Hi! I'm Max (Maxwell is my full name, which no-one calls me). I'm looking to learn Japanese, especially its spoken form, so that I can communicate with people, especially from other cultures. I was born and raised in Oregon. Right now I'm a student at the University of California.

    Poor has a lot of meanings. In general, it either means lacking money (e.g. "poor people") or of bad quality ("poorly-made", "a poor performance", etc.). Pathetic, on the other hand, almost always refers to a person, and indicates that they're hopelessly awful. It's quite a nasty word. For example: "After he got fired, he's been reduced to begging on the street. How pathetic."

    Good morning!

    Hi everyone, how's it going? One more week starts and a lot of things, will happen, good stuff and bad, but all that happen I'm here to face it.
    I wish for all good things: a lot of work and strong (strong what?).
    I'm only a student of English, that wants to improve my language skill, and I hope to be helpful for all. Thanks and have a nice day.

    All the best, bye!!!

    They're similar. "Talk to" just states that you're making words at them. "Talk with" implies that there's more of a conversation. 99% of the time they're interchangeable. Relevant: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/talk-to-versus-talk-with.aspx

    First two are the same. I prefer "seems like", but it doesn't matter. Last one is incorrect.

    I have not seen the movie. But according to Google, the phrase is "I'm a guy who's a guy being a guy." Context would help me deduce the meaning, but my guess is it's "I am a man who is acting like a man." The sentence is silly though. Edit: the full script confirms my suspicions.

    The sentence looks fine. You can definitely use verbs in the infinitive form as objects. In this case, I believe it is the indirect object of the verb "lead".
