Hello! I'm looking to connect with some people who are interested in learning English. I'd love to help! Recently, I started learning Arabic and would especially like to meet people who are Arabic speakers wanting to learn English. But I am brand new to Arabic, know just a few phrases and am currently trying to learn the alphabet so I can start to read in Arabic. I would like to travel in the Middle East and better communicate with my friends from Saudi Arabia who are living here. I'm interested in learning much more than the language - I'm also very interested in Middle Eastern cultures. I'm a native English (American) speaker from the west coast of the U.S. I'd be happy to help with using formal English, but also with slang and other casual uses. About me, I love anthropology, music, reading, writing, and try to find humor in all parts of life. I love to laugh. Not sure what else to say, other than I'm friendly and hope you will say hi! :)

    I love you contains much more emotion. I love you is what you'd say to your spouse, parents, or it can mark an important development in a romantic relationship. Typically the "like" leads to "love." You can say "I like you" to anyone, romantic or not. Let's say you met someone at a coffee shop (as friends, for business, or romance - anything) and you have a good conversation. You could say, "you're nice, I like you." And that would be totally acceptable. But telling them you loved them would probably make them nervous :) There's also cultural differences I imagine. In the U.S., it's safe to say that telling someone you love them (in a romantic relationship) is often a sign of commitment and strong intentions for that person and relationship. Many people may be in a relationship for weeks, months or even years before telling each other they love them.

    I never use "arrive to." I think the more common uses are "arrive at" or "arrive in." When talking about a city, you'd say "arrive in." For example: Jack arrived in London yesterday. But, when talking about a place or building that isn't specifically a city, you'd say "arrive at." For example: Jack arrived at the airport.

    So very close! Here are my suggestions: John: He said he will visit us in one hour. (adding "ed" to the end of visit makes it an event that happened in the past, but it sounds like he's visiting in the future). John: He said he visited us one hour ago. (you could also do "he said he had visited us one hour ago" - but the 'had' isn't necessary). John: Correct! Again, the 'had' isn't necessary in this context. The last one: Either "John will visit us in one hour" or "I said to Megan, John will visit us in one hour."

    Poison is a substance that can harm health or even kill someone. It can be in the form of liquid or powder. Venom is a specific type of poison that comes from animals through biting. For example, a rattlesnake would poison someone with it's venom. Also, sometimes venom is used in a less direct way, more symbolic. Like: Her bad attitude was venomous in the relationship. Hope that helps!

    Marhaban!

    Do you have any self-study tips for learning Arabic? I've created a bazillion flash cards and have been looking at online resources. I know some important things are finding a class or tutor and speaking with native speakers. But what do you do when you're studying on your own?

    Shukran!
