Hello everyone! I have been fortunate to be able to travel a good bit around the world and I LOVE learning languages. I am Ryan and I am from the USA. I can help anyone in English (and Spanish), and I can help you learn easily because I have experience as a language teacher. SOUTH AMERICA: I came to South America and fell in love with Colombia and BRAZIL! I had such good times there! Spanish and Portuguese... Let's talk! / Conversamos pues! / Falamos então! EUROPE: I absolutely loved Poland, Czech Republic, and Ukraine. I hope to come back soon! Also want to visit Russia.... I don't know a lot in these languages though, I hope to learn them! : ) GERMANY: Some of my favorite composers and philosophers wrote in German and so eventually I need to learn this language... Prost! ; )

    Yeah, unfortunately it's pretty arbitrary and you have to learn as you go... But it seems that for most 'online' or technology communication devices, when we are doing something we say we are "on". For example, "Are you on Facebook?" "Shhhh be quiet I'm on the phone!" "I'm chatting on WhatsApp", etc. If you stored a phone number, though, you would say "I have your number in my cell." But if I did the action and called you, I'd say "I'll call you on your cell."

    Hey Angelica!

    You did well on this exercise, just a couple of punctuation corrections to note:

    ---

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hi I'm Angelica, and I am learning English because I love this language. My native language is Brazilian Portuguese. I love reading books and learning new things.

     

    --

    Note: You want to make verbs in a series parallel, so that they match. So if you say "I love reading", the next verb in the series should be "-ing" to match "reading"... that's why you say "I love reading books and learning new things."

     

    Good job! Parabens! :)

    You did well on this entry, just a few things to take note of. Also, a few times I didn't know what you wanted to say.

    Good morning!

    Hello,here in Brazil it is morning.So ,good morning! I'm very interested in the new year.It isn't so far (I don't know what you mean?).Each time we are always making some plans and a lot of people just say in their lives: I will change everything next year.But I think they forget that change is so special and it doesn't have to be tomorrow or after tomorrow or just in 2013 at all. ever this is close.
    We have to change everyday,step by step,suddently, not very fast but fast enough. We have to be polite,help people and take care of about our health everyday.We can say good things all the time. We don't have to wait for certain dates because even without these dates we are living and we only live once!If you want say somehing,just say it now!

    Good vibrations!Kisses! (I don't know what you mean good vibrations? But I understand kisses! kkkk)

    By the way, the only thing to correct in your entry is we don't say "warmy". We just say "warm."

    ...

    Happy New Year for all of us!

    Hello 2013! Hello summer! Hello warm weather! I love my hot country!

    Hey Tiago -- You did well on this, just a few corrections. I especially like the quote at the end! -Ryan

    --

    "I miss" is not "saudade".

    During most part of my life I believed that the word "SAUDADE" would be the most difficult word to translate into any language. But that is not true, there are others more difficult. Anyways,''SAUDADE" is still in the roll of among these special words.
    In english people say "I miss you", and this is the closest meaning, but I think the difference is in the fact that "saudade" don't be isn't a verb. I feel "saudade", it is abstract. (The noun miss is used for error, by mistake. In that case is even more far of saudade. ).
    I think that<em></em> is the magic of the languages, each of them has your their singularity. If I could create a new language, I certainly would invent a only unique word to describe the pleasure of crossing the bridge that separates people, called idiom (not sure what you mean here?).

    When the saudade doesn't fitin the heart, it overflows through eyes.
