Hi! I’m Jonathan. I live in Seattle, USA, and I’m a native English speaker. I also speak Russian (I lived in Russia for over 3 years and worked as an ESL teacher there). At the moment I’m learning German — still a beginner, but excited to make progress! I’d be happy to help with English or Russian in exchange, and I enjoy making genuine connections while learning. Feel free to say hi, and let’s practice together!

    "Repugnant" is an adjective that you would use to describe something that is unpleasant. So you wouldn't say "I am repugnant towards..." Correct versions: "Spicy food is repugnant to me." "I find spicy food repugnant."

    In general the use of 'like' in this way is considered a filler and carries essentially no meaning of it's own. 'I'm like / he's like' is slang for 'I said / he said' and comes from 'Valleyspeak' a slang dialect originating in Southern California. To most native speakers this sounds very immature or teenage-ish, I would say. I wouldn't recommend anyone learning English to consciously use 'like' in this way as it would probably sound too contrived. Hope that helps : )
