¿Qué significa "noisef*ck"? Estoy traduciendo un texto, y hay una parte donde dice "I never fell for the superficial noisefuck." No tengo idea de cómo traducir esa parte. ¿Alguien puede ayudarme?

How would you translate -must I be bound- to spanish? "Must I be bound, and she go free?" how would you say that in spanish?

The lack of art in our school system. (essay) Through all my school years, art or artistic expression were never important. You were good at school if you had good grades in math or sciences. All of that is important, of course, and I must say I was pretty good, even the best of my class. But, I always wondered why we never had art classes, why my friends who had an incredibly insane talent to draw were never as recognized as I was. I remember we had art in highschool (here, highschool lasts only 3 years) We learned how to draw, paint, and play instruments (very briefly because "there was not enough time") but it was SO much fun. I was not good at all... I did some terrible, awful, cringe-worthy paintings my mother decided to hang on the living room when I gave them to her on mother's day (ok, she's my mom, obviously she loved it and almost cried of joy... but seriously, I was terrible) I tried to play guitar - my fingers bled a lot, and no matter how hard I tried, I was terrible on this, too. We were only able to practice when the school needed some musical act for an event, but, if the math teacher needed extra hours to get with the program, the school will sacrifice the art classes. Apparently it was so much important than develop our artistic skills. As I mentioned before, I was the best of my class, and my classmates often would say things like "how can you be so intelligent?" and "you don't have to worry about exams, you are intelligent and we are not" and I'd get mad and a little sad to hear that. Since we are children, we are taught that we have to be good with numbers and stuff to be successful in life; to go to college, get a job, and have a good life. That's true, but... is not the same for everyone. A classroom is full with kids that are so different from each other. Every mind is a world. Why would you teach them stuff that only a few of them will be good at? How can a future Leonardo Da Vinci or Miguel Angel find their passion if they never grab a paintbrush? When I failed at painting or play guitar, I was never, ever told I was dumb. I was just not good at it. But kids who are not good at maths sometimes grow up thinking they are stupid, and good-for-nothing people who will never get a decent job if they don't study hard enough. Whoever makes school programs should think about how their life would be without the music on the radio, or the art that help us to see beauty of things surrounding us. We, the scientific minds, would go crazy.

How can I improve my pronunciation with these words? I am a bit confused about how to pronounce regular verbs in past tense. Some are easy like: needed, wanted, waited... because I pronounce the whole word with the -ed- and sound different from their infinitive form. But when it comes to words that sounds almost the same as their infinitive form, I don't know how to make them sound different. Like - liked, happen - happened, for example. I have a vague idea of how to do it, but it slow me down when talking to someone. My tongue is not used to that, so I'd like to fix it. Thank you.

How to use ain't? I think this is an informal negative form, but I don't really understand how to use it. Can someone give me some examples?

Selfies Yesterday someone told me that, someday in the future, I'll regret not taking pictures of myself. Honestly, I can't see why. Though it's probably true. That doesn't mean I'm gonna start posting selfies everywhere, every damn day. However, I'll leave this -a picture- as a proof. If someone or even myself wants to remember how I looked like at eighteen, I want it to be with all and my freckles and dark circles under my eyes caused by all those restless nights of studying, and worrying about a future that, just maybe, turned out better than I think now. I want to see my flaws, the things that made me insecure back then, and I want to see the pink color on my cheeks, part of the youth that will never come back. I want it to be the realest it can be.

what does it mean "crazy great" in this sentence? So today I was listening to this song called Millions by Gerard Way, and there's a line that goes like this: "You twist my arm, I'm twisting fate. You'll leave alone, or crazy great..." what does "crazy great" mean in this song? I mean, what is he trying to say with that? is this an expression or should I translate the words by separate with their literal meaning? because in spanish it doesn't really make much sense.

Hello :) I'm new on this site, and I came here to practice my english - not because I need to, but because I've always been draw to it. I can read anything in english and understand most of it. I make some translations on websites and I can even understand when people is talking. But, somehow, I can't remember the words or what they mean when it's me who's going to use them. I've never practiced it properly. I have no one to talk to in this language, and when I was on highschool the only thing they taught me was to say hello and other basic things. I would like to speak fluent, and improve my grammar because I know it sucks. People could say that I should take classes, or study with textbooks, but it would be boring and I know I'd lose the interest on learning the language. I am very shy and I've always been. It's hard for me to start a conversation - whereas they're my friends or family or complete strangers. How am I supposed to talk with people I don't know in a language that makes me nervous cause I barely speak? I hope I can find nice people here that has the patience to deal with me. :) And maybe be helpful for those who want to learn some spanish. I'm not a good teacher though, but I'll do my best.
