- I have explicitly asked speakers of foreign languages to teach me swear words. I don't use the American English (my native language) ones -- or at least I didn't used to very much -- and swearing in a foreign language (or using British English swear words) helped me get some frustration out without feeling like I was "really cussing," even though I actually was.0 votedMay 5, 20180

Is it better to visit places in your own country or a foreign country when you go on holiday?
Nowadays, many countries are considered the best place to visit in the world because you can find them enjoyable aspects such as culture, nature, food and--the most important--their people, that create a particular atmosphere not matter if it is your country or not. However, you will find advantages and disadvantages to both choices.
If you are a person that has visited the most famous places in your country, maybe you don't find them interesting, and you are interested in visiting foreign tourist places, or maybe you want to stay in a place where the culture is totally different.
Unfortunately, some countries can be expensive. The main reason is the currency, in comparison with the country that you live in. On the other hand, you can find different offers or discounts for the places that you want to visit.
In my opinion, I consider that each country has characteristics and aspects that make it interesting, so you only need to explore them and discover which aspects you are interested in.0 votedApril 21, 20180Global Warming III
In my opinion, governments play a more significant role in stopping climate change than individuals do, not because individuals aren’t enthusiastic enough--they simply don’t have the means to do it. Most pollution is caused by big corporations that, in order to make as large a profit as possible, are not environmentally friendly. What is more, many households are not either. The government could stop such behaviors by creating restrictions on carbon emissions and increasing taxes on unsorted waste.
It is true, however, that even ordinary people can do their part to stop climate change by helping their friends or neighbours with cultivate green lifestyles. But it is hard to recycle when there are no recycling bins around, and you can’t stop using your car without efficient and reliable public transportation. Governments often fail not only to enforce environmental laws, they also prove to be unable to provide citizens with the means to, for example, separate waste.
And even though I believe that all changes have to come within ourselves, stopping climate change requires cooperation of both the leaders of the country and its citizens, as it is an issue that affects and will affect lives of us all. And it is up to individuals to demand actions from their government.0 votedApril 21, 20180- Having trouble finding a teacher who can . . .
I am having trouble finding a Dutch native speaker to teach me how to write academic Dutch (so I can read or write scholarly articles in Dutch--or even just write essays in it). I also need to learn proper Dutch punctuation and Dutch linguistics terms (I am a master's linguistics student). I've tried contacting a couple of people through the "Find a Teacher" search, but neither could help me, as they did not have the advanced language knowledge necessary themselves.
Does anyone have any tips on searching for a language teacher for academic registers of the target language?

How can I treat a stomach ache more naturally?
Have you ever tried herbs? Herbs are the best way to treat and prevent everyday health problems. All sorts of plants can be used to make remedies. A warm cup of chamomile cures stomach ache, while slices of fresh ginger work for nausea and migraines. My grandma uses evening primrose for a skin rash and eczema. Instead of daily vitamin tablets, I take ginseng to give me energy. Herbal remedies have existed since the ancient civilizations of Africa, China and Egypt.
I would like to answer some questions about where it began, how it works, what it treats, and how long it has been used to do so.
Herbal medicine was in use in ancient Africa and China. Plants are used to make remedies. Herbal medicines are used for everyday health problems such as stomach aches, nausea, migraines, skin rashes and eczema. Herbal remedies have been used since ancient civilizations.
I’ve been taking chamomile to treat an upset stomach all my life. Just put the dried leaves into a cup and add boiling water. Let it infuse for three minutes and it’s ready to drink. You can add honey and lemon if you want.
If you have a stomach ache, I recommend it.
Thanks in advance.
