Hi, I’m Ian! I own a digital marketing agency, I have two kids, I am a singer songwriter, and I love to travel and eat all of the local food I can. I think before going somewhere new it’s important to have some knowledge of the local language and culture, otherwise there’s so much you miss out on! I am gay, so learning about the gay culture and slang of a new language is another fun challenge! I love watching Drag Race, and will soon start watching Drag Race Mexico to learn more. If you are a native Spanish speaker and want to learn more about how to talk about gay stuff in English I might be able to help :) So far I’ve traveled to Peru and Tenerife, as well as speaking Spanish with extended family from Mexico and Honduras. I can talk a bit about myself in Spanish, but listening and understanding is still a major challenge for me.

    I like Subway.

    I used to work at the Subway. (You would use "the" if you were referring to a specific Subway)

    I don't like sandwiches very much.

    I've never been go to the Subway, before i worked there.

    But the Subway sandwich was yummy.

    Company was provide provided 1 sandwich on 1 per day, so i ate it everyday.

    I quit the that part time job, 1 month ago.

    I miss that taste.

    Sometimes i still go to the Subway!

    It is not ad.. ;-)

    In this context "backs up" isn't meaning "to move in reverse" or "backwards" but rather is talking about traffic congestion. If cars are stopped in traffic from Buckingham Fountain to McCormick Place you should take different roads. IE "Traffic is backed up from Buckingham Fountain to McCormick place", or "Cars are backed up from x to y". The idea is that they hit a spot where they have to stop, and all of the cars behind that stopping point are "backed up". Like when your sink or toilet gets full and starts overflowing.
