If I had to guess my French is around the A2 level. I am 30 year old American who is currently learning French. This is my first 'serious attempt' at learning a foreign language. My main goal is to be able to watch/listen to French programs and be conversationally fluent. I am open to language exchange and can meet 1-3 times a week via Skype.

    "Oh, man!" - this one is a little tricky as it can be used in several situations. Here are a couple of examples: It can be used when you're surprised/excited/encouragement - "Johnny your Dad bought you a new bike" --- "Oh, man! Really? That's awesome!". It can be used when in disbelief/disappointment - "Timmy stole Johnny's new bike" --- "Oh, man! Are you serious?".

    The word "VERY" is typically used to place emphasis on something. Example 1: She is VERY short. <-- Very is used to place emphasis on how short she is. Example 2: That is a VERY big sandwich. <-- Very is used to place emphases on how big the sandwich is. The example that you provided is unique, and a little tricky. The word 'VERY' in this case is used to place emphasis on the REASON which directly correlates to TECHNOLOGY. It is placing more attention on the specifics of the situation. Side Note: This use of 'very' can be considered a "filler" word OR adding "fluff" to the sentence. What I mean by that is the same message will be received if you take the word 'very' completely out of the sentence. However, the writer wanted to make sure the reader understood the reason! I hope that makes sense. Even as a native speaker it was a little tricky to explain.

    Agree with below. I think #5 sounds natural this way... 1. We are short-staffed 2. Correct 3. Correct 4. Correct 5. Why would someone steal something that already has everything?

    I don't think it sounds 'natural'. Greedy - is a selfish desire. Example 1: "My sister will not share her snacks because she is greedy" Example 2: "There is no need to be greedy, there is plenty for everyone" I would reword the sentence to say: "I am (ADJECTIVE) to learn more English" I am 'anxious' to learn more English I am 'excited' to learn more English I am 'eager' to learn more English

    Your question seems a bit unclear. At university you can take classes on-campus (at facility) or off-campus (at home). Both are the same thing on paper. The two forms of classes meet the same educational requirements to obtain an educational degree. In the United States (for an undergraduate degree - Bachelors), full-time is considered +12 credit hours within one semester. This is time spent inside of the classroom. Time is still required for studying, exams, homework, etc. Part-time is consider 11 credits or less in a semester. I have taken both on-campus and off-campus. Students argue that classes are easier in person, and the workload is less. Some students believe that studying from home provides much more flexibility to their life-style or schedule. I hope I was able to answer your question.

    I would agree with Dylan. I'm not sure I have ever used the word.

    Booted is slang for "getting the boot" or "getting kicked out of the door"....I guess the car "got the boot" and is no longer allowed to be there.

    The word 'wired' in this sense is talking about our inherited or genetic roots. It's something that it's basically out of someones control as they are born with certain tendencies, abilities, or skills You could say: "This is Albert Einsteins daughter. She was wired to be an extreme intellect"
