Could anyone please help me understand this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD8tjhVO1Tc I can understand everything but when the voice says something at 2:25, when the blond guy shows up. "We who..." Thanks in advance

How different are "ownership" and "property"? Thanks in advance for your answers!

How to translate "Somos cuatro" into English? This is certainly a very tricky sentence, as we in Spanish simply say: "Somos cuatro", but in English you couldn´t say "we are four" beacuse this means that we are four years old, right?. Someone told me that I must say "There are four of us". I think I could also say it like: "we are four people?. Is there another wway to express this? Thanks in advance!

Differences between "keen to" and "keen on" Hi there! I would like to know the difference between these two expressions. I know that "keen to" means something like eager to do something in the future, or something like that, and "keen on" means something in the present. Could "to be willing to" be a synonym for "keen to"? And, "fond of" for "keen on"? Thanks in advance!

What does "sock it to me" mean? In Fight Club, the character played by Brad Pitt wears a T-shirt with the message "sock it to me" at certain point of the film. I have looked it up in translators but the answers that I get aren´t satisfactory!

Is there any difference between this? I was wondering about these two ways to state the same thing. For example: "In his book, he explains..." and "In his book, he does explain...". Is the last example more formal or more related to writing? Thanks!

Is "forsake" a good synonym for "give up"? I always use "give up" anyway, but I would like to know that if I happen to use it in a situation in which I am not supposed to use phrasal verbs. Thanks!

Why do I find grammar rather useless when studying a target language? When talking in their target language, everyone has to think of the correct words to say. However, in our mother tongue we do not feel such a need. Why? Well, you learned your mother tongue by both listening to others (input) and speaking the things you heard (output). What is more, you learned it without paying attention to grammar and, as a result, you would be able to spot any mistake in any sentence, not because you know by heart all the grammar rules of your language, but because you "feel" it. This tells us the role of grammar when it comes to really speaking a language. You do not make use of it when speaking in your mother tongue. Because of that, grammar rules are only useful when it comes to passing an exam, in which you fill gaps. So, when learning your target language, focus on the input: do read a lot, listen to recordings, and write down every piece of useful vocabulary. As a result you will have whole heaps of new words and expressions. This is not to say that you do not have to study grammar, but you may shrink the time you spend on it. To my mind, this is the way forward.

English learning Have you ever felt that the more you study a foreing language, the more you like your mother tongue? That is what happens to me with English. Do not get me wrong: English is my favourite foreing language but, as I am so accustomed to speak with gender and numer for everything (niña alta, coche caro) and with a verb form for each person (yo tengo, ellos/as tienen) that I find English grammar rather simple (which is good as it is much easier to study). I love English. I feel it is a very beautiful language and sometimes I find it rather challenging. The question opening this text is to say that while studying English I eventually realized that without gender and number and without verb form for each person you can communicate perfectly as well. Two options: either English is very simple or Spanish is too tricky and we could do without so much grammar. Anyway, I by no means will never give up studying English because I love to communicate in this language. Right now I am enjoying writing this :), and when the opportunity arises I speak in English as much as I can.
