    Avoiding

    I'm avoiding writing these notes and also forcing my brain to think in English. Otherwise, I avoided watching TV shows and movies in English but now this is easier for me and turned into a custom.
    I realized that many people I spoke to also have the same problem. I have been trying to chat with several people and it is rare that they are really wanting practical help. Daily conversations. Just talk.

    ( Did I use the "otherwise" correctly? )


    Not quite ;) In this sentence, the word that fits best is "moreover" as you are giving more evidence to your statement that you avoid English.

    Examples of "otherwise":

    We need to leave now, otherwise we will miss the train.

    She talks too much, but is otherwise a nice person.

    We thought we did well on the exam, but the scores proved otherwise.

    This is not proper grammar. Often in informal, spoken language you will hear people drop the "do" as in even though it is not technically correct. The question should be, "Do you want to be my teacher?"

    Modi di dire/ Frase colloquiali Salve a tutti! Sono una studentessa della lingua italiana. Il mio italiano e' decente, ma a sto punto cerco di superare quella soglia e iniziare a parlare come gli italiani. Volevo chiedervi qualche frase o modo di dire che potrei usare nel discorso per rendere il mio italiano meno "scolastico" e piu' naturale. Grazie!

    I appreciate the professional opinion of Mr. Pinker, but I disagree that speakers who say, "I could care less" are using it ironically. Judging from my experience, I think they just don't know they are making a mistake. This is also one of my pet peeves and I always say, "I couldn't care less".

    I think the meaning of appreciation here is part "understanding of" and part "finding value in". When a person appreciates art, or humor, often the meaning is that they understand it but also view it as something valuable.

    Queste strane parole..

    Per favore! Ho bisogno d'aiuto con queste parole e frasi: "cio'" "cui" "ci mancarebbe" "ci vuole"

    So la significanza delle prime due, pero non so come usarle


    L'ultime due capiso un po; so che "ci vuole" significa "it takes" in lo senso di tempo, per essempio "Il treno ci vuole trenta minuti". Pero come posso usare questa frase con altri soggetti e tempi? Come, "I'll be ten minutes!" oppure "They're taking too long"
