Спасибо! Я понимала!))

Having to use an adverb like "many"/"much"/"a lot of" etc. depends on the context. Examples: After the flood, there was a lot of water in the house. There are many people in the mall today. There are a few people in the store, but not many. There are weird rules for these words though. Here are some of the major ones: "Many" is for things you can COUNT. (People, spoons, cars, whatever) You can't use it with words like "water" or something because you can't count "water" unless you are talking about glasses of water or something. "Too many" means that there is an excessive amount. "Much" is usually used with negatives. "I don't know much Russian" or "There isn't much food here" etc. "Too much" is similar to "too many" in that in means an excessive amount. "Too much" vs. "too many" "Too many" is used for countable items" (People, cars, etc." "Too much" is used for NON-countable items (water, food, etc.) "A lot of" can be used for count AND non-count nouns (a lot of water, a lot of people, etc.) "Any" can only be used after a negative. It is called a "negative polarity item" so you can only use it with negative phrases like "There aren't any people here." Does that make sense? )) If you have more questions then lemme know!

Since this is out of context it is a little hard to translate, but this is what came up with. I was able to take a photo along with a group of lovely ladies wearing Ao Dai (traditional Vietnamese dresses) who were very helpful as extras. Next time I want to come to Korea in private.

This is a metaphorical expression in English. When you "hold a mirror up to" something it means you are going to examine it and think about it. If you look at words in English it may make more sense. The purpose of a mirror is to "reflect" right? In English the word "reflect" can not just mean "bound back light" but it can also mean "think about deeply" or "consider." Therefore, when you are "reflecting on linguistics" it means you're thinking about linguistics deeply and examining it's nature more closely. Does that make sense? :-)
