I enjoy languages and primarily learn languages to make friends and travel. I am interested in more languages than the ones I am able to list so feel free to ask! I enjoy experimenting with learning methods and also like applying them to students in English. I combine my interests with language learning so it feels more like fun than studying.

    It means to use it in a way that is very general and is often used in an ironic way. "They were using the term loosely when the called this a 'conference.' Its a disorganized mess." "They served us.... (and I am using the term losely) ... a "lunch" midway through, but it was literally a banana and a soda." "They had a bunch of so called experts giving presentations on random topics, but the presentations were amateur. They really used the term expert losely."

    Number 1 is the most correct, though the first letter likely should be capitalized (A.) There needs to be a comma after etc.

    I would say “It’s high time that…” + noun+verb is more common where I am from.

    I plan to continue focusing on my speaking skills and prepare my Spanish for a trip to Spain and my German for a B2 or C1 exam.[Image]

    Yes Su.ki., Specifically when it is made out of a bendable material am I more likely to call it a tin (I am thinking of the pie pans we typically buy and throw away after baking in them once.)

    A cookie tin is another example I still use too. I am not settled on whether this is because of the shape (low and wide unlike a can which is taller and shorter) or because of it specifically being cookies and associated with old people who are more likely to have used “Tin” around me.

    Yes- a tin is any metal receptacle which includes but isn’t limited to a can but usually of a lighter and malleable material. I often use or hear it with relation to something you put coins in or for baking (like a lightweight cake or muffin tin as differentiated from a heavier pan.)

    We use can more often than tin but in my head it depends more on how heavy the material is.

    I would probably ask them if they made a mistake. “Did you mean to say _____?” “Since I am studying your language I want to clarify if this is correct.”

    If it’s sloppy mistakes from a teacher soliciting me I would probably let them know why I won’t have them as a teacher.

    The likelihood of me getting snarky about it depends on the person and my previous interactions/ opinion of them.

    Pound at the door and pound the pavement are the only times this word has a meaning that doesn’t border on inappropriate in my mind. To hit/ To beat are the two words that distance themselves from the meanings that swirl in my mind with the word “pound” and still have the meaning of Schlagen.

    I have never heard any of the other expressions but I have heard “Go pound sand” and now I am not sure whether this is supposed to have a sexual meaning or be a refinement of the rubble one you mention above. But in either case it is considered fairly rude like “Buzz off” or the similar phrase with the F word.
