    Sure, I'm looking to do a Spanish-English language exchange. I'm a native English speaker looking to improve my Spanish.

    Sí, también estoy tratando de platicar en inglés e español con un compañero de lenguaje para mejorar mi español

    Drei Hunde Es gibt drei Hunde in meine Familie, alle sehr komisch und mit große Persönlichkeiten. Der kleinste, Luigi, ist sehr Nervös und musst immer in der Nahe meines Papa sein. Er will seine Frühstuck nicht fressen es sei den Ich spreche bei ihm. Der großte, Kobe, ist braun und ruhig. Er ist unbeholfen und steht im Weg. Der ältste, Charlie, ist Weiß und hat lockiges Pelz. Er ist Dumm aber wir lieben ihn.

    It's true that I wouldn't use 'wanna' in a business email or in a professional/formal context, and I agree that it's important for English language learners to know that. But 'wanna' is very much a part of written vernacular speech in English--not the kind you'd find in a dictionary, but the kind that young people especially use to communicate (over text, whatsapp, emails, etc).

    I think it's a huge advantage for English language learners to be able to 'code switch' in their writing between formal and informal speech depending on context; it sounds much more natural. To me, the ability to switch between both 'formally/informally spoken' and 'formally/informally written' English shows a higher level of nuance and mastery of the language. Standard North American English is important to learn correctly, of course, but English has so many wonderful varieties and dialects, all of which have their own internal linguistic rules and histories!

    P.s. since someone mentioned 'tryna' earlier, I thought I'd link a linguistics video on African American Vernacular English, a dialect of North American Standard English. 'Tryna' is originally part of this dialect, but of course there is code-switching and dialectal flexibility between Standard and AAVE. I found it really informative.

    Subjunctive future

    A 4-day holiday will start <s>since</s> on the 23rd of this July. [more natural: 'this July 23rd.']
    I was wondering for what reason those holidays had been formed. [more natural: 'what we were celebrating on these holidays'

    If COVID-19 were not a pandemic [More natural: 'If the pandemic wasn't happening,'], the Olympics would have been held in Tokyo during the holidays.

    During that holiday we may be able to enjoy good value trips thanks to an economic recovery campaign.

    However, should the infective disease form spread, I may not want to go on trips.

    Good job!

    Hi, could you check these sentences, please?

    1) I insist that his dog <s>back off from</s> get off of my lawn immediately. [Note: you can also tell someone to back off, but that's more often a general request to be left alone rather than a demand that they get away from a specific place. You could also say 'back up off of my lawn', but that's very colloquial.]
    2) If you didn't back me up I would<s> have big troubles (</s>either: 'would have been in big trouble' or 'would have had seriousl problems'). So I don't even know how I can express my gratitude.
    3) I didn't see the level of diligence that I expected from him.
    4) He's too fussy to live in nature in tents for several days in the row. (or should I use picky instead of fussy?) [Either is fine! Fussy sounds slightly better to me here, but matter of taste.]
    5) I felt a strong exasperation [more natural: 'I felt really exasperated'] after coming home from work, so I asked that no one bother me till tomorrow.
    6) One of his most valuable qualities was integrity.
    7) I want to acquire new skills in order to become a better employee.

    Great job!

    My composition

    As<s> it</s> depicted vividly in this illustration, a dazzling variety of literary works, from Chinese to Western, were displayed in a <s>culture</s> <s>hotpot</s> [you might mean "a cultural melting pot"--I'm not familiar with the phrase 'culture hotpot'].The original combination of divergent cultures makes the <s>hotpot </s> pot all the more tasty and captivating, notes the writer.



    To the best of my knowledge, in a time <s>of cultural diversity being emphasized so much </s>when cultural diversity is emphasized so much, <s>culture hotpot</s> this cultural melting pot is a triumph of the epoch. For one thing, tens of thousands of students derived enormous satisfaction and knowledge from a wide range of literature. Not only do we have <s>a proficient</s> command of our own cultures, but we can also have a better understanding of the world. For another, literature represents the accumulated wisdom <s>down through</s> of the ages, and they are the common treasure of all mankind. Mixing together the essence of heritages from all over the world will undoubtedly boost the circulation [Note: unsure what you mean by this phrase. Maybe 'widen the horizons'?] of human civilization.

    Great job!

    My self introduction

    Hello everyone! My name is Celeste. I come from Chongqing China. I‘m 18 years old <s>now</s>. I have just finished the college entrance examination, and fortunately I got a good grade, which can ensure me <s>to enter</s> entry to the top 5 universities in China. In the Chinese evaluation system ,the standard of my English is OK. But due to the absence of oral English in the learning and evaluation system in my city , my oral English is extremely poor. So I think it’s high time that I should get down to sparing no effort to study English. And I feel it an honor to communicate with friends around the world on Italki.

    Great job and congratulations on your exam!
