    Hi Vika - "Dry your hands with the towel" is the only one that makes sense to me. You can wash up, but that is specifically washing dishes, not your hands! For part 2, you would "hang the t-shirt on a string so it can dry"

    In what are you need of? = What are you in need of? He didn’t pass the examination for need of knowledge. = He didn't pass the examination for lack of knowledge It's very useful to know foreign language. = It's very useful to know a foreign language OR it's very useful to know foreign languages. Both mean virtually the same thing. Is it any good running in the morning? = Is running in the morning any good?

    The revisions are correct! Remember that you don't put a space before a comma, only after.

    Step by step.

    Now, I'm trying to improve my English, but I have a little problem that despairs me! When I read a book or I watch a film with subtitles I understand almost all of the words and I understand that they are talking, but when I'm watching a tv or a film without subtitles it's very difficult for me to keep up/understand all the words and phrases, but when I active the subtitles I can keep up with each word although I don't understand the meaning of some of them 
    Some things influence this: The accent of the people ( It's most difficult for me to understand an American English speakers and Scottish), themes they are speaking about, speed...
    But when I was in London, I understood them better than I thought, I understand better when I'm face to face with English speakers than when I see them on TV or in a film.

    You have to be careful with this as there are two simliar sounding phrases that mean different things. "To have [someone] in your pocket" means you have complete control over them. This is frequently used in football (soccer) games e.g. "The defender had the attacker in his pocket the whole game" meaning the defender was in complete control of the attacker "To have [something] in your BACK pocket" means you have the option of using that thing (which can be a person) in a situation where it is perhaps unexpected but will give you an advantage. Similar to the phrase "To have [something] up your sleeve" - an example would be "I'm giving a presentation to these Japanese executives this afternoon - if I really want to impress them, I've got Bob in my back pocket who speaks fluent Japanese"

    Using the example for "he" it can either be: He overdid it He has overdone it (which can be abbreviated to "he's overdone it") "He overdid it" refers more to a past action - "he has overdone it" would make the action (whatever he has overdone) seem more current, if the "overdoing" was even happen at this very moment.

    "Clean freak" and "neat freak" are both acceptable - I would use "clean freak" in this situation as it refers more to germs (you can also use the phrase "germaphobe" in this situation) - "neat freak" is more about ensuring things are tidy and in order.

    Study

    This was a sad and busy month. It still is not over. I have a lot work not much time to make it all perfect. But I strive to do it. The last year in the university isn't easy.
    When I have finished and graduated, I want to travel to learn Languages and start with my specialisation.
    The next few years I will stay very busy.

    Mi historia de idiomas Hola a todos! Aquí está la historia de como estoy aprendiendo Español. Cuando estaba en el instituto, aprendí un poco de frances - pero tuve que aprenderlo y la verdad es que no recuerdo de nada! Unos cuantos años después, conocí a una chica Española (ella estaría mi novia), y con ella empecé de aprender Español! Tomé un curso cuando era universitario, pero poco tiempo después cuando acabé de terminar de la universidad, lo dejamos y dejé de aprender Español...hasta 2014! El año pasado, decidí que debo empezar otra vez. Descargé Duolingo, Coffee Break Spanish y Memrise, así que desde ese día no he hecho más que progresar! Fui a Madrid en octubre (hablé mucho Español allí) y ya he reservado un curso en Valencia durante tres semanas este Septiembre! Adiós y hasta luego! Chris
