Trying to learn french D:

Hi! Today I am going to talk about a recent thing I am doing. I am learning French. Or trying to learn it jajaj
So this started because I love listen music, and I have a few songs in French. I wanted to know what the singers are saying, so I searched translations of the songs to Spanish and English. But I found the language so beautiful, and the pronunciation so, I don’t know, fluent and natural, that I wanted to speak French too.  I though it would be easy, trying first with the lyrics and reading them while I listen the corresponding song, but I couldn´t even pronunciate a ‘Oui’( which means yes) correctly.

Then I started searching for French lessons online. It works so much better, I learned words and their meanings. I discovered an app called Duolingo, especialized on learning languages. It helped me very much with it, because  it works making you memorizing words in different ways, for example, how to use verbs depending of the grammatical person you’re using. And the best part is that it helps with the pronunciation, making you talk to the microphone on your device. But for some reason I stopped to follow the lessons, so in consequence, I stopped learning the language.

A few days ago I downloaded the app again to my tablet, and retook the French lessons. I forgot only a few things, and now I am very excited learning again in my free time. I hope start with other languages soon, when I reach a level that allows me to understand French musicians are singing.

Pets

Hey guys! Today I am going to talk about pets I have.
Actually, I don´t have any pets, which is sad, because I love animals, but I have really bad luck when it comes to take care of a pet.
I remember my first pet, a fish called Arturo. I used to love him, but sadly, when my mother was changing the water of his fishbowl, he fell to the dishwasher, and went down the drain. I was very little, and until today, I wish Arturo had freedom in the sea, if he finished there.
Then, for a long time, I didn´t have any pet, until a little cat was given to my mom by a teacher who worked with her. We called the cat Sushi. He was a precious  golden cat, with orange lines on his fur.  And was very sweet and affective. For nothing, he approached me and purred. He was very funny too, rolling on the floor for absolutely nothing. Then, two months later, a baby dog was given to my dad. We called Diva, but at first that was funny, because she was very shy. Over time, she was one of the family, very playful and loving. Now, I don’t have any pet  because Diva run away when she found the door open, and Sushi get sick at the beginning of this year.
 I really want to have a pet now, so i am trying to get my parents approve to have one again :)
