A French prounciation question. Bonjour! I wonder if I should pronounce p,t,k as b,d,g sounds respectively before a vowel? Like tu /du/, porte /bɔrt/,carte /gart/? Merci d'avance! :)

"Qu'est-ce qui t'arrive?" , what does it mean? "Salut, BenoÎt. Qu'est-ce qui t'arrive? Pourquoi tu es essoufflé?". What does "Qu'est-ce qui t'arrive?" mean? Merci d'avance！:)

In memory of our Thanksgiving night. Something nice happened on our way to the party. First, a little boy with his scooter said 'Bon apétif' (good apetite) to us, though we didn't notice his saying and say "thanks" to him right away.Second, I carelessly kicked someone on a metro, and I turned around to say sorry in Chinese immediately. Unexpectedly, the person was a Chinese girl. And she saw the dishes we held, then we started to talk about our dishes excitedly. We had great fun on the Thanksgiving party. The atmosphere was cool. We laughed a lot. I enjoyed the conversations with people I already know and with strangers. And It's really cool that we could taste specialties from different countries. Like Korean spicy meat, Italien Pasta, fried rice, spring rolls, brownies,pizza,breads with different cheeses,...Hmm, it's a shame that we missed the pumkin pie, which is typical food for Halloween and Thanksgiving Day. I'd like to cook a pumkin pie by myself someday. In one word, this was a unforgetable night! :)

Nov. 21st, 2012 My roommate and I went out to purchase something to cook for Thanksgiving repas in our institue tomorrow evening. We were surprised to see the decorations for Christmas in the commercial center! They looks quite pretty. By the way, we are going to cook Coke chicken wing for the repas. It will be the first time for us to cook the dish. Hope we will succeed.:)

Can "thanks to " be followed by a "bad" reason? Can I say, "Thanks to the POLLUTION, there's no fish in the river."?

Do you say "VERY delicious"? Somebody said English native speakers don't put very bofore delicious, is it true？

“Prologue” :) Hello! I'm a Chinese native speaker, a college student studying in Shanghai. I've been longing for improving my English for ages! Especially oral English. So I'm looking for an English native speaker as a language exchange partner. Feel free to contact me if you want to learn Chinese! We can communicate via Skype, QQ or e-mail, etc. I'm good anyway. Let's practice together! As for my writing here, if you are willing to correct it (which is very nice!), please be really strict with me! It's great if my English reads or sounds quite natural or native!Thanks for your reading! Best wishes to you! :)
