Can you actually learn a language using a language learning app like Duolingo?
I see a lot of language learning apps, and I am not sure if they are actually useful or not. Can they be used as the main tool to learn?
What do the words in yellow mean? I thought ‘batter’ was like a pummel or strike. Should it be butter? Might sound silly but that’s what I thought

Does “over” mean “away” here? Can we say “…three towns away.”?

What sentence do you think is written correctly?
1. It is me who am wrong. 2. It is I who am wrong. 3. It is me who is wrong. 4. It is I who is wrong. In my opinion, I think 2, 3 and 4 are all correct, but 2 will be the most formal and archaic, 3 will be the most casual and 4 will be used in a formal context nowadays. It is just my speculation, how about you? Thank you very much!

Is the word escapee used in daily conversations?
As a middle advanced non-English speaker, I’ve never seen anyone say this word! Even in reality shows and tv series, I can barely remember anyone said that word. So native speakers, did you bump into this word before?
What a native English speaker would say in this instance...
Here's the scenario. A mom is feeding her kid with a spoon in the kitchen. Someone from the living room asks her to come. In this scenario is it natural for a native English speaking mom to say "I can't. I'm feeding the kid"? If not what would be a natural response? Thanks in advance!
