I occasionally hop between languages to keep things interesting, but am currently focusing trying to learn Romanian for work. I’m a native English speaker and am happy to help others learn. It would also be nice to make some new friends along the way.

    Whilst you can join in with a singing contest. Normally, we use the expressions 'take part or 'compete' in Britain. 'Compete' is from the word 'competition', and normally implies that you have entered an official competition. 'Take part' is more colloquial. So it would be "I often take part in singing contests" or "I often compete in singing contests"

    Someone who wants a free ride is a person that wants other people to do their share of the work, and they'd normally expect some credit for the work done. Have to agree with Julianna. There was always one in every group project at uni and they'd absolutely do my tree in.

    I think we use 'boy band' in this context because of the alliteration, and it's more than likely just a marketing buzz word for pop music.

    For the second sentence, you could also say "we have a twin room at our hotel", as British hotel rooms are often named after the type of bed they have in them. A twin room has two separate beds, a double room has one large bed for two people and a single room has one bed for one person. The exception is that a family room is for 3 or more people.

    I'm British and have never heard this one before either. It could mean that the more you study different types of languages, the easier it gets to remember what you've learned and the easier it is to learn other languages in the future. It expands your capacity to store language based information.

    You could also use "She's the best in our dance class" if you're talking about a lesson.
