Looking for a learning partner

I want to practice my English speaking skills with someone but I don't have anyone near me with whom I can practice. Also I'm a little hesitant as I have never spoke to anyone in English. So if anyone wants to practice HEY we can do that, dms are open

Have You Ever Used the Word "Zeitgeist"?

Hi everyone, I rarely encounter unusual words in my work—and "Zeitgeist" is one of those words that seems to have slipped through the cracks of modern vocabulary. I'm curious: Have any of you ever used this word, or is it just a relic from the past? Whether you recall it from literature, historical texts, or casual conversation, I’d love to hear your experiences. Do you think it still holds any meaning or charm in today's language, or has it faded into obscurity? Looking forward to your thoughts!

Wrote some fun facts about my country. Can you see if it sounds natural?

Under the South Korean Constitution, North Koreans are considered South Korean citizens. So anyone who escapes from North Korea is automatically given South Korean citizenship. Because they are considered South Korean, they don't have to go through processes that foreigners must go through, such as refugee screening or naturalization process. Even if someone is found to be a spy from North Korea, they are severely punished under South Korean laws, but their nationality is not revoked, nor are they deported. Does this sound natural?

is the word “Traipsing” commonly used?

learned this word from a TV show, but it was from an old witch's line, so I'm not sure if it sounds strange or outdated in real life Thanks in advance!(btw is it natural to say 'thanks in advance' in this situation?)

Does this sentence make actual sense? (That "than someone else" part looks unnatural)

Is this just a typo?

Is this just a typo?

What is the meaning of "We want to take let you know..." I just asked to an UK English native speaker and they told me it's a typo. Or is this a formal expression used in the US?

Is "of course" a proper answer in this situation? (the other party is sort of like a manager)

Fiancé" vs "Fiancée: Who's Who?

As a non-native speaker, I always thought "fiancé" was for a guy and "fiancée" for a girl. But now I keep seeing "fiancée" used for both! Is this a new trend or have I been living under a rock? Should I stick to the classic rules, or is it all fair game now?
