Currently learning Hungarian in order to request my citizenship. Would you like to practice with me? I am originally from the United States, though, my ethnic background is quite diverse. My grandparents and great grandparents immigrated to the USA from: Austria, Hungary, Ireland, and Romania. Often, I try to explain to my friends and family, what learning a second language has done for me. I tell them that learning Spanish (though I still need much practice) has opened me up to millions of people who I never would have been able to speak with before. Recently, I met a Romanian woman in a supermarket who did not speak any english and needed help purchasing groceries for her family (I do not speak Romanian). We both spoke Spanish and I was able to help her and her family buy the groceries she needed. Experiences like these are what motivates me to learn languages.

La conversación con Jarrod fue muy "copada", de principio a fin. Se pasó rapidísimo! Jarrod habla español casi perfecto, fue un placer ayudar con mi acento a perfeccionar sus habilidades con el español.

    I’ve never heard that word before. “Croon”, however, in American English can refer to a way a song is sung or words are spoken. Merriam-Webster should have the definition for “croon.” Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat ‘King’ Cole, all of these men were “crooners” among others. Good luck on finding your answer.

    Fake-bake(-ing) refers to the tan someone receives from a tanning bed at a tanning salon. The tan is considered fake because it did not come from the sun. Sometimes it can refer to a spray-on tan. Hope this helps!

    Great question. In American English, you can “take the high road” or “take the low road.” They are typically opposite of each other. Think of the “high road” as the moral/ethical way or the more noble option. The low road, is not noble or ethical. Hope this helps!

    The context here is not enough for me to understand very well. However, the following example might be helpful. Imagine your friend is driving a car and you are with your friend. Now, imagine another driver turns quickly in front of your friend. If your friend becomes angry and decides to start yelling at the other person, you might say, “Hey, take it easy,” to your friend. In this scenario it is like telling them to relax. I hope this helps. If you don’t think this is the correct sentiment, try providing some more of the dialogue from the move.

    <s>The importance</s> Important things for two people leading to the decision of marriage.

    In my opinion, if two people want to have a happy and lasting <s>marrige</s> marriage, <s>except for the</s> besides love, we <s>also</s> (If you include 'besides,' also isn't necessary) need <s>the</s> respect <s>ion</s>, <s>the</s> belief (maybe use 'trust' instead of belief), and <s>the</s> sharing. If I consider getting <s>marriage</s> married (you can say "getting married" or remove <em>getting.</em>) , I will choose <s>one</s> a person <s>having</s> who has the following characteristics: 
    1. He has goals and a strong will <em>(maybe: passion)</em> for those in his career ( I can not find any phrase to describe this characteristic ).
    2. He need-s to <s>have the responsibility with</s> be responsible for himself and his family.
    3. He can make me feel good and comfortable when he is around me. (I think you can omit this portion and still retain the significance).
    4. I can talk about anything with him without the fear of being judged.

    HERE, I have included some corrections while trying to maintain your words. I hope this helps!

    In my opinion, if two people want to have a happy and lasting marriage, besides love, respect, belief, and sharing are all necessary. If I consider getting married, I will choose a person who has the following characteristics:

    Fortune teller

    I <s>have</s> visited a fortune teller many years ago. She was in a rented place, sitting in a small room. When I entered she asked me if I play<s>ed</s> the piano. She explained <s>that</s> she heard a piano just when I entered there. She was right, I used to play the piano. She predicted <s>that</s> I would find a man (that I knew) in <s>his</s> mourning <s>situation</s>. It never happened, <s>till</s> until now. She also told me that I should <s>go out from</s> leave the protection circle. In that moment, she was right, I did it a couple of years later.<em> I don't understand what you want to say here. What was she right about and what did you do a couple of years later exactly? I would try re-wording this. </em>

    I like your story. The detail you added in the second sentence added a visionary element to the narrative. In the first sentence, <em>have</em>, is not appropriate. You might be able to say, "I <em>had</em> visited a fortune teller many years ago" but I think it sounds most natural without it.

    Anyway, best of luck. Keep up the great work!

    It is possible, in some cases, that "It's none of your business" and "This (subject or conversation) has nothing to do with you!" could convey same or similar meanings. However, "It's not about you" and "It's none of your business" do not quite match here. I think, if you used "It's not about you" instead of "it's none of your business," the native english speaker might understand what you mean to say.

    If you are referring to a cell/mobile phone: Maybe it is more natural to say, "Make sure your phones are on silent during class." (American English) If you are referring to a clock, timer, watch, etc: " Be sure your alarm won't sound during class." or "Turn your alarms off during class time." I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more clarifications! Keep up the great work.
