My name is Johanna and I'm currently learning the Japanese language to build more opportunities for myself in the future as a doctor. I'm currently studying independently on language due to lack of selection in my region. I came to iTalki to help, study, and achieve my goals as well as others upon this site. Currently I'm learning - Japanese Any assistance would be great though but if any questions relating to Spanish and English, you are free to do so. I do have a Skype account.

    my new beginning

    Hello everyone, I am a freshman in from China and English is my major.I feel confused to about my future because I don’t know what my future will be. My English is not very well and I am poor in English words, listening, and grammar. The first English class in my university, my English teacher asked our us to listen to a radio and notice listen to the information in order to writing (write ) them it down on the blank parts of the article. I had tried my best to do it but I just wrote a little. and it makes me upset. I am an English language learner but I couldn’t do it well. However ,I will not give it up. I believe that it is my new beginning and I just need time to struggle for it .

    ---------------------------

    Advice: 

     "my english is poor in words, listening, and writing." 

    Words and writing are in the same category so you dont have to write both down (They're both grammatical).  Also, one way you could write down the sentence is like this:

    "My english is poor  grammatically and verbally." 

    Grammar has to do with writing, words, and how to spell or structure. "Verbally" or Verbal refers to how youre saying words, such as pronounciation and sentence structures.

    The word our refers to when you both have something of the same item/thing/member

    for example: 

    our cat / our cats / our dog / our dogs / our homework / our teacher 

    The word "us" is when you're refering yourself and other people with you such as a date, group, or family towards a problem or action. 

    For example: 

    The teacher asked us to do our homework. / My mom joined us at the mall. / The dog chased us at the park. / 


    Structuring sentences: 

    When writing sentences, make sure not to cause run on sentences. Example:

    "I am eating and I am watching television"

    "I like cats and I like dogs"

    The reason why this is considered incorrect is because "I am" and "I like" is being used more than once for actions that represent you or what you're doing. 

    The correct term:

    "I am eating and watching television"

    "I like cats and dogs."

    -----

    I hope my advice helps you a little. I tried my best to explain in my own words so it could be just a bit easier for you to understand. Im proud that you're not giving up in english, someday you'll get there!!

    Last movie I saw at the movie theater was Insidious.

    I'm never going to watch the movie again, it was really scary.

    I love watching romance movies with my friends. At the end of each movie, either we end up crying together from how beautiful the movie was or talk endlessly about it  until the next day. hahaha.

    In America, we are very open with cultures. Also, many people love sports, celebrate national holidays such as the 4th of July, and all types of music.

    I love tattoos. I don't have any though, but I do have thoughts of having one.
