Hey I'm Cory and I'm an italki teacher. I'm also an avid language learner. Unfortunately I'm not currently looking for any language partners at the moment. I became interested in learning languages in 2012 after travelling to Berlin and on my return discovering polyglots online. Now I'm trying to learn a new language every year. I started with German, then Russian, Spanish, Dutch and at the end of 2016 I started French. If you're new to language learning here's a few quick tips: 1- Don't worry about making mistakes 2- Learn at least a little bit everyday (15mins or more is great!) 3- Listen to the language you're learning as much as possible 4- Don't forget to practice speaking out loud (even if it's to yourself!) I'm available for lessons, please check my teacher profile. - https://www.italki.com/teacher/987788 - Instagram @corylearns

Bedankt voor de interessante voorlichting over indoor en outdoor klimmen Cory! En voor het delen van je ervaring als 'professionele' klimmer. ^_^ Je hebt het goed en helder uitgelegd en zelf heb ik er ook veel van opgestoken. Hier en daar was het wel even zoeken naar woorden, maar dat is logisch. Ik heb trouwens een vriend die in het Verenigd Koninkrijk studeert daarover ingelicht. En hij klonk er best wel enthousiast over. Ik hoop dat hij een leuke klimhal kan vinden. Ik kijk uit naar onze volgende conversatie! Groetjes uit Rotterdam! :D

    About my job

    I am an 18 years old student, so I can not have a full-time job. About a half year ago I decided to become a tutor, so now I help other students, who are studying in school. My major is in applied mathematics, because of it I can help my students with understanding to understand mathematical concepts. I think I do it well and I can see the result of my efforts: they improved their marks in school. I love my occupation, 'cause I see that it makes sense. It is the most powerful and enjoyable feeling when you can help someone.


    If you shorten "because" you should use an "apostrophe = ' " you can also spell it like 'cos , but these are not officially correct spellings, and are much more colloquial, so I wouldn't use them in a test! :)


    Tutoring is a very rewarding experience :) keep up with the writing too! I notice that you have made a few errors with indefinite articles, so it would be a good idea for you to investigate how and when to use these to improve your speaking and writing.

    About snoring

    It’s what happens to me these days. I am a high school student, who needs to study hard on my academic without a doubt .After finishing my dinner and some daily routines, I always burn the midnight oil, studying until 1 a.m..

    When I go to bed, my Mom sleeps is already asleep.

    However, here comes a problem, that my Mom almost snores almost every night, which brings about a great deal lacking of my sleeping time (the phrase doesn't quite sound right, here are some possible options) . ---> which has a negative impact on my sleep  // which enormously reduces my sleeping time  // which creates a number of problems, such as reducing my (total) sleeping time

    I can sleep less than three hours a day, and it not only makes me feel exhausted but I also suffer from immune illnesses.

    Two methods can be used to deal with this condition --> There are two methods that can deal with this condition / situation. One is waking up my Mom up, another is buying earplugs.I choose the latter one, because I don’t want to bother her.

    On the other hand, instead of the followings, what makes me frightened is a disease which it’s has symptoms that are identical to what my Mom has undergoing called”Sleep Apnea”. It may cause somebody forget breathing suddenly --> to suddenly forget to breath/ to suddenly stop breathing. One of the evident symptoms is irregular snoring between extremely loudly and quite very quietly snoring, and it also negatively influences on sleeping quality.

    Fortunately, the situation can be improved by dieting or sleeping on one’s side.



    to wake somebody up ---     I woke my mum up last night, she wasn't very happy

                                                    Gary woke his friend up by throwing water on his face.

    Forgetfulness

    As a man left the cafe, Maria saw that his phone was still on the table. What could she do?
    As soon as she realized, she called the man to help him, but it was too late. She took the phone and she ran out onto the street to look for him. The man had disappeared. Maria tried to unlock the phone but she couldn't, so she thought about putting an advertisement in the newspaper.
    Maria waited for several weeks until   finally she decided to take the phone to the police.
    When she arrived a police man informed her that the man was looking for his telephone. He was very grateful and he called Maria to give her thanks  for helping him.

    Again, I was misunderstood:(

    I know that there are cultural differences between countries and nations. I realize that a good habit here, might be considered a bad habit there. I didn't mean to be an intruder when I asked my pen-friend on Facebook, " Does your husband live in the US without his parents?". She said, "Unfortunately, yes."
    Two days later, her mother replied to my comment in a harsh language that it is not my business to ask such a question / such a thing. She described me as a rude person because I asked that question. I wouldn't have asked such a question if I knew that her daughter would be bothered by it. We talk to each other from time to time and she tells me personal issues. In fact, her daughter initiated contact with me and sent me a friendship request a year ago. She wanted to get to know Iraqi people because her father was an Iraqi. I suppose that if I was rude my friend must respond to that rudeness not her mother.


    It can be difficult learning what may offend people from one country to the next, but I think even different families within one country may have their own opinion on what they find offensive or intrusive.

    My dream

    When I was in school I dreamed of becoming a petroleum engineer. I was studying hard to get high scores in order to follow my dreams. But every year the work/material/topic began to get harder (more difficult). Like in the second year of high school when I failed. It was the first time in my life that I had failed at school. After this, l lost hope of achieving my dream because I started to hate chemistry and physics. So this is one of the reasons that made me let go of my dream. When I was in 12th grade I got 91% in chapter two and l was one of the top students in the class. In the last chapter I got 85%. Now I plan to study administration and economics.


    Good luck with your studies!

    When I was at school we learned both German and French, we only started in secondary school and for the first 3 years we switched between French and German every 6 months - which was very confusing! Then at the end of year 9 (age 13-14) - we had the option to choose 1 or 2  languages to keep learning and there was also the choice to start Spanish. It's different now though, and I know that only French and Spanish is available, the languages you learn depend on the school you're in, but I would say French is the most common language.

    but it's better in German to do - verb + gerne = I like + verb  / es ist besser auf Deutsch, "Verb + gerne" zu machen-- Die Bedeutung: etw glücklich machen/tun

    ---> Am Sonntag koche ich gerne mit meinem Partner


    Am Sonnabend mag ich es auf eine Kneipe zu gehen.  --> in eine Kneipe gehen

    or ---> Am Sonnabend gehe ich gerne in eine Kneipe

    Being agreeable at the work place?

    Some people are able to be assertive with people that they regularly spend time with, in a personal environment. That is the case if they are couples and friends, but when it comes to the workplace some people find themselves unable to stand up or ask for what they want or say "no" to what they don´t want (to do). They try artificially to keep a smile on their face in order to avoid being asked what is happening to them and are forced to respond with "I don´t want to talk about it".
    However, they should give it a try and stop being so agreeable. This would allow them to enjoy more the time spent at the workplace more and, in the long run, this would  not only would lead to increased productivity but also to better relations with others. Co-workers would perceive them in a better manner and increase their respect for then. Being able to say no, regardless of our desire to be agreeable is something to practice every day.


    I think you make a good point, we shouldn't always say yes to things!
