SINCE ITALKI HAS ACTIVELY REMOVED THE ABILITY TO FIND LANGUAGE PARTNERS FROM THE WEBSITE, THIS SITE IS OF NO MORE USE TO ME AND IT'S VERY UNLIKELY I'll CHECK BACK OFTEN ENOUGH TO SEE YOUR MESSAGE IN A TIMELY FASHION. SORRY. Hola! Me llamo Oz. Soy inglés y quiero mejorar mi español. Hablo unas pocas palabras y frases, pero hay mucho que no entiendo aun. Si puedes ayudarme aprender mas, te ayudaré con tu inglés a cambio. Hey, I'm Oz. I'm English and would like to improve my Spanish, which isn't good. Of course, I am willing to help you with learning English in exchange. I like rock music - as well as almost any other music with feeling and talent behind it, video games, poker, reading and beer (and most other types of alcohol for that matter). I've been to Granada seven times and have friends there, which is why I'm looking to improve my Spanish skills. If you're interested in chatting, say hi!

    1) Pad around - Walk around/walk about 2) Goes off - Spoils/becomes rotten 3) Where the tea ceremony is held - Where the tea ceremony takes place/occurs/happens. 4 )Zealously - Fervently/Obsessively/Stringently... In this case they are asking why the buddhist nations don't have the same level of cleanliness. It's a little abstract. 5) Enshrine - To contain and display/To preserve in a form that will ensure it is protected and revered. Hard to say which one without full context.

    I play poker online and I've never heard this phrase being used. It makes no sense to me. I googled and found this answer on reddit: "The WSOP app added this poker club feature where essentially the more you play the higher club you are in. Ever since they did that they added those club phrases. They are basically nonsense and not actual poker terms." https://www.reddit.com/r/poker/comments/9g07fx/clubbing_up/ So, it seems that phrases like "club on" and "clubbing up" are nonsense phrases which don't mean much of anything, derived from a feature of the WSOP app.

    Dan, sir, I have no idea where you live but where I come from (the west midlands, UK) I don't know anybody who wouldn't consider birds to be animals. If someone asked me "What animals do you get in your garden?" I wouldn't list squirrels, cats, the occasional hedgehog maybe and then leave it at that. Birds would be first and foremost on the list. There's bloody loads of them.

    This is an ambiguous question. It could be legitimately interpreted either way. That is to say: both meanings are correct. I suppose if it were spoken, the difference would lie in which words were emphasised. If you emphasise the "I", it's more likely (though not guaranteed) to mean the former, if you emphasise the "Why", it's more likely to mean the latter though, again, it's not guaranteed. Emphasising the "why" could equally mean something to the effect of "I can't understand what your reason is for thinking I did this". Anyway, to answer your question: it means both. It depends.

    "Given that" refers to something which is assumed or known to be the case. For example, given that you have asked this question, it is reasonable to expect that there will be people who answer it. Given that 6 pears cost £1.80 the average price of those pears is 30 pence each. Given that I was born in the 80's, I must be at least 29 years old. I have answered this question with a few examples but, even given that, you may not quite grasp the meaning of "given that" properly, in which case feel free to ask follow-up questions.

    Edited because I initially answered this question in the comments box - the design of this place is a little unituitive sometimes.

    English native here. The former is correct: It's ready in under 30 minutes. The other way sounds weird. I'd understand it, but it doesn't sound right. I can't explain the exact grammatical reason, but things are often done (though not always) IN an amount of time, so I assume it's following that convention. "I'll be there IN 2 hours" "Meet me here IN ten years and we'll compare notes" (You could also say "meet me here a decade from now" where there's an implied but unspoken IN - "meet me here IN a decade from now"). "IN a thousand years, we'll all be dust."

    Without regard to the validity of the arguments, and without wanting to make assumptions about exactly what you're trying to say, if I was writing this I might write: Needless to say, the schooling system in most countries is outdated, which contributes to useless teaching methods. In such systems, children's talents are measured only against a narrow range of subjects, hence, their creativity will be stifled as a result. Therefore, by confining pupils to the school's rules and priorities, they will be taught to be just simple followers instead of leaders with independent thoughts. Many highly educated individuals working at low-level positions without any specific professional achievement, would be an excellent example that illustrates the drawback of old-fashioned methods of schooling.
