English lessons
Hello, I am Julia a French student, and I have been taking English courses at University since September (I already have between B2 and C1 level). I would just like to be able to communicate with English native speakers to brush up my level. I would prefer to learn British English, but others English are perfectly fine as well! I can speak here or in other social medias, like Instagram or WhatsApp. I speak either through messages or voicecalls. Thanks in advance and have a great day! 😊 PS: the flair I added was just to be able to post, I am not looking for any kind of lessons in particular.
I need tips on reading and vocabulary.
Hello, I am a foreigner whose first language is not English, and I intend to take the SAT in 2025. Even though my English is good, I believe I can reach even higher levels of proficiency in the language. Which books would you recommend to acquire greater richness in vocabulary and expand my linguistic repertoire? Thank you in advance. PS: This is not just for the SAT; I aim to improve my level in the language regardless of the exam. Therefore, I consider any recommendation here to be valid.

Is "with" optional in the following? A device to fry rice **with** would fit the bill.

So I was reading a single woman's report today that had a "housewife" in the job section, and that didn't set right with me because how are you a housewife without a husband? Lol. Am I missing something?

isn't bottom up learning (the typical approach in english learning books) for grammar kind of useless?
i'm talking mostly based on my experience. i tried to learn grammar from books for example Grammar in Use, and my procedure was good. It was: reading the definition / explanation of the grammar and then doing its exercises. but sadly i forgot almost all of them; especially the complex ones. what do you think? do you agree? for you, what was the best approach for learning grammar?
Am I ever going to be able to understand English as much as I do in my native tongue
I just started learning english like four years ago which i self taught for three years then came to US for college. however I was wondering if i ever gonna understand English like my native language. for example if i heard someone saying それが違います i can instantly point out that it sounds weird without thinking but when it comes to English I can’t.
What should I choose?
Hello, I am learning English, but I have a problem, which is that I can understand most of the words 70%, but I cannot speak. I literally forget the words that I know and understand. If you find it in another context So I am confused, either I practice speaking, which does not help me acquire new words, but I have become able to speak, or I focus on learning new words, which does not make me able to speak, and I will remain in the same problem. Thanks for reading if you have any suggestion please tell me
Where are these accents from?
Hello everyone, I'm not a native speaker and I'm learning to speak English. I really love these two accents and would like to learn how to speak like them. I’ve been analyzing Chris Redfield’s voice from the Resident Evil series, by Roger Craig Smith and Captain America's voice by Chris Evans. Their voices sound so great. But I can’t pinpoint if it matches a specific regional accent in the United States or if it’s more of a neutral American accent. I will post two YouTube video links as examples: Could you please listen to the voices and tell me what you think? Do their voices remind you of a certain city or region? I want to then do my best to research those please to learn those accents. Thank you for your help.
