Great post, I'm actually studying English Teaching so if you need any help, don't hesitate in asking me anything, as a matter of fact I was thinking in start teaching by my own, so if anyone is interested in private and individual lessons, please send me a private message, I can go to your household or a place of your convinience so I can give you cheap classes due I haven't finished my major yet, I was thinking in a rate of $5 per hour, normal rate is $10 per hour. I learned english since I was a child and my grandmother is from New York so my english is about a 95% written, oral and reading skills, I have worked in several call centers as well, so I would be able to provide you with tips and tricks.




Do you agree or are you all in agreement both are correct. Remember english the simplest it is the better it sounds.



Sounds good, even do fine is not wrong good sounds better !



that's the attitude buddy go for it without shameless, but as an advice try to think in english when making the sentences not in spanish remember the order of adjectives si completly different



Here you would need to say: I'm a technician in computer systems no s in computer and I learned in past... english no the

As Vinfoster said before the apostrophe is very very important you shouldn't forget about it, other wise the word will have no sense.

Dudes, try to avoid the use of contractions (e.g. don't) because they are supposed to be used ************SPAM/BANNEAR************ when speaking (oral); use "do not" instead, this is the correct way to write in this language.

Regarding the use of person and people:

Person: singular form (just one) that person is defecating in public.

People: plural form (more than one) that people ARE fucking in the park.

Note the ARE is used after people, do not use IS.

I can help you in written English since I work with emails every fucking day!

Hey guys, what if we set the first rule in the club: Writing in Spanish or any language other than English is not allowed. We can create the first topic 100% in English in this forum. It can help us to improve our skills, our main goal. What do you think?

Maybe we can writte about different topics already present in the forum. But example, have you played in the Men vs Women?

What do you think about it? Have you seen a funny punishment?

FOR example, have you EVER played in the Men vs Women?

Hey people, this is a great idea! I have been majoring in English Teaching since 2013 and I can help you, as well you can help me because I want to improve also. . . I do a lot of mistakes too!
I use every single opportunity I have to write in English, because "the more you write, the better you will write", that is the reason why I am here .
I propose to choose a controversial topic, in that way, we will be more interested in the conversation. Maybe:
Soccer?
Politics?
Abortion?
Same-sex marriage?
Eutanasia?
Why Justin Bieber sucks?
Who is the best musician and why?
I do not know, there are plenty of topics to talk about!





A native speaker told me to avoid the over-use of "the" before nouns. We, as native Spanish speakers, tend to do that A LOT!


---
Also, I want to share this with you, maybe some of you do not know this, and it can help you . Taken from: ?Learnt? or ?learned?? - Oxford Dictionaries (Español).

‘Learnt’ or ‘learned’?

These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. ‘Learnt’is more common in British English, and ‘learned’ in American English. There are a number of verbs of this type (burn, dream, kneel, lean, leap, spell, spill, spoil etc.). They are all irregular verbs, and this is a part of their irregularity.

Hey people, this is a great idea! I have been majoring in English Teaching since 2013 (so instead of and) and I can help you,(no comma before "as well", or ommitting "well" completely, then it would come like: ...as you can help me too.) as well you can help me because (since or hence better than because (para que suene mas natural y bonito)) I want to improve (improve ...as well). . . I do a lot of mistakes too! (I commit a lot of mistaked too) (y de hecho aqui aplica decirlo asi: I TOO commit a lot of mistakes) Too refiriendose a "tambien" se puede usar perfectamente en media oración y no solo al final dependiendo del contexto. Esa es una diferencia entre also y too, digamos:

Voy a necesitar una laptop buena y que sea barata, y una desktop / I am going to need a realible laptop, it must be cheap, also a desktop.

-Yo tuve una laptop IBM Core 94 / I had a IBM Core 94 laptop.

-Yo tambien tuve una de esas! / I TOO had one of those.

Also incluye mas los predicados anteriores, TOO empieza mas desde predicado inmediato. Igual esto es puuuuura practica y mucha lectura, pero para que suena mas cache jajajaja


I use every single opportunity I have to write in English, because (since) "the more you write, the better you will write", that is the reason why I am here .
I propose to choose (PICK), choose es mas cuando se escoge de un grupo, en ese caso sería que propusieramos varios temas primero despues we choose, a controversial topic, in that way, we will be more interested in the conversation. Maybe (perhaps):
Soccer?
Politics?
Abortion?
Same-sex marriage?
Eutanasia?
Why Justin Bieber sucks?
Who is the best musician and why?
I do not know, there are plenty of topics to talk about!

La idea es usar palabras poco usadas.

Nice, this remembered me of a professor who used to say that we shouldn't come to English lessons just to "practice our Spanish". Hahaha . . .

There is a random question I had while writing this: Is there a difference between "lessons" and "classes"? Also between "professor" and "teacher"?
