My pleasure! Best of luck to you moving forward. Владимир: You want to say "Thank you for the response" instead of "Thank you for the respond." Have a great day!

"Brewskis." Slang for beer. Kind of dated, you may be better off just saying "Had some beer," or "Had a few beers."

Hey Ben.  Here is an idea to consider: Take a class on Italki and record it with some free recording software from the web, (and the teacher's permission) then listen to it over and over again until your next class. Listen to it while driving, exercizing, walking the dog, etc. The teacher will repeat the word you didn't know, and give you the English translation so you essentially have a ready made vocab study list. The places you come up short in conversation  with the native speaker are the places you want to concentrate. there are thousands of words being used in any language. the only way to truely get that number down to something manageable, is to converse regularly and see where you fall short. Good luck!

From is not needed. You have to ask her.

Your better off just saying "I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you said." The speaker will naturally try again with shorter sentences and easier vocabulary. Good luck!

Ask: "Would you mind if I practiced my English with you?" When you ask this, the listener should be more helpful and use easier vocabulary with you. Good luck!

For can be used in place of the Spanish words "Por," y "Para." One use of "for" is to indicate the intended recipient. Here are some examples: I brought a gift for you. The letter is for me. I knitted a sweater for my Father I worked for the government Another use of "For" is to indicate a period of time: I worked for three days I walked for three weeks I studied in france for three years. I've been learning English for a long time. "By" also has more than one use. It can be used to indicate the individual who did an action. The car was pushed by John It can also indicate close proximity "Stand by me." "By" can also indicate when an action expects to be completed in the future: "I will be home by 9pm" You must finish by 3pm. By now, I expect you to know the answer.
