Hello, my name is Will. I am an American military physician. I am working very hard this year to improve my French skills. I feel that I have mastered the basics of vocabulary and grammar tenses, (completed my Duolingo tree!), but I have far to go, specifically on using the language in everyday practice and listening. I can parse short phrases but I have a long way to go. I would love to find another person in the medical field with whom I could speak for an hour on the weekends via Skype. Doesn't have to be medical (doctor, nurse, etc.) , but that would be nice. Same age, or younger is ok. I would love to make a skype pal in a host country, to someday meet up and continue the conversation in person! I love to travel and would love to host you at my home in CT if you travel to the US.

    Its a matter of connotation. Basically they're the same. 'Depend on' would mean there is some condition that is an input that will affect the output. 'Is New York a great place to live? It depends on who you ask. 'Hinge on' is a more specific and less frequently seen phrase. It would refer to a very SPECIFIC input, that will make an outcome be either very positive or very negative, like a door swinging on a hinge. The immigration debate hinges on the election results.' Its a very specific example of 'depends on.' You could almost always substitute depends on for hinges on, but not the other way around.
