Hi Everyone, I found a new park near my home. It really is an oasis in the desert. I enjoyed all of the greenery, the man-made stream, and the wildlife. It was very clean and very new. The paths were clearly defined and the sidewalks were flat and smooth. I thought about how important it is to maintain these places of city retreat. And how people and creatures are drawn here because of the atmosphere. We also have an "atmosphere" around us. Have you considered how to use your "atmosphere" to help to refresh others? All of us can do this. You can make changes everyday to develop and maintain your "atmosphere".😊
Hi Everyone, A new sunrise, a new day. There was no guarantee that I would wake up today, but I did, and I am grateful. Today is a new opportunity: to think better thoughts, say more encouraging words, and do things better than yesterday. I may meet someone new or rekindle an old friendship. I choose to redeem the time - to exchange time for something more valuable, not wasting time or even spending time without thought or intention. May this day have memories worth remembering!😊
Hi Everyone,With advancement in technology we have the ability to communicate all around the world. Even those in third world countries have this access and it becomes more difficult to hear of someone else's very real struggle in everyday life. However, the lessons are there to learn for us all. Some may have a very close family, but lack financial means to feed them. Others may be wealthy, but have a lack of sincere friendships. The goal is to share with one another out of our abundance. Whether it be time, talent, or treasure, we can all connect in a very real way everyday😊
Hi Everyone, The sun was so bright this morning. However, I'm sure it wasn't a bright day for everyone. So many people are hurting inside and lonely, even if they look cheerful and happy. They are not sure how to have a sincere and meaningful friendship and sometimes they do not even know who they are! I know because I used to be this way. I was playing different roles, but I didn't know my purpose, identity, or value.Life can be confusing, challenging, and painful, but you do not have to be alone. Learn how to build real friendships and interact often. Be the friend that you would like to have and enjoy every moment every day.😊
Hi Everyone,I would like you to meet Simba. He is our latest family member. Simba is 9 weeks old. He is a Yorkshire Terrier. I have never raised a puppy before, but my brother and his mother have raised many dogs. Such a polite and quiet dog. He is practically potty trained in just 2 days! I hope you all enjoy the pictures. Come by and you can even pet him😊
Hi Everyone,I had a great dinner last night to celebrate my recent birthday. The restaurant name was, "Chili's ". It was a very nice time, and I am glad to have family and friends in my life.I wish you were all here! It would really be nice to meet any of you😊. Those who are local do not stay in touch or they must find other partners. The rest of you seem just as nice and sincere, but you're there and I'm here🙄.Anyway, I really do appreciate you all! I may not have time when you have time, but I cherish the moments we can share.Thank you for being a genuine language exchange & friendship community🥲
Before sunrise today I had a very special call and became connected with a new family member here on this app. From sunrise to a Tropical Matcha Late...my birthday has been a very special day today. I look to appreciate every day, but today was special because of the special people in my life - including all of you. Most of us haven't talked yet, but the community here is amazing and full of potential.
Hello Everyone,Another amazing sunset here in Las Vegas. Even in the desert, there are things to appreciate and celebrate. The same way in life. Times may seem desolate and empty - all dried up. But If you look carefully with expectation, you can see and appreciate the beauty in your desert😊
Hi Everyone. I tried to capture the moment tonight on my evening ride. It was so breathtakingly beautiful, and yet so many people were ignorant to what was happening nearby. Seeing something so pure and amazing reminds me that there is so much more to focus on besides the drama of the world and even our lives. I want to thank you all for the connections we share. Even a brief exchange is a precious moment where we are offering the most valuable commodity in this life - time 🕑
After the storm comes a rainbow.It feels so special to see a rainbow after a storm. Why? Because it is such a rare sight that disappears quickly and it says, "The storm has passed, let's start a brand new day!" That message is so welcome and hopeful!The storms in life are known for damage, but they also clean up a lot along their path. Old branches are taken down by the wind, the flood water takes the leaves and trash away, and the plants get soaked in life-sustaining water. New branches and leaves grow, the grass gets thicker, and the flowers bloom. 💐 The storm carries away death and brings new life! The storms in life do the same thing! Learn to embrace and appreciate the benefits of storms in your personal life. They can give you strength, new life, enhanced priorities, and refined focus!
Hello everyone,Thank you for sending the sun our way! I was enjoying the beautiful sunrise when a flock of geese landed to join me!How much nicer it is to enjoy things with others. Whatever you do today, think about inviting someone to join you. it may seem like a normal task, but having someone there can help you to see it in a different way. You might even appreciate the task more through someone else's perspective. Then share the experience here with all of us. We are a community, even with our differences in opinion, age, and culture. Let's do life together and redeem our time for something worth remembering😊.
Storms in life come and go. Sometimes they are isolated and sometimes they don't show. But one thing is for sure, there is always a cure. Know that the sun is shining above the clouds and that this challenging time will surely pass. Elevate your perspective, learn from your mistakes, and grow through it! You will gain strength and experience to help others when they face bad weather in life...
This app allows for quality connections with others. Sure, there are a few who abuse the setting, but I have met some really interesting people who just want to be able to be themselves. There are too many pressures today to be someone or something you are not. It becomes boring, frustrating, and exhausting to play different roles in life. And no matter how it looks on the outside, many people are very lonely and need genuine connections with other people. Each person has areas that they could develop more and areas that they have may not need to work on at all. We are all different in a very beautiful way. Take the time to get to know one another. Celebrate the differences and help one another to grow and develop as you share languages😊Johnathan Truly Pivotal Moments (Podcasts)on 📻 ITunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts and many other venues. 🎤
Hi everyone...I am always wondering about something... sometimes it is helpful and sometimes it is distracting. In an effort to help others more efficiently, I recently reached out to some "serious" learners in my own time zone through this app. I have had zero response.. Some have checked my profile and, I guess, decided that they didn't want or need help with English...I think about some who are far away who I want to help more, but time zones and schedules do not allow us as much time as we would like...This app is great. Most in this community are sincere. I want to continue to encourage you all to find people to work with you. There are others who really want to help. They may not be the age you prefer or look the way you want, but that's ok. This is not a dating app, right? Get the help. Learn the language. Make some new friends. Expand your horizons!Take care of yourselves 😊
From Mandarin Chinese to EnglishHelping with the TH sound challenge😊One of the strong accent points when learning English as a Mandarin Chinese speaker is the TH sound. Your brain may process this challenge by making an "S" sound. This allows you to get the message across but with a strong accent. Try this simple exercise in front of a mirror. I know it seems very basic, but if you go slowly and really emphasize the TH sound, your brain will catch on and you will sound much more refined in your English😊
