- Hi Alex! You are right. "Mother tongue" is a metaphorical English idiom used to refer to someone's native language. We don't usually say phrases like "my first tongue," "my second tongue," or "the tongue of my country," so the word "tongue" by itself is not necessarily interchangeable with "language." You could technically use the word "tongue" in this way in creative writing, but it is not common in casual daily conversations. "Mother tongue" is the complete idiom, metaphorically saying the person was raised to speak that language from birth. There are no "stupid" questions. (: Stay curious, and happy learning!0 votedOctober 26, 20211
- Hi Alina! I love this conversation topic because not everyone agrees on what love is and how it is expressed. By understanding these differences in opinion, we can actually create a more loving relationship with others! Apparently there are five major love languages: acts of service, words of affirmation, quality time, gift giving, and physical touch. Sometimes we struggle in our relationships because we are not speaking the same love language. This doesn't have to be a deal-breaker though! My top love language is acts of service and my partner's top love language is quality time. Since we discovered this, we are better able to understand each other's needs and express our love in a way that is satisfying to the other! There is a quiz you can take online to learn which love languages you subconsciously desire to hear. Thanks for posting a great conversation topic! Wishing you all the best.0 votedOctober 22, 20210
- I do yoga twice a week. It is very useful because when you focus on your body, you don’t think about the bad emotions and stuff that concerns you. Do it for a minimum of 5 minutes and gradually increase the time to 15 minutes. You will notice the benefits. The more you practice, the better you will feel.0 votedOctober 22, 20211

- Hi Mari! This post is very well written for a non-native speaker, but there is always room for improvement! I offer a lesson specifically on writing in English if you are interested. You can click on my profile for more information! I'm also happy to help you with your listening skills. I am a native English speaker, but I live in a very diverse place with lots of immigrants. Most of my family members are also immigrants! Because of this, I have become very good at interpreting what people are trying to say even when it isn't "proper" or "natural" English. When people are speaking English as a second or third language, they tend to use words and phrases differently because they are translating from their cultural worldview. Expanding your vocabulary can help with this. There are so many combinations of words that can be used to express one thought! Feel free to send me a message if you are interested in working together towards your goals. I'm wishing you the best of luck and hope to hear from you soon!0 votedOctober 22, 20210

- Hello everyone 😆 Yesterday we had a listening and speaking test in English. 🗣👂Both were difficult for me. Listening is especially difficult. Recently I get use to do English daily conversation. But I need to listen and study a lot of English. I'm still halfway up the mountain.😫0 votedOctober 22, 20210
- Hi Tura! I've always wanted to go mushroom hunting. I haven't done so because there are a lot of slugs and snails in my area and they carry a disease called rat lung-worm. I've scared they have crawled on the mushrooms and I might contract it if I eat them. I hope to meet an expert forager one day so I can learn how to hunt mushrooms safely!0 votedOctober 22, 20212
- Hi Chihiro! The rules vary depending on the context. For example, let's say you are writing an essay and want to reference the source of your information. For complete bodies of work such as books or newspapers, you will italicize the letters. If you are referencing a shorter work such as an article, journal, poem, or short story, you will put the title in quotation marks. If you are titling an original body of work that you wrote, the rules are different. You do not need to italicize or use quotation marks. Document titles are usually written in all upper case or title case. Title case capitalizes the principal words of importance and leaves prepositions, articles, and conjunctions in lowercase. However, the first word of the title is always capitalized even if it is not a principal word. For example: 500 Days of Summer Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind And Still I Rise The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet (notice how "and" is not capitalized unless it starts the title) I hope this helps!0 votedOctober 17, 20210
