    Help with my German!! Helfen Sie mir bitte!! Does the following make sense? First I'll put the English version and then my German translation. English: In my freetime I like to watch movies, play the piano, and play sports. Last weekend I watched "The Girl Who Played With Fire" with my roommate. We both liked the movie, but I didn't like it as much as the first movie in the series. This week I have also watched "127 Hours," which is also a good movie, but is very disturbing at the end. I like to play the piano often. This week I have learned to play a new song - "Clocks" by Coldplay. I also know how to play a few others songs that I have learned recently, including "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds, "100 Years" by Five For Fighting, and several more. This weekend I am going home and I am very excited! I don't know exactly what I am going to do, but later next week I'm meeting up with a friend and we are going to visit another friend at UMass Amherst. Of course, I am also going to practice speaking German over Spring Vacation. German: In meiner Freizeit Ich mag, um Filme anzusehen, Klavier spielen und Sport treiben. Letztes Wochenende sah ich "The Girl Who Played With Fire" mit meinem Mitbewohner. Wir beide mochte den Film, aber ich mochte es nicht so viel wie der erste Film in der Reihe. Diese Woche habe ich auch gesehen "127 Hours", das ist auch ein guter Film, aber gefiel mir überhaupt am Ende. Ich mag das Klavier oft zu spielen. Diese Woche habe ich gelernt, ein neues Lied zu spielen - "Clocks" von Coldplay. Ich weiß auch, wie man ein paar andere Songs, die ich vor kurzem, auch "der glücklichste" von Ben Folds, "100 Years" von Five For Fighting, und einige mehr spielen gelernt. Dieses Wochenende habe ich gehe nach Hause und ich bin sehr aufgeregt! Ich weiß nicht genau, was ich tun werde, später aber nächste Woche treffe ich mich mit einem Freund und wir werden einen anderen Freund zu besuchen UMass Amherst. Außerdem habe ich vor zu studieren, damit ich weiter bekommen können.

    Open publications are often faulty, as they publish undeveloped and premature ideas into the public domain. (I've tweaked your wording a little bit - this would mean the same thing, but sound much more fluid) Hope this helps!!

    Learning English is very important in todays society, so I must get better at speaking English.  Daddy told me that if I learn English very well, I can do anything I want to (ex: get a good job, make friends, etc.).  I don't want to give up any chance to learn English.  I know that, in order to learn English, I need to know a lot of words and use them well in sentences, but I always forget the words that I have just learned.  I feel quite sad because I already do my best!  Now I have another chance, by joining italki, to learn more English.  I will try my best, trust me!

    The two phrases mean the same thing. However, it is mor common to say "I'm thinking of you" when you're talking to someone like an old friend or a close relative who you have not seen for a long time. No matter which phrase you use, it will have the same meaning. One just sounds more natural in different contexts, which is best taught by practice.

    Correction: "I have a question." (not "I have such question") I don't really understand what you are asking. Could you phrase it differently?

    "An" goes before a word starting with "u" when the sound sounds like the u in "umbrella" - the 'uh' sound - but not before user, university - words with the 'yu' sound. Hope that helps!

    You're right. "Is being" wouldn't work here. "It is going to be this December" makes sense, but it could still be "It is this December." English is my native language, and this is giving me a little trouble, because it could be either answer depending on what question is being asked to yield this answer. If I had to choose, I would choose "It is this December" because it sounds like this could be the answer to a question such as "When is the concert?"

    Chance and opportunity, in the context you are thinking, have very similar meanings. When getting more specific, chance involves luck. Opportunity is more something that you earn. Hope that helps!
