Dobry den. Jsem Američan. Mluvim dobza Anglicky. I'm just beginning to learn Czech, but looking for some language exchange partners who speak Czech and are learning English. I've lived in New York State most of my life. I'm college educated so I speak good English, with a neutral American accent.

    Her headache was because of the enormous elephant peculiarly perched on her head. She had a headache, due to last night's events. She wears a garlic necklace, because of the vampires. The werewolves were howling because of the full moon. Due to the fact that I can't think of any examples of when they're not, I believe they are interchangeable. I agree with John.

    The only thing that isn't correct: "Both are correct?" needs to be "Are both correct?" Another alternative to probably is likely, but I think probably sounds better in your examples. You can also say unlikely, for example "It's unlikely I'll stay at home." or "I'll be unlikely to stay at home."

    1) "hose down your car" is good, to say "wet your car" sounds very unnatural. "Step back so you won't have any water spray on you" This isn't bad. You could also say "Step back so you don't get wet." 2) What you wrote there is pretty good. Just refer to medicines as them, not it. 3) Fit is a good way to say it. 4) "Got screwed" tends to mean another person ripped you off, treated you unfairly. Like you paid money for a product and then found out that the product was very low quality, not nearly as good as you had been told. On the other hand, if someone makes a mistake, you can say "he screwed up." This is someone's own fault. You could say someone's plans went awry, things didn't go as planned, or simply that the plans didn't work out.

    "Walk up to" means the same thing as "walk over to." It means walk towards something until you are right next to it. It's the common way to say that.


    I'm not sure about the loudspeaker, it would be easier if I had more knowledge of the story. But maybe the pony is standing on top of a loudspeaker.

    Synonyms tend be used for somewhat different situations. Distinct is very similar to "unique." Distinctive is used to describe a characteristic, a trait.

    I'm guessing this is a quote from the Bible. It's probably grammatically correct, but very unusual. Normally you'll want to say "was over."

    The other three comments have probably explained it pretty well. But I thought I would add that it might help to think of "finishing the job" as a noun.

    I agree with everything Richard wrote.


    Here are a couple specific things I noticed:


    I couldn't hear the d in encountered


    In jungles the j was pronounced like a y


    The vowel in "and" was off, it should be the same as the vowel in that and hat.

    I agree about  National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, it's a classic.


    For something a little different, some holiday fear instead of holiday cheer, I recommend Santa's Slay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc0KA79j7w


    It's violent and probably not what you were expecting, but some people will enjoy it.

    Strange. I can't understand that attitude. I wonder if those people have learned any foreign language themselves.
