🛑 Stop apologising for your English! How often do you find yourself saying, "I’m sorry, my English is bad"? When you apologise, you are telling your brain to focus on your mistakes instead of on your message. You are creating a mental block before you even finish your sentence. Why you should stop saying "Sorry" • It kills your confidence - It makes you feel ‘less than’ the person you’re talking to. • It creates stress - You become hyper-focused on grammar instead of the conversation. • You are learning another language. That’s a superpower, not a mistake! 💡 Try these Power Swaps instead: • ❌ Sorry for my bad English. • ✅ Thank you for your patience while I explain this. • ❌ I don't know the word, sorry. • ✅ How do you say [your idea] in English?

Hello, how does the booking system work?

Start the new year with a fun challenge instead of another “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Why not learn a new language and surprise everyone (including yourself)? You might mix up your words, but at least you’ll get some good laughs. Learning a language this year could be your funniest and smartest decision yet. Go ahead — give it a try and see where your new words take you!

Hi everyone 😊 I’m Kaishuang (you can also call me Clara), a Chinese teacher new on italki. I enjoy helping students speak Chinese step by step. Happy to be here! What part of Chinese do you want to improve? Speaking? Listening? Reading?

Can I use these interchangeably? It's better to stay apart for a while. It's better that we stay apart for a while. It's better if we stay apart for a while. It would be better if we stayed apart for a while.

Today, I heard surprising information. One of my favorite writer said that he is going to publish a newest novel; “Life hates me.” The writer name is Iori Kannzaki. I introduced him when I was writing the second post of “italki.” He also made a song which has the same title of this novel about ten years ago. The lyrics of this song is very too hard to listen happily because there are so many words that are screaming people’s anger, sorrow, hates and resignation for their living society. “ Do not say I want to die, never give to live up. It is ridiculous to say that a song like that is correct.” I love these lyrics because they teach us that they are pretty words. I think that hey are the same meaning as saying “ Die” for people who wants to live more. He is often singing the screams instead of us who are not digesting their true emotions. Moreover, he also encourages us when he sings the last main part. “ You and me will die someday, but we are desperately living. Be alive!” When I am tired to live, I always listen to this marvelous song. Shall we sing this song together?

These days, I have improved in discipline myself. However, I still sleep for 10 hours, tend to avoid learning hard things or procrastinate all the time because of laziness. Yet somehow, my mother and people around me think I am hard working. Anyway, I know the truth and I will be as hard working as a normal person.
