- Intensity between dull, tedious and boring I've got this short question. Is there any difference between these three words (dull, boring and tedious) when it comes to intensity? I guess they all mean the same, so if I use one or another would that matter or modify the sentence? Which one is more severe? Is there anyone who could clear it up for me? Thanks.December 6, 201720
- I'm going to answer your question just a half because I know only Brazilian Portuguese provided it's my mother language. In brazilian portuguese we say "passagem" when it comes to tickets that you buy to travel by plane, bus, train and any other means of transportation. e.g: Você já comprou as passagens para Santiago? (Have you already bought the tickets to Santiago?). When it comes to buy tickets to go to a movie theather or a football/soccer match for example, we use the word "ingresso" even there is a website called www.ingresso.com.br where you can buy tickets to go to music shows, movie theathers or matches of any kind. e.g: Vamos comprar os ingressos para o próximo jogo da seleção brasileira? (Let's go buy the tickets to the next match of the brazilian national football/soccer team?) I hope it was helpful and sorry do not be able to help you with the portuguese from Portugal.0 votedDecember 6, 20173
Hi, Roberto.
Listen to this one https://www.allearsenglish.com/ and you won't regret since they speak clearly and in a funny way.
They are two american women from Boston and New York and once a week there is a episode with another woman from Portland, Oregon.
The episodes generally take between 15 and 20 minutes so you can listen in your commute time.
I don't know your current level in English but listen even if you find difficulties to understand 50% percent, I found out this podcast in 2015 and have been improving my listening skills ever since.
I hope you enjoy it and have a nice one.
0 votedNovember 19, 20170- If you have any doubts or questions Hello everyone, Recently I got an email of an English course and its details. Everything was well explained untill I saw the following sentence at the end: If you have any DOUBTS, just let me know. I learnt a while ago that the word "doubt" in English has to do with beliefs and not to somenthing you want an explanation for such as a meaning of a chunk or a word you don't know the meaning, in other words, a question. So, wouldn't it be "If you have any questions...? Doubts would suit just a sentence like that: I doubt he will get richer than Bill Gates. Fell free to correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance for you help.October 30, 201730
- Is there any difference between Whilst, Whereas and While? Provided these three words mean the same, I don't think there is a huge difference between them, if so, would anyone be able to show or explain what are they? For example: I was watching TV while they were hanging out in the backyard. There were three guys running to school whilst was waiting for my girlfriend inside my car. I can listen English podcasts whereas I'm going to work. Thanks in advance.October 30, 201730
- I've got a questuon Could anyone explain the differences between back up, to assist and to support? Which contexts are more appropriate to use one and the others? One example would be: I have decided to back you up. I have decided to support you. I have decided to assist you. Thanks in advance.October 26, 201710
Hey Elina, I would suggest you to listen these three-part series podcast hosted by Olly Richards. He is a polyglot and anyone better than a guy like him to give some hints about your concern.
I think it's going to help you to figure out your way about learning new vocabulary and sticking those words.
One thing he says is that you need to choose the right content to learn the words which are going to be useful for you, otherwise, you might learn outdated vocabulary.
