I'm Jeremy from Louisiana, US. I am learning French as my first foreign language and could definitely use some help! Although it will be some time before I want to have conversations in French, until then I am open to helping French speaker with their English. I can speak on most any topic and am especially interested in helping make you sound more natural/native and if you need help with your accent or pronunciation. As for me, I have a degree in English although I don't use it professionally. I have found that informal study at one's own pace is usually much more effective than a classroom. As for my interests, I love music (jazz, blues), gardening, the outdoors, camping, reading, cooking/eating and many other things. If you feel like we could help one another, please send a message. Thanks for reading all of this, J

    Hey Heidi, "Past" usually seems to be used with "a quarter past" and "half past" only. Like it's a quarter past six (6:15) and it's half past six (6:30). Everything else is usually just numbers. "it's 6:05" it's "6:45" Just say "O" for 01-09, then just say the number as usual. J

    The term is usually "hard headed" so "stone headed" would mean stubborn and I agree that the other should be "soft hearted" which means kind. Hard headed is fairly common in colloquial English and you will hear someone has a soft heart as well. J

    Yeah, it's just a way of saying extremely bored. "Bored to death" and "bored out of my mind" are both common.

    You just remove the word "out". You can vent your anger and vent your frustration. You will see both of these written more often than spoken. In spoken English you will hear "I just needed to vent" I just needed someone to vent to" and the more colloquial "I need to blow off some steam." Yes, manga is a great resource IF it is one you really like. It also helps if you already know the story. Dr. Krashen, the man behind so much language acquisition research, absolutely endorses manga, comics, fiction, magazines and anything that you really like. For French I managed to find Naruto in manga. For English you will have a ton of choices! J

    After. The second sentence let's you know that since the movie is long, they will most likely want something to eat afterwards. If the sentence just read -Do you want to grab something to eat........the film? It's going to be a long film." then Before or After would work.

    1) Everyone's gone crazy over this new model of phone, they are even scrambling to get it the shop. A scramble is usually used in sports but people do scramble for things, usually the -ing form. "People were scrambling to get in Walmart for the Black Friday sales!" Enter is fine but you will usually say "get in" in real life. "Go get in the car." I tried to get in the bank as soon as it opened." 2) I could see a startled look ON his face when the teacher asked who did it. (Good sentence) "The Halloween costume was startling." There is also a slight difference in "startled" and "scared/frightened/afraid" Startled usually means sort of a combination of scared/shocked like when someone jumps out of hiding. 3) You can pour cereal in a bowl add some milk and then grind some chocolate on top. 4) the book tells about A pathetic sailor who became A wonderful writer after several years of stubborn study. "Gorgeous" refers to attractive appearance and in the UK I've seen it refer to delicious flavors. (Maybe the more he studied the prettier he became?) The book tells of an ugly duckling who became a gorgeous swan once fully grown. (That is a real book) 5) You can't impose your perspective on people. (fine as is) "If you could just look at it from my perspective you would understand." "That's just your perspective, it doesn't mean it is right." 6) Everything he did was reckless and eventually he ended up in the grave. Similar - "He lived a reckless life so he died young." "All he did was act recklessly and it got him killed!" "His recklessness lead to his demise." Hopefully these help, J
