Hi! I was born in South Africa but I have lived in the U.S. most my life. I grew up speaking Afrikaans at home and I consider myself fluent though not perfect, and I have a funny accent :) I took Spanish in high school and I would love to be fluent one day, however I am currently focusing on Dutch. I'd like to travel to Europe one day so I figure this is a good language to start with since I know a lot of the vocab already! A little about me--I'm 22 and I'm studying veterinary medicine. I like outdoors sports like hiking and snowboarding, and I play the guitar :) Let me know if you want to trade some English for Dutch practice!

    I think in which is more grammatically correct but if you said where, anyone would understand you. I'm in college and this is one of those things even college students have a hard time with in their writing.

    That sounds like slang for surprising someone suddenly with something. Dropped on me could also be "sprung on me" but both of these phrases are extremely informal and some places may not use these. Young people would probably be the only people to use that phrase.

    I would say "I am five dollars short! I need another five." ("A five" being slang for a five dollar bill.) You could probably say my change is 5 short but I wouldn't say I got five short. I am would be better.
