Question for US English speakers: There’s this expression in English, “put someone off”, that can mean “make someone discouraged”, “cause someone to dislike something”. It has a close meaning to the expression “turn someone off”. The thing is, though, that “turn someone off” usually have sexual connotations. Besides, in many dictionaries, it says that “put someone off” is mainly a British expression. I’d like know if that expression is also used in the US. If now, what would you say in the following sentences? “His lack of motivation really puts me off” “The rain put me off going out tonight” Thank you

Hallo! Ich suche ein Gesprachtspartner fur Deutsch. Ich kann sprechen, aber ich mache immer noch Fehler:)) Ich hoffe, dass ich will bald verbessern. Je cherche quelqu'un pour pratiquer ma Française avec. Je peux entendre presque tout, je regarde films en français sans sous-titres, mais mon accent est vraiment terrible :)) J'espère que je vais rencontre quelqu'un et je vais amélioré mon niveau en Français. Tabien estoy buscando alguien, para platicar en espanol. Es un idioma muy similar con rumano (mi lengua materna). Mi nivel de espanol es B1-B2, como en frances, pero espero que mi accento es un poco mas bueno:)) In exchange, I could help you with your English or your Romanian. I am bilingual and have been speaking both languages since the age of 5. I would love to hear about your culture and share some aspects of mine as well! :) We can talk about any subject. Some of my favorite ones are: foreign languages, culture, politics, history, philosophy and economics, but I'm always open to new ideas! Looking forward to meeting you! :)

What books do you recommend? Recently I am reading Stephen King's "the shining" but still don't have the motive to finish it 😂 usually I will prefer to read the novels which movies based on because it would be easier for me to picture the scenes inside my head. I'm open to all kinds of novels :) thanks! #EFL

Would you correct my writing?? Can you help us attract more visitors to our town? If you have any interesting ideas about how we can make our town more attractive to tourists, email us at: services@towntourism.com To whom it may concern, I am writing to you regarding your notice about ideas to attract more visitors to our town. I have lots of ideas and I would like to share them with you. Firstly, in order to attract younger visitors organising musical events could be a good idea. There are many young singers who would be to the moon if they had the chance to perform in our town. Secondly, building new walking tours would be great. I think that there are many people who would like to have a walk, but they cannot because of the absence of walking tours. Thirdly, our town is surrounded by fantastic parks. I suppose that families will be over the moon if the parks are cleaner. So, keeping clean our parks will make our town more attractive to families. In conclusion, I think that our town has a lot of unexplored potential. If you follow my ideas, I think it will be more attractive for tourist. Your faithfully, Matteo

What's the meaning of 'thus them'? ... the Westerners focused on the party’s stated mission to save the country from hunger and want. That would surely involve trade with the West, and ***thus them***.

Hi Italkers! My name is Abbos and I come from Tashkent; it's the capital of Uzbekistan. My first language, though, is Russian not Uzbek. I'm not going to explain you why because it's a long story. And also, I'm fifteen years old. Anyway, I've been looking for some new friends around the world lately, whom I'd be able to chat with on a regular basis and at the same time, know more about their culture, country and etc. So, if you want to become my friend, feel free to DM me; my profile is open to everyone. By the way, it took me a while to find out how to do that, so please appreciate the work; just joking 😁. But please note that if you're an American, it'll be difficult for us to connect since there is a 10-hour time difference between our countries. Hope to see you soon.
