You know in Italy, there are so many people that try to bring you on their side (talking about religions) so most of the time I just ignore them while they try to approach me in the streets. Anyway there are times when you cannot avoid them and that's the problem when you are in a hurry or simply don't wanna talk with random people in the street.
Once it happened to me when I came across with two blonde girls with blue eyes. At the beginning, I thought they were tourists but then I realized that they wanted to talk about religious matters. I wanted to point out that I have no problems with religions (even if I'm atheist) but I don't like to be stopped in the streets because I'm always in a hurry.

By the time I was stopped by the two blonde girls I thought "Oh, I should pretend to be a foreigner." If I answer in English, they would "give up" and I did so, but the problem was that they were both from London and at that time I was like 12 years old so I could barely say some words in English.
So they said something to me that sounded like "ahfaojhcaèouchaèouh" and I answered "I'm sorry I just pretended to be a foreigner, but I'm actually an Italian." (I said this in italian). They stared at me for a bit then laughingly said: "Don't worry, so... do you believe in Jesus Christ our savior?"

From then on, I never pretended to be a foreigner again.

Since you already have received some good tips on learning a language, I'll share one more that I learned a few days ago which I think is worth sharing. Have one good solid resource and stick to it 'til the very end. It's actually a trap to have too many different resources on hand because we don't know which one to use. It is causing us to be overwhelmed then give up during difficult times.

By the way, Djamel is telling you try a channel in YouTube called "English with Lucy". She teaches grammar and helps with listening and pronunciation in English if you want to have a British accent. She is a really good teacher. She's one of the reasons why I feel motivated in learning Spanish because I watched her video "How I learnt Spanish" which is actually a listening practice in English. She is demonstrating in the video that we can also achieve a good level of fluency in another language like she did. She has so many other listening practices as well and most are quite funny actually. It's worth subscribing to her channel.

Good luck on learning English and obtaining that pilot license. You'll do great for sure. Don't forget to box the clouds! Haha! :)

¡Hola señora! I'm really having a tough time with the word "siempre". My mother tongue is heavily influenced by Spanish language so a lot of similarities and some false friends. "Siempre" is an interjection which means "Of course!" in our language. It's actually more difficult to reconcile false friends if there are some in one's mother tongue. I'm already okay with "embarazada" or "carpeta" but I'm still working on with "siempre" since I always say that word.

The first sentence is correct. The second sentence does make sense but the first sentence is better structure-wise.

Divergent is my favorite book because it's not concentrated on just one genre. You'll feel lots of suspense, drama, action, love, and a bit of comedy. I've read it thrice already and I'm planning to read it in the language I'm learning.

I agree with you. A teacher doesn't have to be perfect in the language he/she is teaching but he/she must be several levels above his/her students.

The word "centrality" in the paragraph means that it is of greatest importance. It is basically saying that advertisement became so important in the 1920s. "Fuelled" means that it's intensified. The consumer spending was much higher than before.
