Now that I am in Rio, am looking for language exchange partners who want to practice their English and help me with Portuguese. I love italki for classes, but would ideally like to find people to meet in person as I think that is the best way to have authentic conversation. I spent the last 11 years working at a private university with international students and have a passion for international education and talking about culture and language.

C'est un plaisir d'être le professeur de Greg et Rachel. Les leçons sont très plaisantes et je sens qu'ils sont très intéressés. Ils posent beaucoup de questions pertinentes. J'ai hâte de continuer !

    Oh, dear could also be "Oh, boy!" I do not think I have ever heard anyone in American English say "Oh, Joy!"

    In thia case, the meaning seems to be "the status of" - in other words, where do they stand...the meeting is about determing the status of the reappointments. Does that make sense ?

    To add an American perspective, we would say "You're kidding me!" or "No way!". "You're putting me on?" is correct in the USA but very old-fashioned and not really used anymore.

    To add to the conversation, in the USA, you will almost always hear "Is that for here or to go?" though your corrected sentence sounds more warm and polite.

    Both would be understood but I think "the state of his health" sounds better - it sounds a but formal. In the USA, we would likely say something like "Any update on his condition" or "any status update on his health?" -Greg

    I would say "I know she's suspicious. But I'm sure she doesn't have have bad intention towards me and our company." It is a small difference but saying "she can never have bad intentions" is a little awkward sounding and too conditional in my view. Hope that helps!

    Yes - the second is more of a common phrase or saying - the first is more conversational and perhaps a little more informal -Hope this helps - Greg

    Yes, this is correct to say - you could also say "Thanks for welcoming me back" to sound a little more subtle and simple.

    As others said, You're means "you are" so you need the article "a" - You're a good friend meaning someone is a very good friend to you.

    In the USA, I hear them used interchangeably- I usually say tape measure (it's faster) and Americans like word economy. Hope this helps
