Let me be your English friend! I read lots of books and have traveled to over thirty countries. I do the New York Times crossword puzzle every day, so if you are advanced we could work on that together. I work as a nurse but also have a university degree in business administration. I am well-versed in English grammar and can explain technical details of usage, or we can speak colloquially about pop music... I'm hoping to learn French through conversations with interesting native speakers. I speak survival Spanish and Korean as well if anyone speaking those languages is interested in an exchange.

    What happened in this article? http://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2016/01/30/la-jeune-femme-retrouvee-morte-a-levis-portee-a-son-dernier-repos I understand that the girl died at a party, and I think it was on January 23, but why does it say it was a Christmas party? Did she die a long time ago and they just found her body now?

    D'accord?!? Est-ce qu'il y a des autres façons qu'on peut dire "D'accord" pendant in conversation? Je trouve que je suis comme un disque rayé des fois...

    Keeping someone on the straight and narrow is keeping them living a morally correct life. He's saying his wife stopped him from doing the things that men do sometimes without the influence of a good woman (drinking, drugs, bar fights, you know the drill...)

    I would normally just start attending up and say "Excuse me". There is no real need to turn it into a question.

    Wow. This was honestly better with than I think most native speakers could manage. A few grammar errors which give it away that you are not perfectly fluent but I am so impressed with your vocabulary.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions about the corrections I made and I can explain the technical reasons for the changes. 

     

     

    Learning foreign languages is a waste of time and money

    We live in time of globalization when knowledge of several languages is very valuable. Nevertheless, some people believe that learning languages is useless.

    In my opinion, learning foreign languages is an investment in the future. Firstly, having language skills gives you advantages when you get a job. You become a more skillful employee and can get a well-paying, interesting job. Secondly, it expands your mind as you learn about different cultures and traditions. Finally, you can use foreign languages while traveling. For example you can communicate with foreigners, you will never get lost, and you will be able to place an order in a restaurant or book a room in a hotel.

    However, a lot of people consider learning foreign languages meaningless. They think that it is rather expensive and it may be useless in the future because you may never have an opportunity to use it.

    Personally, I do not agree with this point of view, because there are lots of cheap ways of studying a new language. You can, for example, use the Internet to communicate with native speakers, read foreign books, and listen to audiobooks to improve your language skills. Moreover, you can use a new language while staying in your own country. For example while doing your job, translating lovely a song or watching foreign movies.

    In conclusion, I want to stress that learning foreign languages is very useful as it can help you to live in the modern world and to be a successful and developed person.

    I read the other two responses and they are good but I want to make it more clear to you how the two phrases can mean very different things. If someone says "She has played piano since 2005" that can only mean that she started taking lessons and has played regularly since then. If someone says "She has been playing piano since 2005" because of the context you know that it means the same thing as the above sentence, BUT it could also mean that she has been playing piano continuously since 2005. This sets up a good English joke actually... If someone were to say "I have been playing piano since 2005" you could say "Wow, your hands must be tired!" Maybe nobody will laugh but at least you showed how well you understand English.

    "Finding even the largest change was difficult for me" is very natural and also grammatically correct.

    Usually people say "Roll up the sidewalks". B means that things close down for the night in New York but in Las Vegas everything is always open.

    We also say "grade". A typical conversation would be something like: "What grade did you get on your paper?" "I got an 8/10." Or: "What was your mark?" "Only 4/10. That teacher hates me." Most commonly students would just say: "What did you get on the English paper?" "6/10"
