New English Word #1 I decided to spend some time this year to improve my English vocabulary. I constantly struggle with finding the right words to describe certain things I want to talk about. I often finish sentences sooner than I'd like, as well. I figured that writing two or three sentences with a new word every day would help me with this problem. Today I found a word that I often come across on business websites. I'm talking about the word: coherent. I also found out that we have a Polish version of this word as well, which is: koherentny. I don't think I've ever heard anyone using it in Poland and as far as I know this word is often used in American vocabulary. The sentences I decided to write are: 1. She speaks Italian and French at an advanced level. Her private teacher said that the presentation she'd given earlier in the class was very logical and coherent. 2.The new project our marketing department presented us this morning is very informative and well built. It goes very well with our company's policy. We think that our customers will be nicely surprised as this time we focused on creating something that would be much more coherent and advanced in premise than our previous three projects. 3. My study schedule has to be much more structured and coherent for me to see any improvement on my exams. Does it make sense to say that someone is coherent? eg. She is very straightforword and coherent. I feel like these two adjectives are quite similar to each other (??) ''Her words and thoughts are coherent.''

Psychological dramas - books and movies - recommendations

Hello everyone. Is there anyone who is interested in psychological dramas? Normally, I only read non-fiction and I don't really watch any movies but I'd like to improve my Italian and Spanish. If anyone knows any interesting movies/books I'd highly appreciate your suggestions.

So far, I only watched Amores Perros, Requiem for a Dream, Million Dollar Baby and read Before I Go to Sleep and The Sense of an Ending so I probably have many options left.

What is the difference between ''coffee shops'' and ''cafés'' in America? Recently, I was talking to my friend about my plans for the next day and suddenly I didn't know which form I should use. In Poland we use the latter version and school teachers use this word as well (they teach British English pronunciation). I say ''coffee shops'' but at the same time I always feel like I'm talking about an entirely different place. The way I currently see it: * café - a smaller, quiet place; designed for meetings/working; sitting places can be located both indoors and outdoors; sometimes you can also buy beer/something to eat there. * coffee house - a place where you can buy coffee products, you can also sit down and drink but this place is much more crowded, employees let you select coffee beans before you order your coffee, mostly indoors, usually located in shopping centers, 10/15+ people/3minutes in the afternoon. I also came across this sentence: ''... a gritty little coffee shop and cafe in Hartsville, South Carolina.'' so it doesn't really help...

Are these words still used in Am. English? I constantly come up with words that sometimes are not really used in American English anymore (or at all...). Words like ''to inculcate'' or '' to covet.'' I started using the website called ''wordandphrase'' but recently I came across some words on Forbes that I've never seen before. to mount up -> ''The tasks quickly mount up...'' Can I use this word interchangeably with ''to mount''? For example: ''The tension before the exams was mounting/mounting up.'' backlog -> This is the first time I've seen this word and I've read dozens of articles about time/project management. If you don't use this word on a daily, what other word can I use instead? The word ''aim'' can be used interchangeably with ''goal'', right? perfunctory -> His answer was incredibly perfunctory. apprehension/apprehensive -> The sales representative dispelled all of their apprehensions.(?) or ''I am really apprehensive about moving across the country.'' bleak -> Their future is looking really bleak.

