    Aly is right; I'm just going into more detail. When someone says, "Don't get me started," it is usually a mock warning. The expression suggests that they have sooo much to say about a particular subject, you don't really want to listen to all that they have to say about it.

    I'm tired of feeling the pressure. I'm tired of not having fun. I'm tired of worrying.

    Yes, it is an expression. It's generally used when people are discussing different options. It basically means, "What do you have to say about this?" It's used to ask for someone's opinion in a conversation.

    You would use "there is no" when you are referring to an object without putting an article (a, an, or the) before the object. For example: There is no way to get around that boulder. You are referring to "way," but you did not put "a," "an," or "the" in front of it. You would use "there is not" when you are referring to an object and you DO put an article before the object. For example: There is not a way to get around that boulder. You are still referring to "way," but you have used the article "a" in front of it. I really hope I was able to help. :)

    Essentially, there are two basic definitions of "for" that I can think of. One-the way "for" is used in your example-is a reference to something, whether it is time, a thing, or a person. Example: I got a pair of shoes for my friend. The other use of "for" would imply cause and effect between two things. Example: I went to the store, for I was out of milk. I hope this helps. :)

    There really isn't a difference. "What about" is simply more proper that "how about." In fact, "how about" isn't really proper English, but you might use it when talking to friends; it's kind of like a widely accepted slang term.

    The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer is surprisingly easy to get lost in.

    If you're listening to recordings, though, you obviously can't ask them to slow down. In that case, I would say you just have to keep on practicing. It should become easier as you hear it more. It may also become easier as you increase your English vocabulary. :)

    When you use "by," it means that something will happen no later than a specified time. For example, if a teacher gives me a project for class, the teacher may say that I need to have that project finished "by" September 3. In this case, I can finish the project any time before September 3, but it must be finished no later than September 3. When you use "until," it means that something must happen before something else can happen. For example, my mother may say that I cannot go to my friend's house until I clean my room. In this case, I must clean my room before I can go to my friend's house. I hope I was able to help. :)

    When would you use "dir" or "mir" as opposed to using "mich" or "dich?"
