    Hopeless (American English)

    Hi, everyone,

    In British English, I think they use “to be hopeless at something” as a synonym for “to be terrible at something”. What about American English? Do you use “hopeless” that way?

    “I am hopeless at math”
    “He is a hopeless teacher”

    Thank you!

    If you are a user of Italki write them and let them know how you feel about the changes. This is the only way that they will reconsider. I've written to them to explain how canceling 45 minute lessons would be great mistake for students and teachers, and changing "Informal Lessons" to " Conversation Practice" also is not a good idea.

    Kind but firm messages from their users is the only way that they will understand what polices will be helpful or unhelpful to their users, so keep up the pressure, and let them hear from us.

    The quotation "Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping".

    I disagree with the quotation: "Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping". I am a happy person, and I have everything that I need. I fell in love, and found my good friends. If someone tries to buy these important values, no one will be happy. The richest people have a ton of material things, but very often they feel alone. It's better to meet a lovely person and live a good life together, then you pay for the best relationship, and in the end, you will be left after the breakdown of your business. We need to believe in ourselves yourself and be ready so that our happiness will happen to us without spending money. I wish love and happiness to all people in the world.

    Well done! Remember that in English there are three ways to separate a complete sentence:

    With a period: "I am a happy person. I have everything I need."

    With a comma and a conjunction: " I am a happy person, and I have everything I need."

    With a semicolon: " I am a happy person; I have everything I need."

    "Self-knowledge" or "self-understanding" are both good words. Other words that are useful to describe how we understand our personalities are "self-awareness" and "insight". For example, we might say: "In order to become a more mature and less narcissistic person, we need greater self-awareness of our thoughts and feelings and deeper insight into our personality."

    A relationship is like a field

    I got by  rode/took the bus this today morning and had a time for thinking. Unfortunately it happens with me rarely in my life) I looked at the window and I don't know why, but I thought about relationships. Our world is full of notices and articles about an ideal relationship, how can you find an ideal person and live with him/her for your whole life, but does but! Does that relationship exist in real life? I don't think so. I suppose to a relationship is like a huge field. There are a lot of hills and holes, fresh grass and dry, old leaves, somewhere there are puddles and even dirty parts, but somewhere there are flowers and drops of dew. And all of them exist at this moment, They  interact with and influence each other, and define our behavior and our day. What do you think about it?

    Well done! You did a nice job describing how a field can be a metaphor for relationships.

    We can use "to ride" or "to take" when we want to describe traveling by bus.

    As already noted, the word "ratings" is used. The word "viewers" is also used sometimes to describe how many people watched the show. For example, "The first episode had excellent ratings with over one million viewers, but the second episode only had three hundred thousand viewers. "

    How I grew fond of this band (part 1)

    I just came back from a music concert of my favourite band - they were fantastic as always. This time I was about to miss it, and only thanks to annoying contextual ads I used to hate (which can apparently be of good sometimes, hahah) I rushed to buy tickets just two days before the very concert. I'm still very impressed and feeling excited while writing this.

    I think, it was in 2006 when I learned about them. One day my dad came home and brought me a flash drive with an album of theirs on it, saying: " A colleague of mine gave me this. Here, check it out, you may like it".
    I glanced at the flash drive feeling rather curious about what's what was on it and thanked him. However, that time I didn't touch it and just laid it in the drawer of my desk.


    Well done! It would be interesting to know the name of the band.

    Hello Olga, Most of the previous answers I think will be useful to you. However, another useful phrase is "avid reader". The word "avid" means "having or showing a keen interest in or enthusiasm for something." We often use the phase "avid reader" to describe someone who very much loves reading and does it a lot. For example, "Mary is an avid reader and usually reads several books a month." "Steven is an avid reader, and is very knowledgeable on most topics that interest him."
