- Hi Yagub. Throw is the 'normal' verb, and the others are much more informal. They all mean approximately the same, although 'hurl' suggests throwing something very strongly or powerfully. Fling suggests throw something without caring where it ends up. 'Fling that away' or 'Fling that old thing in the bin.' 'He flung the rubbish over the hedge.' We would say 'throw me the ball' or 'toss me the ball' but not 'fling me the ball' or 'hurl the ball'. 'Toss' is to throw casually. If in doubt, use 'throw'. She threw the ball to him. He threw the rubbish in the bin. Hope this helps - English is crazy sometimes!0 votedMarch 17, 20240
- Also: when you are at an intermediate level, it's REALLY difficult to see progress. I am a student of Spanish and I felt that I had been at the same level for YEARS! But if you keep practising, little by little there WILL be an improvement. Don't get depressed! You ARE improving. Try to find ways that you enjoy - that's really important. Good luck! Buena Suerte!0 votedNovember 20, 20220
- Hi Dylan Here are some suggestions. Good luck! Why do you want to improve your English? What tasks do you need to do in English? What specific areas do you want to improve? Which particular skills do you need to improve? What are your language goals - short, medium and long term? How will you know when you have achieved them? What do you need/want to be able to do in English? What kind of activities work for you? What kind of topics interest you? Suggested Activity to expand vocabulary TED Talks Listen and read transcript Pick out 2 -5 new words/phrases Check meanings in a good dictionary Oxford Learner's Dictionaries | Find definitions, translations, and grammar explanations at Oxford Learner's Dictionaries (oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com) Write a few sentences with each new word. ( in a notebook or in this shared document) Write a short summary of the talk (eg It was a talk about how global warming is affecting food production in Asia). Write 2 or 3 discussion questions related to the talk/topic to bring to class. (good practice in question formation) In the class, summarise verbally and initiate discussion by asking the questions. Share the new vocabulary and discuss register (how formal/informal/academic it is) and synonyms (how could you say the same thing in a different way?) Review new words. Choose a topic for the next class. ALSO: Read aloud in English Record yourself speaking and listen back to identify errors Keep a diary in English Set your phone/computer language to English A LITTLE EVERY DAY IS BETTER THAN AN HOUR ONCE A WEEK!

- Could anyone correct my essay about ''learning a new language in childhood''?Firstly, I think that nowadays more and more children are encouraged to learn a new language, becouse of the competitive world in which we are immersed. Given that today’s society is increasingly ambitious, sometimes it is the parents themselves who want their children to become familiar with a foreign language other than their mother tongue. In other words, learning a foreign language from an early age has become a growing trend in many countries.Many are the debates on this: basically there are those who argue that children should learn a new language at a young age, and others who are convinced that in reality they are too childish to ‘’capture’’ or understand the true essence of a language and will end up being confused.I personally stand up for those who believe that the best time for people to learn a second language is when they are very young, considering their naive attitude towards life. Owing to the fact that they’re full of vitality and curious, this helps them to learn much faster than an older person. Children are like a sponge: they absorb all information provided.On the other hand, we should also take into account that premature study of a foreign language also has drawbacks: Children need to concentrate on learning their mother tongue first, in order to be able to understand others. Sometimes it could happen that unfortunately you are taught by an ill-trained teacher and the consequences could be serious/negative/.According to many studies, the best time to learn a new language is by the age of 10.In my opinion, learning a new language at primary school is more beneficial than disadvantageous. If I had to decide in the future whether to let my my child learn a second language, I would push (encourage?) him/her to do it at a tender age.0 votedFebruary 14, 20201
- My favorite personMy favorite person is Jairo. He is my best friend and we do everything together. We like eating ice cream, popcorn, hamburgers, burritos, tacos,pizza,etc. We enjoy traveling. Last August we won a scholarship and we stayed 4 weeks in Winnipeg, Canada. We are very far apart now because he is living at his parents house in Morelos and sometimes I feel alone.Ho ! I have to met new people 😅.0 votedJanuary 15, 20202
- Event shameful so far for meI have been to the Golf course that there is in other prefecture with some friend few years ago.In that time , I got on together to the car of friend and foward to there.We have used the highway but I became pain my stomach on the way without service area.I thought I endure it until next one , but I could not , I made him stop beside on the road and I served a purpose.The event at that time is said to him when I meet him therefore I am very shame.I went to a golf course in another prefecture with a friend a few years ago. We traveled together in his car. While we were on the highway, I got stomach pains and I tried to endure it until we reached the next service area, but I couldn't. I made him stop beside the road and I was sick. He always reminds me of it and it's very embarrassing.I'm not sure if I have corrected the last sentence properly. I hope it is what you meant.数年前に友人数名で他県にあるゴルフ場に行った事があります。その時は友人の車に乗り合いで行きました。道中、高速道路を使用しましたが、サービスエリアが無い場所で私はお腹が痛くなりました最初は次のサービスエリアまで我慢しようと思いましたが、それが出来ず、路肩に無理に止まってもらいようをたしました。その友人にたまに会うと、その時のことを言われるので、とても恥ずかしいです。0 votedJanuary 15, 20201
- Can an uneducated person teach an educated person?It is extremely common nowadays for modern society to consider people without proper education as useless in terms of getting any knowledge from them.I totally disagree that an uneducated person is unable to teach an educated person, for a number of reasons.First, even though some people might not have a proper education, they still can teach certain things they know from their experience.For instance, when I was a student I had been travelling a lot across the country and I met a lot of random people that lived in some rural areas. Some of them did not have an education due to the obstacles related to lack of opportunity to fund their education or other problems.Nevertheless, they taught me a lot of things, such as how to survive in distant areas. For example how to find the way if you are lost in a wood, or how to discover the water in deserts and so on.The other great example that perfectly illustrates that educated people can still learn something new from uneducated folks is the example of ancient cultures. We all know that there are some groups of people that live in wild nature like those that inhabit some isolated islands. They represent unique culture and also they have special knowledge about the environment and plants that modern people can use.All things considered, I can state that educated people can learn important things from the life experience of uneducated people. As they say, life is the best teacher!0 votedJanuary 15, 20201
