Can v2 still be done in English by using the do support
So, instead of saying "At night, I eat sweets", If "v2" was used it'd be "At night do I eat sweets. " This is just an Idea that came to mind. Thank you.

Is it normal to sound lazy in English for some sounds?
Hi! I have been learning English for 10 years. I was lucky to be able to gain some followers in a Chinese app by sharing my English learning tips. However, I have been getting comments about my wrong pronunciation for words like "speak" in this[ video](http://xhslink.com/a/3x7xynrAmsN6). I was told that I pronounced "speak" as "speik". Not sure if it is true. Is it just me or just the fact that some of the sounds will alter a bit or tend to sound lazier when talking fast?
is there a way of not getting confused with these body parts?
well, let me explain first before you think i’m too dumb: i know it’s obvious that forehead is on the head and foreskin is down there, but both have a head and a lot of times i say foreskin meaning forehead. the same happens with cheeks and buttcheeks. obviously buttcheeks are not on the face, but i still manage to say it super often and it’s just so embarrassing. it happens with ankle, uncle and knuckle too. sometimes i say “uncle” when i mean ankle or knuckle, or ankle when i mean knuckle, and vice versa. i’m 28 already, i should have learnt it by now
What is a 2:30?

Apps to study English
Hey Redditors! I have intermediate English level, and I noticed that most English learning apps are focused on new learners and almost useless for me. So I decided to make a list of apps that can help you study and improve your English if you’re already at an intermediate level or higher. Here are my top picks: Grammar: I recommend **Grammarly** because it directly corrects your grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes as you write. It also gives helpful explanations, so you can learn from your errors and improve over time. Speaking: **GetFluently** is a great app to study and practice English. It creates personalized exercises based on your conversations and helps to fix common mistakes in your spoken English. It also generate ai feedback on your pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, which helps to sound more natural. Reading: **Beelinguapp** shows you the text in both your language and in English, so you can easily compare and understand new words and sentence structures. Accent: **Boldvoice** offers specific exercises to help you speak more clearly and reduce the influence of your native accent. Writing: I like to use Journal app on iPhone to write my thoughts in the end of the day. Both great for practicing writing and reflecting on your reflecting on your experiences. Let me know if you have any recommendations to add!

I found the English word "new" seems to have the 4 tones in Chinese: - new year --------the "new" reads like the 1st tone in Chinese. - new or old? ------the "new" reads like the 2nd tone in Chinese. - New Zealand ----the "new" reads like the 3rd tone in Chinese. - news -------------the "new" reads like the 4th tone in Chinese. - but I am not sure, would like to hear the friends comments.
What does "used to ain't the same as ought to" mean?
Hello everyone. I'm having trouble understanding what the sentence "used to ain't the same as ought to" means. I understand that "used to" is referring to Viv being used to sleeping without a bed, but I don't understand what the rest of the sentence means. What does Cal mean here?