Aprendiendo italiano de nuevo y un libro sobre neurosciencia 1. Ayer decidí empezar a aprender italiano una vez más. Empecé aprender esto idioma en 2016/hace un año, pero después de varias meses/más tarde decidí a concentrarme en mejorar mi inglés y ruso. 2. Ahora mi ruso es mucho mejor entonces puedo volver (to go back to) a aprender italiano. Sé muchas palabras, pero tengo aún más problemas con gramática. 3. Hasta el fin del año quiero obtener un nivel principio (entre A2 y B1). Ahora tengo que concentrarme en escritura, repetición de grammatica y ver (?) videos. 4. Desafortunadamente noté que ahora tengo pequeños problemas a pensar (?) en español. 5. Ayer yo también comencé a meditar después de cinco días de procrastinación y definitivamente veo algunos mejoramientos en mi concentración. Sin mencionar, mi calidad de sueño es mucho mejor quando medito treinta minutos por la noche, después de aprender las idiomas y trabajo. 6. Mañana tengo que terminar un libro que estoy leyendo ahora y necesito encontrar un nuevo. El libro es sobre algo entre (about something between?) desarollo personal y neurosciencias y es imprescindible para las personas que quieren cambiar su personaje y ser más productivo, directo y decisivo. 7. El nuevo libro que quiero leer es sobre psicópatas y sociópatas. Hace varios meses hablé con mi amigo, quien trabaja cómo el psiquiatra, y su discurso (?*) me incitó a aprender más sobre estos asuntos. (We were talking in a group of friends but he was the one who indirectly encouraged me to learn more about it... Which word can I use in this situation?)

Las frases en el Pretérito Indefinido 1. Ayer tu hablaste con mi hermana, ¿por qué no supe nada? Tengo un libro ella necesita leer hasta lunes. 2. ¿Tú viviste en esta ciudad, verdad? (My grammar book says that I need to add a specific time if I want to use this tense... Do I have to use it, or does it work the same way Past Simple works in English? So I simply say something happened in the past and it doesn't affect the present in any way. I guess the only exception is when I want to use ''nosotros''?) 3. Él no estuvo acostumbrado a hablar en frente de grupos grandes y por eso su primero discurso no fue demasiado bueno. (How can I say: ''to speak in front of people'' → ''hablar frente de la gente'' doesn't sound too good, I guess...) 4. Ayer nosotros repetimos varias veces cómo preparar esta presentación, pero ellos aún no saben cómo hacerlo. 5. ¿Sabes dónde está nuestro cuaderno con todos los apuntes de mi trabajo? Hace dos días lo dejamos en la oficina principal. (We left it in the main office?) 6. ¿No supieron que la primera parte del discurso comenzó a las 11 de la mañana? 7. ¿No supieron que la primera parte del discurso ha comenzado a las 8 de la mañana?/hace dos horas? 8. ¿Ya estuvisteis en un encuentro (at the meeting) con el gerente? 9. ¿Averiguasteis cómo mejorar tus notas en la escuela? (Have you figured out... - I don't know if it's the correct word.) 10. Esto fue un gran reto para nuestra empresa.

Pretérito Indefinido 1. Él año pasado decidí empezar a aprender japonés pero tengo muchos problemas con gramática y todavía no puedo hablar con fluidez. 2. La semana pasada ella habló con un cliente muy adinerado en la empresa y ahora está muy contenta y orgullosa porque tiene la posibilidad de ganar 40% más cada mes hasta el fin del año. 3. Ayer tuve que trabajar todo el día. Estoy pensando en tomar un día libre hoy. 4. En 2014 decidieron a empezar un negocio nuevo. Esto fue una decisión muy buena y lucrativa. 5. ¿Ella compró los libros yo mencioné ayer? Necesito empezar a estudiar pero todavía no tengo los materiales. 6. Repetí estas palabras 7 veces pero todavía no puedo recordarlos. 7. Vi estas películas varias veces (several times) y ahora necesito encontrar (find) algunas nuevas (new ones). 8. Ellos estuvieron en Varsovia durante los seminarios de negocios pero dicen que fueron muy aburridos y sin valor. 9. Ellos no necesitan incitarme a leer este libro. Me gusta mucho a leer los no ficción libros por ejemplo del desarrollo personal, negocios, márketing o NLP. 10. Hace dos días él intento a vender algunos productos similares durante la presentación pero pienso que la gente no quiere comprarlos. What is the difference between: ''pensar en/de/sobre'' and ''creer de''? I guess the second one and ''pensar de/sobre'' can be used when we're talking about things/opinions/ideas, right? And the first when we're thinking about people...(?) But is there any difference I should be aware of when it comes to using proper words to talk about ideas or opinions?
