A friend of mine recommended this site and I'm nervous about this, in a good way! I am a native English speaker living in southern California. I am able to help with English and I can try to answer any questions you may have about American culture, too. I listen to a lot of obscure music and try to keep up on my German (it's a hobby). I love how German sounds, I can't explain it, I just find it fascinating. I want to become better at it, learning a language is extremely slow and difficult, but it's incredibly rewarding when new vocabulary and concepts stick with you. I practice with Duolingo. I feel for people learning English since all of the common verbs are irregular :/

    Local specialities that we should know about I think experiencing a culture through cuisine is a great starting point. What is a local dish you would encourage someone to try? Why do you recommend it?

    There is a whole world out there filled with many familiar and fascinating things. I think food is a great way to learn about a culture. Everyone needs it and tastes are a great familiar starting point. Concepts are like food (bread!) in the sense that they are prepared differently yet can resemble something very familiar and may even do it better justice than the way you have been experiencing it. I've learned some outstanding idioms and sayings learning a language. Some languages have words for concepts that take a sentence in my native tongue where others just sound cool.

    I prefer brevity, have just seems like filler.

    It depends on the context. English has many words for concepts which are more appropriate in different settings, for example soil makes a great candidate for a technical use. Earth is more archaic and in my opinion would make an excellent choice for prose.
