I am a native English speaker from the U.S. looking for German language partners of any level or nationality. I am learning just for the joy of it, with the goal of becoming fluent in everyday conversation. I have been reading good books in German and am making progress in speaking. I don't mind just shooting the breeze, or we can talk about things that matter. I am also interested in native Spanish conversation partners. My level is intermediate, and I can speak with basic fluency. My goal is to advance and sharpen up, to be able to say anything.

    A possible re-write, given the parallel structure set up by "of an" toward the end: psychoanalytic concepts . . . can be used as tools to think about how meaning operates in the cultural reception--not of an individual artist’s psyche--but rather of an artwork.

    It can help to focus strongly on one of the languages you are studying, maybe on the one you like the most, and treat the others as if they are just for fun. But this might not help if you are getting grades for all of this and you want straight A's! The best state of mind for learning is to be relaxed and attentive. Do the things that keep you in that mood.

    It is when someone is keeping their amusement hidden from others. The salesman must have been laughing up his sleeve when he sold me this damaged floor model at full price.

    The sentence makes sense but is also a bit odd. There are two bits that might have confused you. First the 'he' who is listening is not the same person who has talked his way into getting a job. But maybe you understood that. Second, this use of 'himself' feels like a conversational way of speaking. It looks like a reflexive voice construction, as in he got himself a job. To 'talk himself into a job' is not something I am used to seeing, but I understand it and believe it is a legitimate way to express oneself in English.

    It is a racial term that I have not seen used in a long time. You might look at Wikepedia's entry for this one.

    You can go in and out of paying attention while you do other things, and still you are learning something about the sounds, rhythms, and expression of the language. And, when you do pay clise attention, chances are that you are listening to smart and generous people who have a lot to say.

    Beneath 'I am' you can expect to find something like 'Very Sincerely Yours, et cetera et cetera.'

    Another possibility is that the person saying this is fishing for a special favor instead of a more usual kind of payment for a service rendered.
