Profile
I live in the United States, but was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada. I speak English, but also learned French most of my life and lived in Quebec for 5 years. I have my Master's degree in Classics, majoring in both Latin and ancient Greek language. I studied German as well for about 4 years. I have wanted to learn Italian for many years, since I teach about Roman history and Latin everyday. I was planning a trip to Italy this past summer, but was unable to go due to pregnancy, but reaching Italy and studying Italian formally is still my goal. I am married with 2 young girls, and just had my son in Sept. they are learning Spanish and French and it is important to me that they learn languages and about the world.

    Many of the strange forms for body parts are because many of the terms were originally neuter nouns in Latin, which were dropped for the most part from Romance languages. In Latin, the neuter plural always ends in -a-. for example, -bracchium> bracchia. Other Latin neuter body parts are:

    -labrum-lip

    -genu-knee

    -os-bone

    Vocabulary for body parts in Latin spans 5 different nouns groups and therefore a variety of possible plural endings. Body parts are common vocabulary, but when spoken by most people the plural forms were confusing and that is why they are all over the place in most Romance languages.

    you can say 'blocking people from contact with each other' or 'blocking people from contacting each other'. here 'with' and 'from' are used to mean the same thing..with=combining and from=separating. so you keep people from 'combining' or you 'separate' them.

    I made suggestions in [ ] and changed a few things:) A captivating fact [about] being a kid is the almost non-existent responsibilities. On the contrary, adults have a lot of responsibilities. Your responsibilities as a kid were few and simple. You basically were forced by your mom to make your bed, sweep the floor and do dishes, [albeit] rarely. You have to admit, kids live in heaven, but they aren’t aware of this. On the other hand, adults have a lot of responsibilities, for example, when you are an adult, you have to clean the house, tidy the rooms, mop the floor, make the beds, do the shopping, take the rubbish [garbage] out, do the ironing, make breakfast, make lunch, make dinner and believe me, there are more chores to do.

    "to have someone's back" means to watch out for someone, protect someone. In the US we commonly say "I've got your back."

    "Hi, I'm Cathy" / "Hi, my name is Cathy". "I'm Cathy" is just more casual or informal. I use both methods

    in this example 'that' is being used to indicate a result. "It was so hot today that I nearly fainted." the use of such, so is usually an indicator of a result.
