I currently have several wonderful language exchange partners, so I am not looking for any more at this time. I know it can be difficult to find language exchange partners (especially if English isn’t your first language), but if you keep trying, you’ll eventually find one. Good luck!

    Like Bill said, both are correct. You could say:


    Let’s check out that new restaurant.


    or


    Let’s check that new restaurant out.

    I would say: There is a hole in the bottom of the milk carton and all of the milk that was left leaked out.

    Can you provide some context? It’s hard to know for sure without it, but “family” is sometimes shortened to “fam” in spoken English.

    You should say "Have you seen the movie Dangal?"

    No, I haven't seen it, but a friend brought up that movie in conversation the other day.  I know it's very popular in China right now.

    "That's too bad." is very common.

    "That's a shame." is also common, but not said as frequently.

    Maybe "It's a pity" is used more outside the US (like in the UK, James), but I honestly can't remember the last time I heard someone say "It's a pity." here in the United States.

    I agree that "It's a pity." or "That's a pity." is rarely used by native speakers, but is said all the time by non-native speakers (especially in China).  I've also noticed that people in China use the word "colleague" about a thousand times more frequently than I do.

    Did you know that in addition to leap years (when there is an extra day in February), there are also leap seconds?

    There have been 27 leap seconds since 1972 when they started doing leap seconds!
