Hope to hear from you soon!

    The difference between the two words is subtle. "Set" is typically the same meaning as "put", but "set" can imply a more gentle or deliberate action. For example: "He set the vase on the mantle carefully." However, "put" can imply a less deliberate action. For example: "I wasn't sure where the vase belonged, so I just put it on the table." Or: "Just put it down somewhere, we're in a hurry!" In most situations, though, "put" and "set" can be used interchangeably.

    "Scam" is probably the word you're looking for. For example: "If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably a scam." And the person that does it is known as a "scam artist" or "con artist".

    "Breaking up" is only used when talking about relationships. If you wanted to describe the ending of a friendship, you can say "My friend and I had a 'falling out'."

    Reflections of a Wanderer As an invisible person, I can't imagine that I would feel differently. Wandering in ignorance, never certain of where I'm headed or where I've been, letting my feet go where my mind cannot control. Today is empty, uncertain, as I lace up my sneakers and open the door. Where will these shoes be, when the sun goes down this evening, and what will this mind come to know in the hours resting between.

    I think Annabel is right, the closest phrase in English would probably be, "You are always welcome in my house."

    Peachey is correct, pronunciation can be a problem. For general pronunciation and intonation, I also recommend watching movies or TV shows in English (with English subtitles if necessary). But if you are having issues with specific words, I recommend trying this website: http://www.forvo.com/languages/en/ Hope that helps!
