I'm Steev - I am retired from counselling and I have a qualification in English teaching, (Cert TESOL from Trinity college taken at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK.) I am travelling full-time but slowly. I would like to learn Portuguese and I am also interested in Esperanto.

Steev always suggests a topic for our lessons and makes an effort to speak portuguese the entire time, avoiding his native language as much as possible, even if that may be frustrating and difficult at times - which is great and also inspires me to be more confident in speaking a foreign language as a language learner myself. Muito obrigada Steev!

Obrigado Steev :) Aprender português não é fácil, mas com dedicação e alguma boa disposição à mistura tenho a certeza que alcançarás os objectivos pretendidos. No que puder ajudar dispõe. Um beijinho e até breve

Steve is improving his ability to speak Portuguese. There's a visible progress in the communication and he is able to keep a conversation going, based n his likes and dislikes or routines. Keep practicing, Steve. Never give up.

    A wide range of clothes is a common phrase in English and is used more in businesses. A big choice of clothes could be used in a more personal sense - as in "I have a big choice of clothes in my wardrobe." So it would depend on context.

    Working experience - would mean that you have routinely used your skills in a work situation, (rather than an academic environment.) Work experience would mean that you have had a specific job in iOS development (either paid or unpaid.) The first feels a little clumsy and I might leave the word "working" out, perhaps clarifying later (if you feel you need to) such as "I have knowledge and experience in iOS development both in an academic and work setting."

    I guess should read, "who had been obviously pretty once." The meaning is that at one time she was pretty and this is obvious, (presumably by looking at her.)

    I agree that these are unusual and awkward ways of saying things - but the difference will be: A) Is she your friend? No, I just knew her. (and implies I don't know her now.) B) Is she your friend? No, I have just known her. (and still know her - but not as a friend.)

    I guess "he" had paid for Tru to be taken by air to somewhere . ", So far in advance," would mean that it was much earlier than was needed which is puzzling him.

    It would be more grammatically correct to have a comma after we - as in "We, the living." But as a book title it works.

    No - it means that he was tortured inside himself. So although he was treated well by others he did not think well of himself.

    No there is not a huge difference. I wasn't playing football would perhaps indicate that I was playing something else. E.g. I wasn't playing football, I was playing cricket. Equally I didn't play football may indicate that it was expected of me, but I didn't do it ... so, I went to the park, but I didn't play football. But in everyday language they are interchangeable.
