    I will be on hiatus starting from April 1st. I have a major exam to pass and my future depends on it (talk about being overdramatic) but seriously I have to pass this very difficult exam. And I have two weeks to memorize and understand 3 two hundred pages books. So I will be taking a break from italki for a moment. So for those I've promised or I've agreed to have a skype or voice call with, I am sorry but I cannot fail this exam.

    Wow. To be honest I haven't thought about that. Hahaha. Thank you for pointing that out.

    My name on the other hand is a combination of my mother's and my father's name. Even with this, there's not much of a story.  

    Touché.

    @JBlackhear


    I didn't came up with the question myself. I got the "name" question from a TedX video on "7 Ways to Make a Conversation With Anyone" by Malavika Varadan

    She list it as one of the example for "a personal question" rather than a small talk.

    Small talk. Yes or No?
    For introverts, we are prone to engage strangers or a new language partner using small talk. I watched a lot of TedX videos which encourage people to avoid small talk and ask some personal questions. For example, "you, have a very interesting name, what's the story behind it?" 
    As you may notice, you will know about someone much better by asking these type of questions.

    I want to know what are other questions that you recommend us to use instead of those small talk to easily connect with strangers. 

    Or if you disagree and you rather embrace small talk, how would you use it to make it interesting because somehow (for me) it eventually leads to awkward pauses.

    I think for you to be motivated to study English is by listening to English songs and movies or series. They are so many good and interesting movies out there.

    Living with parents.

    From where I come from, living with parents is a noble thing to do, but it seems in America (based on movies I've watched), living with parents are for losers. So what do you think about this and how people around you would react if you still live with your parents? 

    Updated:

    Maybe noble is not the right word in this context, "normal" is much more suitable.

    Sorry if i offended any Americans by being stereotypical. For people like me i think we only knew about the American culture by what being portrayed in the hollywood movies and news. 

    And thank you for your answers :)

    Burning bridges.

    Which means to permanently and unpleasantly end your relationship with a person.

    Or, the act of eliminating all possibility of return or retreat.

    It's not because I like what it means. I just like the way it's pronounced.
