I need a friends to practice English
Hi everyone, Hope you're all doing great! I'm currently learning English and looking for a speaking partner to practice with regularly. I'm a beginner, so I prefer simple and friendly conversations to help build my confidence and improve fluency. If you're also learning or open to practicing together, feel free to comment or DM me. Let’s help each other grow. Thanks! 😊

Time notation, is a dot valid between hour and minute?
I am reading a book and came across this notation. I suspect the authors are mainly British and I have been historically much more exposed to American English and notations. Is a dot between hour and minute valid in formal English? Is it contemporary?

Is it correct to say 'We've GONE skiing'? Or should it be 'We've BEEN skiing'?
Hello everyone, I heard a native speaker say 'We've GONE skiing, we've played in the snow' talking about the fun things they've done as a family in the winter. I know it's supposed to be 'We've been skiing' because 'We've gone skiing' means you're still skiing and are not back yet. I'm wondering if it's acceptable and common to use 'gone'. Thank you so much, wonderful people. I hope you're having a great day!
