What's your favourite TV drama?! I would like to watch some interesting TV dramas(English-language) with the hope that I can get used to the sound of English and learn some practical English expressions from them. It'd be great if you could give me some recommendations! (Recommended films are also welcome!) So far I watched "Skins(s1)," "Sherlock(s1,2,3)," "Death in Paradise(s1,2)," "Lewis(s1,2)," "Endeavour(s1)," and a few more:)

Have you ever felt like this when you speak a foreign language?

Have you ever felt as if you were being someone else when you speak a foreign language?
Sometimes when I speak in English, I feel like I'm being someone else.
It's not like being a totally different person from yourself but you feel that some parts of your personality are different or a bit changed.
Well, having written this topic so far, I jut started worrying that I could come across as a weirdo haha
Hoping someone can relate to my feeling and share your opinions or experiences about it :)

 

 

Sorry for my bad English.

How do English speakers study French? ((I don't know which language(English/French) question this would be so I post this on both. Please notify me if you think this post should be removed from here.)) I have a question to any English speakers who are studying French. I have studied French a few times before but always failed it...but lately, I'm thinking of studying French...AGAIN. So what I wanna know is how English speakers study French since I find it easier to understand French grammar or vocabularies in English rather than studying it in Japanese. Hoping anyone could give me some advice :) Thanks in advance.

How do you take the meaning of this lyrics? Recently, I'm very much into the band called Rhye. Today, I was reading their lyrics and just noticed there are two different words written for the same line... which are "I'm a fool for your [barely]" and "I'm a fool for your [belly]" Well, I think the second one is grammatically correct and I get the meaning. But in their official lyric sheet, it says "barely" not "belly" and that makes me very confused since I don't really get the meaning of it. So... I wanna know how everyone thinks about this lyrics. How do you take the meaning or nuance of it? Thanks

Independent films.

One of my hobbies are watching films.

Recently I tend to like independent films cause there are some really good ones hidden behind the ones with big budgets. It's almost like a treasure hunting, especially you could find your favourite!

I'd be delighted if you told me your favourite independent films :)

 

*it'll be a great help if you corrected some errors of my sentences!

how do you cope with your laziness? this is my first attempt on writing here... sometimes I feel unmotivated to do anything... well, especially to study I must say. I know what I should do like memorising new vocabularies or idioms... but just can't become motivated enough to do them. I guess it's alright if it was just for a short time but my problem is that it could last for quite a long time. so what I wanna ask you guys is how do you keep yourself motivated? (not all the time but when you feel like doing nothing but kinda have to) I'd be glad if anybody could give me some tips of it!
