    If two British people are talking about immigrants, they are discussing people who have moved to Britain. If two British people are talking about emigrants, they are discussing people who have left Britian. "Migrants" is a broader term which just means "someone who has moved countries" without emphasising the "from or "to" aspect. "Immigrants" and "emigrants" are both a subset of "migrants"

    "Way" here is a slang/colloquial term that means the same as "much" or "so". What this sentence means is, "it would be much more comfortable taking photos myself". Other examples would be: He was way bigger than me = he was much bigger than me I got way down the wrong road = I got so far/a very long way down the wrong road

    There is no difference in nuance - they mean exactly the same thing. They are both good formal English too - neither of them is colloquial. The only thing I would say is that you need to say "feel a sense of obligation", not "feel sense of obligation".

    I would add a few points: A house is not just "somewhere built for one or two family units", as that would also describe an apartment, which is definitely not a house. Also, home isn't necessarily a building - it can be a tent, a cave, a caravan - home is wherever you feel a sense of belonging and security. Also, home has a broader meaning which has nothing to do with a building or a shelter - as an Englishman, I would say that England is home to me, and after living in London for twenty years, I also feel that London is home to me.

    I would add that I have seen "agress" but it's very new (I think) and is back-formed from "aggression" - it means "to behave agressively" or "to perform an aggressive act". Because it's such a new word, it sounds rather unpleasant to my ears - made up and unnatural. That's just my opinion though.

    He is saying (in a silly fake German accent), "The zionist world government must be stopped!"

    Not quite - people would understand you but it's grammatically wrong. You could word it the following ways: "I thought you had got used to the heat" (meaning the speaker thought you were already used to the heat and has just found out that you aren't) "I thought you would have got used to the heat" (meaning that the speaker already knows that you aren't used to the heat but thinks you should be)

    "It" in this sentence refers to whatever it was that "he" wanted to say. To "think better of something" means to decide not to do/say something, often because you realise it will have a bad outcome of some kind

    The phrase "a killing" is never used on its own to mean "a big profit" - it is always used with "make", so you could say: I made a killing If I find a buyer, I can make a killing I thought I would make a killing but no-one was interested I'm going to make a killing We might make a killing I'm making a killing by selling these stolen cars I have no idea how the phrase "make a killing" came to mean "make a big profit" - it's just one of those strange phrases... With your example phrase, you could say: I made a killing when I sold that van Hope this helps
