Last month I was awarded my PhD in Health Psychology. I have a teaching qualification and more life experiences than I care to remember. I frequently travel around France, mainly by motorcycle, but my french has never progressed beyond ordering a beer or a room. Now I have the time and energy to change that. If any native French speakers are starting their English studies and wish mutual support, I'm here and excited to begin.

    Yes it's fine but more often it would be both written and said in the form Today I went ...... Today I am going ....... Today I bought .... but as you've written, you could also say I bought ........ earlier today I went to .........this morning / this afternoon Mapk

    I enjoyed the fact I was able to read Animal Farm as a children's tale as a child but read it at a commentary on a political system as an adult. Very clever Having read Animal Farm and 1984 many times over the years, starting in school it was only last year I was introduced to Down and out in Paris and London, that was brilliant, especially his description of life in Paris

    Hi, many native English speakers struggle with stream of consciousness novels. I don't mind Woolf but I detest Joyce. I do however love Marcel Proust. Go figure, an Englishman preferring a French author :-) If I was forced to pick a Woolf novel it would be "To the Lighthouse" as much to do with the fact it is supposedly based partly on her childhood memories of a lighthouse near where I live, not where set in the book

    Talk aloud to yourself. Each time I walk my dog I use it as an excuse to talk both sides of a conversation. I do occasionaly get some funny looks but I'm learning something as I exercise. Its a win win plus it gives your mouth muscles practice as forming the often unnuatural shapes your asking of them

     

    Good luck

    I'll answer the parts not covered by Merlyn Perceived - is the interpretation of something or thing in a particular way, so two people may perceive something/someone in a different way. Utility - I need the context to answer this one accurately but my best answer at the moment - how useful or beneficial it is Therefore perceived utility - how the value of whatever is being talked about is accessed or interpreted. Sacrifice - again context is required but in normal meaning - giving up something of value, even ones life Moving on to threads and zips Zips are the rows of metal teeth connecting parts of garments together https://goo.gl/BjIRMQ Threads - as it relates to zips and clothing - the cotton used in sowing to joined garment pieces together Hope that helps Mark
