I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I'm living the dream right now as a teacher of gifted students with learning disabilities (like ADHD, dyslexia, as well as mental health issues). I do not teach English professionally, but I've tutored English as a second or foreign language for many years and helped people do well on the TOEFL, for example. I am a mathematician by training and a linguist by self-teaching, so I pick up grammar very quickly and love teaching it. If you want to learn Latin or Greek via a grammar-translation method, I can certainly help. However, recently, I have become a big fan of communicative/active approaches to ancient languages...speaking the languages as if they were modern languages. I find that this has improved both my fluency and my reading ability greatly! Latin and Greek texts don't have to be read with a dictionary at hand forever...so I can help you with Tacitus, but also get in touch if you want to read Harrius Potter together!

Jamie, you already know quite a few things and have a rich linguistic background. We can advance really fast and achieve tangible practical proficiency in about a year (Biblical Hebrew is literary and poetic, so it takes time), but you will understand many things way, way faster.

    Institutionis (de Calvini) Lib. 1.1 - Dei notitiam & nostri res esse coniunctas

    summarium:


    1. nos in hac (ablativus est - maybe tanta better, to set up a result clause) ruina, quae sursum oculos cogit attollere. [pro pudore nostra, or propter pudorem nostram - pudenda generally refers to private parts :) ], necesse est nobis ut in aliquam saltem Dei notitiam veniamus.
    2. sed constat, hominem in puram sui notitiam nunquam pervenire posse, nisi prius Dei faciem comtempletur, sicut homo qui modo nigri coloris observatur, et nunc in solem suspicimus. antea, modo res terrenas videbat, sed nunc etiam res caelestes.
    3. hinc horror ille et stupor, ubi homines in scriptura Dei presentiam sentiebant. (cf. Iesia 24.23)


    Haec summaria bene scripta sunt!

    In the U.K. Or Canada, "faculty" is common. In the U.S., it would usually be department or school. "Faculty" would be for a group of related subjects, like all the different kinds of engineering. So would "school". For a single or more closely related group of subjects, like just "mechanical engineering", it would be "department".

    Almost! Just, it shouldn't be two different sentences. Either: Note that when you are talking to a person talk normally, neither quickly nor slowly. Note that when you are talking to a person talk normally: neither quickly nor slowly.

    "Scattered around", or "scattered all over". It's also implied that the number (here, of mistresses) is not small, but not huge either.

    That sounds unusual - you'd likely want to just say "I want a queen" in that situation, to avoid confusion. We also use "I feel like" in the sense of "I want" for things and actions/verbs, not people.

    As you've discovered, "feel like" has different senses in English.


    1) I want (something) - your first example. "I want a cup of tea." "I want to eat dinner now."


    2) I feel as if I was ----------- . Your second example. "I feel like a king would feel."


    3) similar to 2 - a way of expressing thoughts or beliefs. "I feel like you are wrong" = "to me, it seems that You are wrong." We might say this if we disagree with someone and want to be gentle or polite.
