Hello, my name is Lauren. I am a retired senior from the USA, and two years ago I decided to live out my "Golden Years" exploring the cultures available in Europe. I found a home in Germany, but soon learned that internet Apps are not the answer to learning a language. It's also not true that living in a foreign country is a magic bullet for language-learning. By accident, I ran into a group of people who were learning to speak English, and I realised that if I learn how to TEACH English, I could also learn HOW TO LEARN a language myself. More than a year later I have become master at coaching people on how to learn any language. I work mostly with open conversation. We will speak English only, at a level that matches your current level in English. If you can mostly understand my video introduction, we can work together. My method is to have the lessons be interesting and fun for you. We will focus on YOUR reasons for learning English, and work with topics that interest you.

    I miss you! It seems like ages since we've connected. (Then mention something that really interests you about what they were up to when you last communicated.)

    Joseph's answer is important. I also add: What excites you? What gets you going in the morning? What inspires you? What gets you out of bed and ready for action?

    I'm just learning this platform, so I don't know how it works to find language partners here. However, if I'm right that you are looking for some folks to help you practice English, you will need to tell us something to let us understand your request. Also, you would need to tell us something about you, so we would know why we might want to talk with you. What are your interests? Where are you from? What is your English level. Why are you learning English?

    Our dog (he)--since it's your dog, we assume you know if it's a male or a female dog. The brain--"it" is correct.

    I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble understanding the question.

    No, I cannot answer why the auxiliary word is not needed in this interrogative sentence, but I can say that the auxiliary is also not used in the declarative sentence. "Alex invented the telephone." Not "Alex did invent the telephone." I hope that helps. Most grammar points are pretty much unknown to native English speakers.

    All of your examples are correct, but there's one usage that doesn't sound correct throughout this paragraph: Every time you use the words "speak" or "say," try replacing those words with the word "talk." That sounds much more natural.

    I, also, have never heard this phrase, but it has me thinking of a cartoon picture that shows somebody being smacked up side the head with a new concept. They simply could not follow this idea.

    I'm not sure of your question here about remembering, but sentence 1 seems to be implying that more and more people in Japan are choosing to "go out alone" for an evening's entertainment, rather than taking a date. Phrase 2 refers to some practice that will keep a person in practice, or "up to speed," fully informed or competent. By no means=really not or definitely not. #4--a no-no is something that is culturally unacceptable, not accepted by your peers.

    Technically "good" would imply something a little better than "Okay," but it's a very fine line of difference. You would get more information from paying attention to tone of voice or facial expression. The words (in normal conversation) are practically equal. An example of tone of voice, etc. A person could say "I feel great," but say the word "great" with a sarcastic voice, meaning "not great at all," or they could roll their eyes when they say it, to imply the opposite of what they say.
