Hi. I studied German at university though it was never ‘my major’. I loved it! I spent a year abroad in Germany and around the same time started studying Spanish alongside my main studies (maths). I left university and trained as a teacher. I didn’t study any languages for a year, then I did a Master’s degree during which I studied Arabic and French ‘on the side’. Then I returned to teaching for a couple years and took another break from language learning. Now I work as a data analyst and I’m studying Spanish again!

    It's fine in a local context, for example if you live in a large city, and "the countryside" is implicitly referring to a particular part of the countryside near your city. Likewise, you could "visit the city" if you live in the countryside near a particular city.

    All are correct :) To express the future (as in these examples) the following are interchangeable: (1) WILL... "I will buy the car tomorrow" or "I'll buy the car tomorrow" (2) AM/IS/ARE GOING TO... "I am going to buy the car tomorrow" or "I'm going to buy the car tomorrow" (3*) CONTINUOUS PRESENT TENSE... "I am buying the car tomorrow" or "I'm buying the car tomorrow" (4*) SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE... "I buy the car tomorrow" *the present tense used for the future is not always correct, and generally indicates a higher degree of certainty (so much so that it is impossible that the event will not happen"

    I like "to" but you could argue it depends on your understanding of the word "potential" and how it is quantified.

    This could be an investigation for a PhD in Linguistics, right? My impression is that, yes, everyone (including the speakers of languages in the western world) likes ideas to be expressed simply - it is clearer and easier to understand, both in speaking and writing.

    If I may help you with the wording: Do people who live in the western world like to use simple words or sentences when talking?

    I like it; it's right; it's natural. I might, however, suggest "striving for" instead of "fighting for"

    Check use of "the", "a" and "and". I answered this for you in your previous question :)

    Hi, it is understandable but phrased in a way that may cause confusion. The two parts (the "few cameras" and the "no way to know what happened") seem to contradict each other so the listener might assume and mentally corrected for a mistake. This contradiction leads me to suggest the following two possibilities: (1) ALTHOUGH... "(Although) there are a few cameras in (each of) the parks, there is no way that you could know what happened when you were away (2) ONLY... SO... "There are only a few cameras in the parks, so there is no way that you could know what happened when you were away" Does that make sense to you?

    Hi, (1) I'd prefer "Do you really have to bring up *the fact* that you are dating her?". I would use IT (or THAT) only once it is clear what IT is, not before. You could say for example - "We all know you're dating her but do you really have to bring that up now?" (2) I wouldn't say "the space is empty". Your last sentence is fine but how about "I'll go out *this way*" because you are not going "through" anything but space (3) "to shoot" is "to film". Therefore it means the various scenes were filmed in a different order to the order in which they are presented (4) Yes!
