i donāt understand why
Rn, Iām doubting my English. I mean, Iāve 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, Iām at B2. Sometimes I read texts or messages on Reddit or anywhere, and I struggle to understand them. It makes me feel bad, like Iām not making progress. Iām giving everything to English, even at the expense of other languages, even my native language, lol. Iām not learning any other language, Iām really focused on English. But still, I donāt knowā¦ I just donāt understand these days..
Do the words "version" and "virgin" have the same pronunciation?
I always thought that the only difference between the words "version" and "virgin" was the ending soundā "ion" sounds like "en," and "in" sounds like "in." However, ChatGPT told me that the sounds of "s" and "g" are also different: one is /Ź/ and the other is /dŹ/. To me, they sound the same. Can native speakers distinguish these two sounds?
what is the modern way of saying "what a drag" ?
I saw in another post that this sentence is not being used anymore, or it's not the standard anymore, so which sentence is used today to convey the same meaning?

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)

What is your favorite movie you've seen over 5 times?
Mine is "Good Will Hunting". I saw it in my teenagers at the first time and it became my go-to movie. The reason why I loved it so much is because of the relationship between the professor and Will, as well as the relationship between the friend and Will. It's portrayed in a warm way. The professor finds out Will's talent and support him to develop the talent. His friend encourages him to do a challenge. It's very touching. I love touching movies and if you guys have one, share it to me.
Studied English for Years but Still Canāt SpeakāAnyone Else Feel This Way?
Hey everyone, Iāve been thinking about something thatās been bugging me lately. Iāve been learning English for over a decadeāmemorizing vocab, drilling grammar, even acing my high school exams. But when it comes time to actually speak, my mind just goes blank. Yesterday I was video chatting with a foreign friend, hoping to have a fun convo, and I ended up stumbling over my words so badly I had to lean on emojis to save me. Honestly, I wanted to crawl into a hole from the embarrassment. Itās not like I donāt know enough words or grammarāitās this weird mental block where Iām terrified of messing up. Do you guys ever feel this? Especially when you see people effortlessly switching between languages So, Iām curious: how did you get over the āsilent Englishā phase? Any real-life tips or tricks that worked for you? Iād love to hear your stories or thoughts!
5 Things I learned about English from 2 weeks on Reddit
Hey everyone! š Iāve been using Reddit for the past two weeks to improve my English, and hereās what Iāve discovered: 1. Context Beats Grammar Rulesāļø Native speakers donāt always stick to perfect grammar - what matters is how natural it sounds. 2. Slang Is Everywhere š£ļø Phrases like āspill the teaā ā or āhot takeā š„ seemed confusing at first, but context helped me figure them out. 3. Tone Changes Everything š¤š The same sentence can feel friendly or sarcastic depending on punctuation, emojis, or subreddit vibe. 4. Mistakes Are Okay ā Even when my grammar wasnāt perfect, people were kind and focused on understanding me. 5. Itās Like Language Immersionš Reddit exposes you to real, everyday English thatās impossible to learn from a textbook. Anyone else using Reddit to practice English? Share your experience! š
