I'm Fraser and I'm originally Scottish but am now Canadian. My first language is English and I want to learn French because I like language and also because Canada is a bilingual country. On italki I want to practice speaking French and help others to speak English. Je m'appelle Fraser et je suis d'origine ecossais, mais maintenant j'habite au Canada. Ma langue maternelle est l'anglais et je veux apprendre le français parce que j'aime les langues, et aussi parce que le Canada est un pays bilangue. Sur italki je voudrais pratiquer parler français, et aide les autres à parler anglais.

    "To sort out" usually means "to fix" or "to correct", either a problem or a situation. For example, "I sorted out the problem with the car". "To deal with" is more general and means "to handle" or "to cope". It could mean "to fix" but that is not required. For example "I dealt with the difficult customer" or "I am dealing with the death of my father". Phrasal verbs are very difficult. :-(

    I think it means that lavender is often used as a scent for soap, so food with lavender might seem like soap.

    I think she is speaking metaphorically. She is comparing some other situation to Cyber Monday.

    "I slightly opened the door" is better. "I left the door slightly ajar" would also be good. "I partially opened the door" would so be fine. Usually putting the adverb before the verb sounds better than at the end of the sentence, especially when there are two verbs, because it can be unclear which verb the adverb applies to. For example "I grabbed and threw the ball quickly." Did I quickly grab it or quickly throw it?

    I think you're trying to say "I'll sue someone for smearing me at work".

    Other than the literal meaning, I'm not sure. The whole text sounds awkward, like it was written by a non-native speaker. Where does the text come from?

    I would say "It's my turn to tell you something" rather than "It's my time"

    It depends on the context but usually it means "almost succeeded".

    Magasin is any kind of shop or store. Épicerie is a shop that sells groceries. It's also usually a small shop, such as a local shop. A larger one would be called supermarché.

    You can also say "you made my day". Avoid using "sunshine" for a person in the UK. It's a little disrespectful and is usually used ironically.
