I am proud of my Egyptian culture because it combines a great history, a kind and warm-hearted people, strong faith, and a rich artistic heritage.

Are these all natural? A baby is lots of joy. A baby is source of joy. A baby brings lots of joy.

Hey guys! My name is Ana — I’m new to italki but not new to the teaching world! 😄 Let me tell you a little bit about myself, and I’d love to hear a bit about you too if you feel like sharing. Like many teachers, I’m a voracious reader, so I spend a lot of my free time reading and traveling. Since the pandemic, I’ve been living a lifestyle often called that of a digital nomad, which allows me to work remotely while spending a few months in different countries. It’s been an incredible experience that’s allowed me to explore this beautiful world we live in and meet so many amazing people. Another fun fact about me is that I love arts and crafts! I’m always taking courses to learn new creative skills — candle-making, embroidery, knitting, pottery, and more. Like many teachers, I’m a lifelong learner, and I truly enjoy discovering new things. 😄

Is this sentence OK? It was left at home. I mean ""I forgot it at home"".

Days of the week in Greek! Listen and Repeat!

Learn the days of the week in Greek! Listen and Repeat!

Who wants to sound like a native English speaker from the United States? Maybe you're wanting to visit the United States. Maybe you're wanting to move to the United States. Maybe you got a job in the United States and you want to be able to communicate with people in your new neighborhood. Or maybe you already live in the United States but were born in another country, but you want to learn how to sound more like you live here. You want to talk to people in the grocery store, book store and more! But your accent is bothering you. Have you ever had someone from the United States really judge your pronunciation? Really listen to all the sounds you make when you speak? Then let you know what letter sounds that you say wrong in American English? Then actually teach you how to say American English letter sounds clearly and correctly. So your nouns, vowels etc sound really clear and understandable. Not like.. 'Sort of like American English' but really American English. That way your listener knows exactly what you're saying without confusion, hesitation, assumptions, mis understanding. Wouldn't your listener appreciate that? Wouldn't that make the conversation more free flowing and more enjoyable? Check out my tutor profile and book a lesson of mine. I've been tutoring students around the world since 2018 to sound more American.

In Business English, What does “cut corners” mean?

The difference between the words: reflection, deflection and refraction The terms reflection, refraction, and deflection describe different ways a wave (like light or sound) or a moving object changes its direction, though reflection and refraction are specific to wave behavior in physics. Here is a breakdown of the differences: Reflection (Bouncing Back) Reflection is the change in direction of a wave when it strikes a boundary between two different media and remains in the original medium. The wave essentially "bounces back" off the surface. Mechanism: The wave hits an interface and reverses its direction of travel. Change in Properties: The speed, frequency, and wavelength of the wave do not change. Example: Seeing your image in a mirror, an echo of sound, or a ball bouncing off a wall. Refraction (Bending Due to Speed Change) Refraction is the change in the direction and speed of a wave as it passes from one medium to another of a different density. The wave's path appears to "bend." Mechanism: The wave crosses an interface and enters a new medium (e.g., from air to water). The change in the medium's density causes the wave's speed to change, which in turn causes it to bend. Change in Properties: The wave's speed and wavelength change, but its frequency remains the same. Example: A straw appearing bent when placed in a glass of water, a lens focusing light, or the formation of a rainbow. Deflection (General Change in Path) Deflection is a general term used to describe the act of something being diverted, turned aside, or changing its course, typically due to an external force or collision. Mechanism: The object or wave encounters an obstacle, field, or force that causes its path to change. Context: It's a broad term often used for projectiles or particles (e.g., a baseball deflected by a glove, an electron deflected by a magnetic field) but can also be used loosely for waves (e.g., wind deflected by a tall building). Relation to Waves: In the context of waves
