Die Sprechübung war schon sehr gut und fliessend! Du kannst das nächste Mal versuchen etwas langsamer zu sprechen und wirklich nur 3 Minuten!

    Gibt es eine gute Website / Wörterbuch, wo man deutschen Umgangssprache (auch unhöflicher Ausdrücke) lernen kann? zB auf Englisch hat man https://www.urbandictionary.com/. Es würde mir wirklich helfen, mehr Freunde und Kontakte zu knüpfen! Danke im voraus!

    The full sentence from the audio is "what do you think about they drugs they would have me on at the hospital" So "on" refers to drugs. "to be on drugs" means that you are regularly taking drugs. She thinks the hospital will put her on certain drugs and she is asking for an opinion about that. Hope this helps

    Have you tried using Linguee? It's a dictionary website and app, but it gives lots of example translations. You can enter "mass appeal" to see some example sentences. e.g. "The Tesla Model 3 was built for mass appeal." (Meaning: other Tesla models were just for niche markets, such as very rich people)

    Hi, I ate pasta with pesto sauce 2 days ago for dinner and I cooked it myself. Actually, I also made the pesto sauce for the first time. It was really delicious, except that I had used a lot of oil in making it. My wife also loved it. I will make it again in the days to come.

    To me, no difference in tone. Using "haven't/don't" is a bit more informal, but I would still say it to my boss at work. I think it's just personal preference, maybe some geographic differences between English speakers.

    This is in my CV - part 2

    Web Developer - 2007 - 2011
    I <s>got </s>became experienced with [suggested: "Developed expertise in"] PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, , Prototype, jQuery, Ajax. Optimization for millions of page views a day. Video streaming sites. Online payment solution integration (PayPal, MoneyBookers, SMS payment, OTP, etc.)

    Software Developer - 2011 - 2015
    Data processing. I wrote [suggested: instead of "I wrote", use "Writing" ] web crawlers that systematically browse<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">s</s> the <s>World Wide W </s>web. PHP,MySQL, XML, RSS, etc.

    Freelance Software Developer - 2015 - Present
    - SmartPhone applications and server-side back-end. Ionic/angular, Android/Java, iOS/Objective-C, iOS/Swift, and basic knowledge of Kotlin.
    - Data processing solutions and web crawlers.
    - Website setup and customization such as WordPress, OpenCart, Oxwall, etc.
    - Custom websites.


    In a CV, I would avoid "..." and instead say "etc." or "and others" or "among others"

    In this part of a CV, we usually do not write in the first person
    e.g. don't write "I became experienced..." but instead "Experienced with..."

    Also you could improve this further. "Experienced" means you did it a lot. But are you actually any good? Stylistically, I would suggest better:
    "Developed expertise in PHP, ..."
