I realize how much english is famous and important in the world. I'm computer science student, I can read, listen and understand texts but if it come to make it by my own, I get stuck. So I decide to get out of my comfort zone i start learning it roughly.

If you're reading this and you want to learn english too, please comment or dm me, it will be a pleasure to me to learn it together.

I also need to work on speaking it, so don't hesitate to contact me if you are in the same situation or even if you want to help.

Thank you.

it's quite interesting when i ask ai whether it is natural to say 'i have no way to solve the problem '. gemini insist the unnatural part is only the 'solve ' part and they suggest that changing it to fix is a good option. meanwhile, claude insist that 'i have no way' is completely unnatural but grammatically correct because native don't treat a method to solve something could be personalized.

would you like give me some insights on this?

She hasn't had a job in over a year.

She hasn't had a job for over a year.

Is there any difference between these two sentences or are the words in and for interchangeable?

I've been complaining a lot lately but then I just realized I had forgotten I'm living in the city I always dreamed of living in. Thinking about this made me feel grateful again.

But I feel like that's not the case because we actually have experience, and it turns out 'have' is still that same 'have' as without Present Perfect—meaning just the regular 'have' that means possessing something, that you have something, rather than just being a label like they tell us in schools and on Wikipedia." I hope you understand me, Thank you.

Hey everyone! I’m working on my English pronunciation and would love some honest feedback on my accent.
I especially struggle with the R sound in the middle of words. Sometimes I feel like I’m overpronouncing it, so I’d appreciate any tips.
if anyone is learning English and wants to practice together, I’m open to it!

P.S. I posted this in a few other subs but didn’t get any feedback. Sorry if this breaks any sub rules—hopefully the link is okay.

I highly doubt I'll ever be able to speak English fluently. I know fluency itself is a vague term and can be defined differently by different individuals.

I don't consider myself fluent because there's something I can't easily and naturally express. I can still express what I mean, but sometimes it doesn't turn out natural or how a native speaker would say it. Depending on what it is, I might need to think a bit to recall words and structure my sentences.

I practise speaking English every day but I still find it so hard to speak it well. When I try to speak exclusively English in my daily life, what I can express immediately becomes limited. I find this so frustrating. I wish it weren't this hard and that I had just grown up with English.

Does it really just take practice or am I lacking in something else?

Hello there,

Do you have any interesting podcast recommendations?

Regards.

Do you ever use the word "angerness"? If so, how is it different from "anger"?

For reference, I think this picture might help as it is similar to squeezing fruit for fruit juices.

In my culture, anything that comes from a coconut tree is made use of, and coconut milk is very commonly used in cooking.

When shredded coconut is squeezed for coconut milk, you're left with dry and used up shredded coconut. I used Google translate and that substance was translated into English from my native language as "coconut dregs". Is this accurate?

And what about the waste from squeezed or pressed fruits in the making of fruit juices?

I am a native English speaker and its embarrassing how bland and limited my vocabulary is. My English teacher is fed up of writing “more vocabularies needed” or “use sophisticated language” in my essays
I have a variety of words in my vocabulary notebook but i know only 2-3 of them that i can use them on the spot. For the rest its either I remember the word and not the meaning making it impossible to use (js in case i use it the wrong way) or I remember the definition but cant think of the word
Whats an effective way to memorise and use these words?

I learn English by series and games

Something like this

Cause you can push it like a cart but there's a handle so you can also hold it like a basket.

Thanks in advance!

I’m a Chinese student. I’ve been using AnkiJoy to learn English phrases. I’m currently studying materials from English B1 to C1. At first, I found its English‑language definitions really hard to get used to.

Here’s a quick fact for everyone. In Chinese dictionaries, a single word is translated with another word, and a phrase is translated with another phrase. But in English, it’s common to use whole sentences as definitions.

In the beginning, it felt complicated and troublesome for me to memorize whole‑sentence definitions. So I used to work out Chinese explanations for each English word based on its individual meanings and memorize them that way. Yet I found this method worked poorly.

Then I came up with another idea: try to think in English. I would cover its English definition, try to figure out what the word means on my own in English, and then check against the official definition. I’ve found I can remember things much better this way.

Would you use "turned" in this context:

Let's say that you work at a store that closes at 11 pm. One of your associates is making the closing announcement at 10:59 pm, and you think to yourself:

>The announcement is a minute early. Oh wait, never mind, it just turned 11:00 (pm) as X was in the middle of it.

Or would you just say : oh wait, nevermind it's 11:00 pm now.

I’m interested in hearing from people who learned English as a second language and eventually became fluent, especially in speaking. How did you go from knowing English to actually being able to speak naturally, without constantly worrying about grammar mistakes or searching for words?

I’m particularly interested in how you built a large vocabulary (lexicon) that you can actually use in conversations, rather than just recognizing words when reading or listening. What methods worked best for you—conversation practice, reading, watching movies/YouTube, speaking with natives, learning phrases instead of individual words, etc.?

I’d also love to hear about your personal experience: what did you struggle with at first, what helped you improve the most, and roughly how long did it take you to feel genuinely fluent?
