    Do you want a free English Lesson from one of Italki's Top Teachers? I have a proposal for you: write and send a Christmas card to my Grandma (she is 92 and lives alone in England). And I will offer you a free English Lesson valid for 2024. It would be amazing to get 100 Christmas cards sent to her over the next two weeks from all around the world! Are you interested? Comment "Granny Surprise" below and I will message you with more information. Thank you and wish you all a Merry Christmas!

    Yes, in this context is a slang term, popularized on internet memes to mean: To act like, or to appear in a certain way, to say, or to offer up an excuse. Girls be like, "I hate when guys stare at me in class."

    The narrator is explaining why they are referencing this story. This kind of phrasing is used to explain the relevance of the example. Another example in a different context could be: "Would you like to pay for dinner tonight? *I only mention it because* you said last time we went out together that you insist to pay next time". Do you see how this phrase is used to connect the two ideas of: 1) would you like to pay + 2) you insisted last time. In the text it is used in the same way to connect the relevance of the first story to the connection with the narrator's daughter: 1) my family has a story of dying of typhus in the war + 2) death is in my daughter's inheritance. Hope this helps! :)

    Hi Future Me. Have you ever thought about the possibility of being able to start a conversation with anyone in the world? 🌍 Well, that's exactly what I'm looking to do! Inviting people from around the world of every language to teach me some basic phrases, and pronunciation skills and help me on a fun journey of learning new cultures and new words to connect. Future me, the Polyglot. Most English people don't speak other languages. With your help I would like to help change that. Showing what is possible to my friends and family back home, and showing the international people I meet that not all English are lazy with language. In exchange, I would be happy to offer you a 1-1 session to improve your English. I've a Professional Private English Tutor (10+ years) specialising in Confidence Building, Business English, English pronunciation and Test Preparation (IETLS etc). So if you would like to swap some time and help each other build some skills, please write down below the language you can introduce me to and I'll message back to organise the scheduling. Thank you. Merci. Gracias. Danke. Grazie. Obrigado. Mam'noon. Dhanyavaad. Xièxiè.
