i don’t understand why
Rn, I’m doubting my English. I mean, I’ve been learning English for about one or two years. I really want to reach C2 level because I want to live in London. But for now, I’m at B2. Sometimes I read texts or messages on Reddit or anywhere, and I struggle to understand them. It makes me feel bad, like I’m not making progress. I’m giving everything to English, even at the expense of other languages, even my native language, lol. I’m not learning any other language, I’m really focused on English. But still, I don’t know… I just don’t understand these days..
What's the third blank?
At first I thought it would be communication but that's number six, I think.
'I don't disagree that...'
Hi there and thanks a lot for helping with English! I have seen 'I don't disagree that' a couple of times recently in other discussions and I have a question. Agree and disagree have opposite meanings. So 'I don't agree'= I disagree. And vice versa ' I don't disagree'= I agree. Why would someone use this complicated negative form 'I don't disagree' when there is 'I agree'? Does this form has other additional shade if meaning?
What are those curtains that aren't curtains called?

How would you answer this question? The answer A feels right but apparently the correct one is C. (Polish national English contest finale, I'd grade the difficulty at around C2)

Is this correct?

The context is we’re ordering at a restaurant. “Two ice water, please.” Can we say this informally and drop “…cups of…”? Can “ice water” be pluralise as in “two ice waters”?

What does "to boot" mean?
Hi everyone! I'm having a hard time to understand what does the verb "to boot" mean? I've seen that verb a couple times in books (that were adapted for a certain level of English proficiency), and now I've found it again in this sentence: "*If you’re going to boot, so help me, please*" I have no idea what does it mean. I tried to look up the meaning of this verb on the internet, but nothing really fits this sentence. Please can someone explain me what does it mean?
I am really confused about this word
Whats the meaning of 'Audacity'? And in what different contexts it can be used? Sorry I am learning English and came across this word many times and also in a reddit sub. Please help me : )
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!
