Hi, I'm Peruvian, thanks for your video, but I have 3 sentences please someone help me with this parallel struture
1. A second language is very important for your career, building international relationships, and to travel.
2. Last month, we went to Brazil, visited museums, eat good food, and learn to dance the Samba.
3. Susan is an excellent dancer, but average singer.

[@kspaans]

Hey there! Here is how I would revise those sentences:
1. A second language is very important for work, international relationships, and travel.
2. Last month, we went to Brazil, visited museums, ate good food, and learned to dance the Samba.
3. Susan is an excellent dancer but an average singer.
I hope this helps!
