Hi there! I´m Portuguese. I went to London on January and it was soooo cool :) London is beautiful and i loved the architecture. Unfortunately i just stayed a couple of days and i didn´t see much... Although i didn´t visit museums i saw Big Ban, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Oxford Street, Piccadilly circus, the Buckingham Palace... i hope it will be a next time – but with more days of course! ;)
By the way... this website is very useful. I really admire your work and I hope you guys can help me to improve my English. This is important to me. Sadly, i don´t have much free time to hear the conversations and do the exercises but i´ll try!

I never have been there, but I hope to go there very soon. exactly, I do not more things about London. But I guess It is so beautiful and historical place. also, I have heard that British people are so cold and unfriendly. I think London is very traditional place, it has so strong culture. for example, they have their special disciplines for eating dinner or lunch over a table. they have to seat in a straight way, they can not speak with each other during eating. they can not make any noise when they are eating soup, they have some different size of spoons and forks and knives for eating. I think it would be so difficult at this way I want to have my dinner.
also, I know that they drink too much tea each evening. they put some milk inside their tea.
Hello everyone, My name is Giancarlo, and I´m from Lima-Peru. This time is Summer here, since December to March or April, and today is a hot day, with 26°C. Also I want to improve mi English skill, mainly in speaking and listening, and this is my first post in this website. Lima is the biggest city in Peru, with almost 10 million of habitants. In all Peru, we are 30 million of people, and in the biggest cities such a Lima, Trujillo, Arequipa the principal problem is the traffic jam. For me it´s horrible all mornings when I have to go to work, because there a lot of taxies, buses, motorbike, etc. Badly we don´t have a under train, like Europe or the USA. But luckily, the problem is only in the morning from 7am to 10am, and afternoon after job from 6pm to 8pm. If you want to make tourist here, you can go to Lima´s center, there are several museums, traditional churches, etc. Also in Miraflores you can learn surfing, there are some academies where you can practice surfing, bodyboard, etc. In that place You can practice paragliding too, it´s very exiting because you fly over the sea , and it´s not very expensive USS $30 per hour. Well, but if you want to dancing and meet new people, you should go to Asia Boulevard, it´s a small city a 1 and half hour from Lima, but it´s very nice site, with beatiful beaches, hotels, resorts and discoteques. And don´t forget visiting Cusco, where there are a lot of historical places such as Sacsayhuaman and Machupichu, this later is considered the 7th wonder of the world. Well, thanks a lot, if you have any question, please post it.

Hello Giancarlo,
That's a great description of Lima! I've never been to Peru, but you really make it come alive in my head.
