Hi All! I am here because I love language, people and cultures. I speak a little of many languages but really want fluency in French and Spanish within the next few years. I'm also working on Levantine Arabic...and I am not good yet at all! [emoji] I would like to exchange language with native speakers from Spain, France, and Syria or Lebanon for the primary languages I am currently studying. I'm open to working on other languages as well, and would love to exchange and help you with your formal or casual English.

    I would say, "I like to Surf." or "I like surfing." If you surf a lot, you would say "I surf." or "I'm a surfer." We don't really say we are practicing sports. We say we are playing sports. "I like playing sports." "I play golf. I play basketball. I play football." We only use practice if we are meeting with the team to practice before a game. "I'm going to practice." ... ....and practice and surf never go together.

    "Hit the nail on the head" is usually used during a conversation when someone says something that is exactly right. Or when they seem to guess exactly what you were thinking. It is not used in reference to getting a good job or something outside of a conversation. It is a casual statement,  rarely written, but can be used during a live conversation.

    "Even though" and "even if"

    I'm going to write some examples:
    -Mexico will win the World Cup even if they don't play their best game.
    -Spanish young people is going abroad to look for a better job even though they already have one here.
    -I'm going to buy a sailing boat even if my wife doesn't allow me.
    -You must read as many books as you can even if you can't pay them.

    Good morning Diego. This is a great question! Basically, you would use "even if" when you are not sure of the outcome yet, and you would use "even though" when you know what the outcome is or may be. Using your examples: Mexico will win the World Cup even if they don't play their best game. - This implies that we don't know if they will play their best game or not. If you said, "even though they won't play their best game" it implies that we know they won't play well in this match. -Spanish young people are is going abroad to look for a better jobs even though they already have some one here. -Even though is used perfectly in this context and implies that people who are already employed in Spain are still seeking work abroad. You could also say "even if they already have a job here" which would just change the meaning to imply that people both employed and unemployed are looking for jobs abroad. -I'm going to buy a sailing boat even if my wife doesn't allow me. - Saying "even if my wife doesn't allow me" implies that you don't know yet if she will let you. If you said "even though she won't allow,me", it means,you already know she won't allow you to buy it. -You must read as many books as you can even if you can't pay them. - In this sentence, you may want to replace the word "pay" with "afford". You pay a person, not a book. "Even if you can't afford" implies you don't know if the person can afford them or not. "Even though you can not afford them" means you know the person does not have enough money to buy many books.

    If someone asks you a question, and you can only answer part of it, you would say, "I wish I could be of more help. Or, if someone is hurt or sick and you can only keep them company while you wait for a doctor. If someone needs directions to get somewhere, but you can only tell them part of the way. These situations are good examples of when to use this phrase.
