I recently started studying Spanish in 2021. I have been studying Italian since 2016. I like to travel and I would like to live and work abroad some day. I am studying for a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning. I like reading, gardening, cooking, sewing, knitting, meditating, writing, hiking, cycling, and photography. I hate plastic, processed food, and pollution.

    In the US Pacific Northwest, we say "it's pouring down rain." We also say, "it's pouring" "It's pouring outside," "It's raining cats and dogs," "the rain is pouring down," or "the rain is really coming down." But never "It is pouring with rain." "When it rains it pours" is an expression that means things happen all at once, or come quickly. It is not usually used to describe rain.

    I agree with Tutor Michelle. The grammar is good, but could be improved by moving the last clause. All English speakers would understand this sentence as it is. However, we don't "do sport" we "play sports."

    Vegetables and Fruits

    Today I learned a lot of words for vegetables and fruits. The sweet fruits include apple, watermelon, and peach. The sour fruits include lemon and lime. And some others are both with sweet and sour, like orange, grape, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, and cherry. Durian is a special fruit I haven't eaten before. I can't eat when I meet the flavor [I'm not sure what you mean "I don't know the flavor because I haven't eaten it" or "I can't eat it if the smell is too strong"??]. But my teacher told me it tastes very good.

    Vegetables are very hard for me. I know corn, cucumber, potato, and cabbage, but we have a lot of types of lettuce, beans, and mushrooms [There is always more to learn!]. The last problem is that I think tomatoes are fruit<s>, have</s> --does anybody agree with me? [You are correct: tomatoes are technically fruit but we call them vegetables because they aren't sweet or sour.]

    [good job. Keep learning. Let me know if you have any questions about my corrections.]

    My husband and I were supposed to take pictures of steam locomotives from Oschatz to Kemmlitz

    My husband and I were <s>supposed</s> planning to take pictures of steam locomotives from Oschatz to Kemmlitz, from sunrise to sunset. But <s>we found</s> the steam locomotives broke down at 11:00 in the morning and after that the diesel ran until sunset instead. My husband was really disappointed and stopped <s>to </s>taking pictures <s>of them</s> and <s>moved</s> went [?I am unsure of your meaning here] to Quedlinburg. <s>But</s> Unfortunately the steam locomotives had finished running. I told him to go to Wernigerode to see the Christmas market. Many shops <s>opened</s> were open and we ate kebabs, fried cauliflower and Wurst bread. They were very tasty. Not <s>so</s> many people spoke <s>in</s> English. I enjoyed a romantic and fantastic <s>time</s> outing. [or "I had a great time during our romantic outing/day/adventure."

    [Well done. Minor errors. Sounds fun. Let me know if you have any questions about my corrections.]

    I’m American and I’ve never heard “to stan,” but I am not a hip hop fan and middle-aged. Brand names become verbs or nouns, e.g., Xerox and Band-Aid. Apparently (I had to look this up) some common nouns have come from people’s names, e.g., cardigan, boycott, Shirley Temple, graham cracker, sax, dahlia, bloomers, mesmerize, gerrymandering, silhouette, leotard.
