Can “partial to” and “vulnerable to” mean the same thing?
I’m writing an essay, and if I said “his insecurities made him partial to her lies” is that the same as saying “his insecurities made him vulnerable to her lies”?

Hod to read and do not get frustrated?
A lot of people says that reading is an excellent way to improve your vocabulary, your gramatic, your English level in general.The problem is when I don't understand many words in a row and I start to feel uncomfortable when I'm reading. Does anybody have advices or tips to quit this feeling?
Do I refer to a letter with he or it?
I‘m practicing my English skills with Duolingo and it keeps correcting me, when I refer to „the letter“ with „it“. I thought that things are always gender neutral in English, so why is a a letter supposed to be „he“? Am I wrong and if yes, can someone explain why?
Commonly used expression in the Classdoom
I'm going to teach English to the elementary school Korean kids starting from the next week. I’m researching expressions that I’ll definitely use, but I haven’t used them yet, so they still feel a bit awkward for me to say. Here are some examples: - Sit up straight. (This is a super basic expression, but I’ve never used straight in this context before.) - One at a time. - Stop playing around. - Stop messing around. - Cut it out. - Alright, that’s enough fun for now. I’m not comfortable using these yet since I’ve never said them before. Do you have any recommendations for commonly used classroom expressions? Also, do you have any phrases for praising or scolding students?
Why isn't there an article in this sentence? : "Mine computer is broken."
Trying to get a solid grasp on English grammar from the rock bottom up, so I'm questioning even the obvious things. Thanks!
What's a slew? Are there words missing? I'm hella confused?

Does this sentence sound dirty?
I'm reading a book about natural hazards. The topic is flash floods, but I am unsure if it sounds weird out of context. "..., peak discharge can be reached in less than 10 minutes."
Dating down VS passport Bros
I heard those terms many times in my English learning Journey, my question is: is people using those terms negatively or positively? Is it normal to say that I am a Passport Bros etc? Is there a fight over those terms? 👌 However, I want to improve my English with native speakers only. I can help with Arabic in return. Please DM me.
