- If you're barking up the wrong tree it means that you are following the wrong line of investigation or making the wrong assumption.I overheard this phrase used once in a business call to someone who spoke English as a second language: "You're barking up the wrong tree." In English, this is a mild phrase which means nothing bad. But in this person's culture, they lacked this idiom, and calling someone a dog is a grave insult. So he took great offense at the implication!0 votedAugust 11, 20190
- In this scene of the movie, it's a toast. People often drink "to" something. "To health!" "To the king!" "To your new job!" Jack has given a speech about the importance of making it (each day) count. Rose answers with a toast: "To making it count." Yes, I had to verify this by finding the scene in a script of the movie.0 votedSeptember 19, 20180
- "Code" in the sense of a programming language is always an uncountable noun: "his own code", never "codes". In your sentence it's probably better to say "his code" and not "his own code". You probably mean "Otherwise, you will both be confused." "Either of the freelancers" means there are two freelancers, and one of them will be confused. There are other minor errors (not many) and you might have better luck putting this into Notebook for correction, rather than Answers.0 votedSeptember 19, 20182
White shwan Swan
One days, it was a warm, sunny weather in the summer, when I saw a very beautiful woman with red haar hair. She was absolutely breathtaking. In On her face was were a lot of sweet little freckles and I thought, this is my charming princesses. She spoke to me and in this one moment, I knew her voice. It was a familiar voice, but I couldn't remember me, where I had heard it before. She looked me deep in the eyes and told me a short story about us and I was shockt shocked [It's pronounced the way you spelled it, but spelled "shocked".] for a moment. She asked me, "you can Can you remember? I am the little ugly grey duckling". I couldn't believe what I heared, I can could not trust my eyes. Now, she was a lovely beautiful white shwan. I was instantly in love with her.0 votedSeptember 18, 20180My thoughts about learning English
Could you correct my mistakes please?
Thank you in advance!
I am used to have been learning English for several years, but now I'm still as like a beginner. I It's hard to express myself hardly. Understanding of a native language partner is difficult. I always forget useful words I need and my speech is as much slowly as possible. But it doesn't make me a desperate person. [This sentence is good English, but it might be better as "But it doesn't make me desperate" or, with less intense emotion, "But it doesn't make me discouraged". In these sentences, the expression "make me" more clearly means "causes me to be". In the expression "It makes me a <adjective> person", the implication of "make me" is closer to "causes me to be defined as". Sorry, it's hard to explain this subtle difference.] I've just had an the experience of learning French by myself. It was possible. Not such a brilliant level as I would like to have, but the confines ["barriers" is probably better here] of misunderstanding are broken. I can communicate with native French speakers and understand them. [Very good for you! I am studying French and still have great difficulty understanding native French speakers.] My French experience was mostly about listening and speaking. In the past, I have hours of listening. So I decide have decided to spend more time on watching English videos and listening to the radio. I think it is possible to overcome myself my problems in learning English soon. [This is one way of phrasing this.] Let's try.[Great work. Everything is very understandable!]
