Hi! My name is Nicki. I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. I am certified as a professional teacher in Art, but language was always a love of mine. I almost went to school to be a spanish teacher instead of art! I can hold a basic conversation in Spanish and can understand a good amount more than I can speak. I can also interpret a little Italian from practicing with my grandfather, but I would love to teach you English. I would do so in a way that would help you blend right in with Americans! Looking forward to working together!

- Hey there, hope this helps! 1The doctor will treat you/ treat your injury soon. Which is correct? Both are correct, it depends how you want to say it. 2 I am quitting the job. Is the sentence correct? You would not say "the job" you would say either; "I am quitting", or "I quit", or "I quit this job" or "I quit my job" (past tense) If so, why can’t I say: I am loving you. The correct way to say this is " I am in love with you " or "I love you", but if I'm misinterpreting what you are trying to say, you could also phrase it as : "I have been loving you____(too long, too much etc) or "I am loving you to the best of my ability", or "I am loving you the wrong way" if you are only trying to express that you feel love for someone, it is in its simplest form; I love you. 3 Do not barge through the railway gates. Violators are subject to a fine between 500 and 1000 dollars and will be taken to court should any accidents arise. Please correct the sentence to make it sound idiomatic. Idiomatic, in American English, could be something like as follows : Do not pass beyond this point. Violators are subject to a 500-1000 dollar fine and or legal action. Let me know if you are interested in English lessons, I'd love to chat :) Nicki0 votedSeptember 21, 20161
- Hi there, Don't make it too complicated for yourself, they both mean the same! The word "before" in this context simply means "at some point in the past". **Before can also be used other ways** However (in my opinion) "I did it before" does not sound very educated and might not be grammatically correct. I'm sure people do say it this way. "I've done it before" is a better way of stating it. Here are some examples : Have you been to London before? Yes, I have! Have you ever done something like this before? No, never! I've done this kind of work before, but it was never this hard! Oh, really? Let me know if this helps!!0 votedAugust 4, 20165
- Hey Rubem, good question! In my opinion, there isn't a huge difference. Sometimes, it just "sounds better" (or more formal) to say "spoke with" instead of "talked to". To me, speaking with someone implies it COULD be a more serious matter.. You could say : I'll speak with him ( could be serious ) I'll talk to him I talked to him I talked with him We spoke about ____ We talked yesterday We had a talk today We'll talk about this later the "with" and "to" do not change the actual meaning. Its one of those things where there are many different options. In casual conversation, I do not use "spoke" very often.0 votedAugust 4, 20162
- Hi Sonia - Its an expression of confidence or victory or doubt against someone. To say "I didn't think so" means "I know I'm right" Example : Two men sitting down at a bar get into a verbal fight. They stand and one man realizes the other is much larger and more powerful than him. The powerful man might say "Yea, I didn't think so!" (as the weaker man slowly sits down) meaning "yea, I knew you weren't going to be able to fight me! Go ahead and take a seat" Its just an abbreviated way of expressing "I knew" or confidence or doubt in your favor Hoping this helped! I use this phrase probably a few times a year.0 votedAugust 4, 20163
- Lizeta, I haven't heard this phrase either. It might not be common. I would assume it means they are not technically qualified but they are "good" at what they do. Also, I wanted to correct your phrasing of the question. You would say instead : What does the phrase ____________ mean? I tried to translate the phrase but it doesn't make sense. :)0 votedAugust 2, 20162
