- Apprendre les langues C'est bizarre, savoir qu'apprendre une langue est plus difficile qu'on pense. Sûr, quand je commencé étudier le français, j'ai 'su' les langues ont beaucoup des choses de lui. Par exemple, la utilisation de "what" en anglais et en français. Le français a : ce que, ce lui, quoi et des autres. En anglais, on dit "what." Bien sûr, l'anglais a des choses bizarres, aussi. Les adverbes peuvent changer la signification. Look up, look into, look out, et cetera. En français, il y a mots différentes pour chaque chose et on utilise les adverbes moins que en anglais. Malheureusement, je dois étudier ces choses. Est-ce que les francophones font erreurs avec ce qui, ce que, ce dont et quoi ?December 4, 201220
First notebook entry: Introducing myself
It`s my/a great pleasure to be here. I can`t waiting to meet people and talk to them on this website, which makes me so excited.[1] I love English and cravefor improving to improve my English to the level of native speakers. Speaking English makes me so happy that I wish I can could talk to native speakers everyday.
By the way, I love basketball so much a lot and it is LeBron James in the NBA who I adore most. [2]
Looking for anyone who likes would like[3] to talk to me. So have a nice day, everyone!1 Are you trying to say meeting people and talking to them makes you excited? OR that the website makes you excited? Without the comma, it means the website excites you.
2 This sentence is kind of awkward. It would be better to say "By the way, I love basketball a lot. I adore LeBron James from the NBA the most." <em>or</em> "By the way, I love basketball. Of the NBA, I adore LeBron James the most."
3 "Looking for anyone who likes to talk to me" implies that they have already talked to you. (For example: your friends like to talk to you, but you don't know if some random person on the internet would like to talk to you.)
Blue - It sounds a bit odd, but it's okay.
/word A word that would sound more "natural" (to my American ears) but isn't the only correct word.
---------
Sorry, my corrections are most likely confusing.
Also a warning that even though I have a good grasp of the English language, since it's my mother tongue, I do not necessarily know "proper" syntax. xD
0 votedNovember 1, 20121My Favourite food...
My favourite food is Adana Kebap, of course. Besides, I'm from Adana and this city is famous for Kebap.
I like eating it so much, because I like meat and while I am chewing it, I feel very good. :)
If you come (or visit) a restaurant in Adana for tasting Kebap, you will see amazing serving service. Youu feel as if all personals the employees/staff [1] in this restaurant works for just just for you. While you are waiting for your kebap, [2] they serve at least four kinds of salads and all of them are free (generally). When you start to eat salads suddenly your kebap is served with a unique and appetizing decoration/flair/presentation/arrangement [1] wiew.
And finally, when the perfect taste of kebap has reached your tongue, you should just close your eyes and enjoy your life. You will notice that you start to live then. :)
, To sum up, you must really try to taste Adana kebap in a Turkish restaurant. You won't be regretful! for it ("You won't be regretful" works, but someone ---at least in America--- is more likely to say, "You won't regret it!")------
[1] Use either word in the word/word/word list.
[2] Punctuation like . , ! ? should have no space between them and the last word, but then need a space after them.

I swathed ("Swathed" means wrapped in layers of fabric and I'm not sure what word you wanted here.) on the TV when athletes were marching on the stadium. The difference between London and my city is 10 hours. (Time difference? If so, you should say "the time difference.")
After the Ceremony ended, I tried to find a video on internet, but there were not none. Some day I will see the Ceremony, but I won't feel the union unity and happiness with all there the rest of the world.____
You're English is pretty good. Sorry you missed the Olympics! I didn't see them either, but I'm not too interested in them.
0 votedJuly 28, 20122- La Voluntaire J’aurais fait des bénévolats pour une organisation qui fait les camps pour des enfants pendant l’été. Nous avons 5 voluntaires dans le jour, en général, et 4 personelles. Les deux semaines avant cette semaine était un camp de théâtre. Ils ont mis la production «The Wizard of Oz». Le camp était comme faisant du babysitting. Nous avons eu 42 enfants ! Cette semaine et le semaine prochaine sont camp d’écologie. Nous avons 21 enfants. Je suis heureuse. Très heureuse. Nous ensignons les enfants de recyclage et énergie reconductible. En plus, nous s’aide avec le maths. J’ai fais bénévolat pour environ 384 heures cet été (les toutes pendant le 3 semaines dernières). J’éspère elles vont bénéficier à moi au futur.July 27, 201230
Midnight & awake Sunny. - 20120726
For a couple of years (or "For the last couple years"), I have been become ("been" works but "become" sounds better) used to sleeping in late. Now it has becomes (The simple past of become is became, but "became" sounds weird in this sentence.) a habit, probably a bad one.
It is 11:25pm now. After a few emails and reviewing some pictures, I started missing some friends, those who were quite important to me before but now all of us are busy with our own lives. (This is a run on sentence. This just means the sentence is long and perhaps should be broken into smaller bits... but I don't really think it needs to be broken up.)
Sometimes I felt (Instead of "felt," "would feel" sounds better.) I was silly when they talked about marriage and kids. Ridiculously, I still have a feeling that I prefer a simple life as teenagers do. I don't want to think too much about the future, it may would only make me feel tense. I want a natural life, during which I can take my job easy, I can fall in love and be together with one person until end of my life.
It made makes me sad when hearing I hear about people die dying in accidents. Life is so tender ("Tender" works, but "precious" would be better.). I cannot promise about tomorrow even. Then shouldn't I be brave to avoid any potential regrets?
In the meantime, I cannot help being rational in ("In" works but one usually says "to some degree") some degree. I am an adult, I need to consider carefully about my life plan. I need to consider my life plan carefully <em>or</em> I need to carefully consider my life plan.
I am not sure whether this is related to human intelligence. People always have to find balanced approach.
Some subconsciousness reminded me how I need encouragement sometimes, especially when I feel tired and alone. I cannot turn the negative moods into positive ones all by myself. Is this the real me?
I started to think naively -- if I got had nothing to do in the daytime, I felt lost. I wanted to get something well done and someone told me: Sunny, you are smart. (Are you talking about a past event here? Or are you saying what you want? Because if you are talking about what you want, you should say "...and someone to tell me: Sunny, you are smart."
I think I have some weakness, whenever I meet something uncertain, I will be less confident. I am not an aggressive one person. ("One" works but would usually be used to refer to children, or if what the "one" is was defined previously. For example: "The warriors had been walking for seven days in a row. Henry, the drummer boy, was not a resilient one and had trouble keeping up," although this isn't the best example... xD.)
Moods can be affected by physical status. I wish I can ("Can" sounds a bit unatural in my ear but it works.) feel much better tomorrow.-----

I am learning, because my work all thinks we should all talk in English.
My native language is Portuguese, and I grew up in Brazil.
I enjoy play squash and running.----
Pretty good. Although the part about your work thinking you should talk in English, I didn't quite understand. Did you mean what I corrected it into? Also, instead of "talk in" you could say "speak" or "speak in."
Names are always capitilized. English is the name of a language. (Although, English isn't always capitilized when used as an adjective.)
