favourite chocolate brand would be Ritter Sports! They have a wide range of flavour and often launch new flavours for every new season. So far, my favourite one would be the one with cornflakes which are so tasty! I love the chunkiness of cornflakes!! <s>Anyways..</s> I usually get dark chocolate and sometimes milk chocolate, however I <s>don't</s> am not really keen on white chocolate <s>with no reason</s> but I am not sure why. Also there is chocolate filled with marzipan and this is an absolute disaster. I do not like marzipan at all and I tried it once and I was like "what on the earth is this chocolate?"
    <s>Anyways...</s>Luckily I have never had a cavity in my life. To be honest, when I was younger I didn't brush my teeth 3 times a day, <s>even</s> some days I brushed my teeth only once. But it was always in the morning that I brushed my teeth so I hope my friends didn't suffer from my <s>mouth</s> bad breath. Given the fact that I haven't been a teeth brushing <s>teeth</s> enthusiast, I should have gotten at least one cavity <s>at least</s>! So I think I am a lucky girl. I don't know why <s>is it </s>since my parents <s>they did</s> have had many cavities and needed to <s>get it cared</s> them filled but <s>me and </s>my brother and I , <s>our teeth are</s> have perfectly fine teeth and have no problem at all.

    The plural of fish is can be either fish or fishes. It is more common (at least in American English) to use fish for plural. "I caught 7 fish yesterday when I went out fishing with my son."

    The plural of honey is just honey.

    Guadalajara Estoy visitando Guadalajara, México ahora. Como la mayoría del mundo, México esta luchando contra el COVID, así que toda la gente lleva cubrebocas en la calle y en los centros comerciales. Antes de ingresar, la vigilancia toma tu temperatura y hay que aplicar gel antibacterial en las manos; También, es obligatorio pisar en un tapete de goma con cloro para sanitizar los zapatos. Mi esposa es de Guadalajara, y mi hijo mayor también nació aquí. Me gusta el ritmo de la vida en México, hay más tiempo para pasar en familia y con los amigos. Yo suelo salir por alitas, ir al parque para correr y andar por la ciudad. La gente es amigable, y curiosamente me siento más cómodo hablando con extraños aca que en los Estados Unidos. Algún día, me gustaría retirarme y vivir en México o en un pais donde hablen el español.

    John, as mentioned below both are grammatically correct. In the US, I'd say #1 would be more common.

    Jordi, What you wrote makes sense in English and there aren't any grammatical errors. However, just like Spanish there are many different ways to convey the same information. Alternate examples: If you and I were not able to communicate with each other after several attempts, it means we were not meant to meet. If you and I couldn't connect after several attempts, maybe it means we were not meant to be together. If you and I couldn't sync up after several attempts, perhaps it's a sign that we shouldn't go on a date. I think using meet is fine in the context of a dating site, because the ultimate goal is to meet the person and see if there is something there between the two people. I hope this helps.

    Please, check my 6-month progress report

    Hi! Please, check my report, i need it to sound formal or semi-formal.
    Thank you!

    Introduction
    The purpose of this report is to evaluate the progress following the first half year in my current position of Content Manager. It will also offer suggestions for my professional development in the coming months.

    Achievements
    In the past six months of my employment, I have launched the company's website update and have increased the number of <s>the</s> followers on Instagram <s>on</s> by 25% by creating a new strategy of content presentation. I also have promoted the website into the top-10 positions on Google for several search queries by means of SEO.

    Problems
    Despite the aforementioned achievements, <s>all of this</s> I am struggling with the lack of communication and <s>provision</s> accessibility of information by some departments. Being a new team member, I need my coworkers to be more open and involved in <s>telling the</s> sharing details of the work they are responsible for. This will help me provide <s>the</s> clients with all the necessary information about our company and enhance customer loyalty.

    Future training opportunities
    Considering my past experience at the company, I'd suggest two possible improvements <s>can be identified</s>. First <s>of all</s>, I would suggest that the meeting <s>with</s> between the Product, Personnel and PR departments <s>to</s> be regular in order to develop a more sustainable strategy on interaction with clients. Second<s>ly</s>, I'd recommend <s>would take a</s> self training or hiring an agency specializing in Tik-Tok as I see new opportunities for the company <s>in</s> on this platform <s>network</s>.

    Rita, your English is very sophisticated. Good luck on your report!

    It depends on the person and their level of English. There are plenty of people out there that grow up bilingual, or in a country that has a strong English tradition (Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Philippines etc). I've heard many of these people speak for long periods of time and never heard a single error.
