How would you advertise busuu.com?

This is my last exercise in English Join busuu and you will meet people. Learn a foreign language or improve your language skills. You will find new friends around the world. Busuu is for all ages, open 24 hours and you get everything, if you want, for nothing. Busuu makes the world smaller and you will love your computer, because all your friends are in it. It's not a trick... it's busuu. I would like to thank all friends for the time and patience for correcting my excercises, even when I did for 1000 times the same mistake. I have learned a lot. I will continue learning English! You are all very good teachers. But one thing I did not learn.... how to type without erros ;-) Thank you!

That really is awesome (as the hover-five-star indicates)!

There's only one sentence I would like to change:

"I would like to thank all friends for the time and patience for correcting my excercises, even when I did for 1000 times the same mistake."

First I would add a 'my,' stretch a 'the' into a 'their,' and change a 'for' to an 'in': I would like to thank all my friends for their time and patience ~~for~~ in correcting my excercises, even when I did for 1000 times the same mistake.

Now the last part: "...even when I did for 1000 times the same mistake." This is actually quiet elegant -- but old fashioned. Alas, English is not getting more beautiful with time. Nowadays one says, "...even when I made the same mistake 1000 times." This is what people say now; it is trite, it is commonplace, it lacks the style of your construction. But your construction will seem 'foreign' to today's English ears.

So here's the amended sentence as I edit it: I would like to thank all my friends for their time and patience in correcting my excercises, even when I made the same mistake 1000 times.

Good luck Potilla! I hope you will continue to improve your English skills and, if you are still on busuu, to help me with my German.

Auf Wiedersehen!

Thank you very much, now I have to learn how to speak "real English" :-))))) Learning never stops.

I would like to thank all my friends for their time and patience in correcting my excercises, even when I made the same mistake 1000 times. / Ich möchte gerne all meinen Freunden Danken, für die Zeit und die Geduld beim korregieren meiner Übungen, auch wenn ich den selben Fehler 1000mal gemacht habe.

Thank you for your constuctive suggestions, I'm always open for it/this???

Sure I will help you with your German!!! It's a deal ! :-)

Tschüss bis bald

Well really ! I don't believe you!. Only 1000 times. I am sure I counted the same mistake more often than that. I suggest you start again from the beginning and see if you can make less mistakes! No orange bits!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you can speak English without errors, why don't come to England?. Next month might be a good time.

OR you could learn another language in Busuu . Spanish is quite a good language.

By the way , you have passed the interview. Busuu will now give you the job . You are now their PR man ( or woman) and are responsible for all their advertising.

Tschüssing.

No seriously,

Look at your first few exercises in Busuu, Remember our first few conversations and how exhausting they were for you. Then look at the way you write and speak now . English is easy. You have proved that.

Tschüssi loo!!!
