Hi everyone 🌼 I’d love to get your advice on improving my speaking flow and pronunciation. My English is at an upper-intermediate level, I can hold a conversation quite well, but my pronunciation still sounds a bit “Frenglish” (a mix between French and English accent 😅). Recently, I gave the closing remarks at an international symposium. It went well, but I realized that my speaking sounded like I was reading from a paper, even though I was really engaged and passionate about what I was saying. Do you have any tips or exercises to sound more natural, confident, and expressive when speaking English? Many thanks in advance 💙

大家好！ What meaning does the sentence have? 这道题我算错了。 I have to put the right resultative comolement, so I put 错

Which sentence would you rather use? I don’t have a candle. I have no candle. Just met a guy who claims that the second option is way more commonly used and is more convenient than the first one. Not sure what to think 🤔

Hello:) Could you help me?) The sentences: 1) Buskers can’t play anywhere they want to. 2) What kind of music do you listen to? Why do we need to use to at the end? Can I just say buskers can’t play anywhere they want or what kind of music do you listen?

Do the Book of Changes (Yijing) and the practice of gewu share a common logical foundation, and to what extent might their insights remain relevant in contemporary society?

How would you describe the photograph without using the word sepia, yet still convey its warm, nostalgic touch? Would the description of its color concern the tone or the hue more? I can’t help but wonder if that’s how the thread to the word’s original meaning slowly fades—hidden like a gem, waiting for the next logophile to discover it. Es una vieja fotografía color sepia, desteñida por el tiempo, donde, sin embargo, aún se la puede ver con claridad.

Choose the correct answer.

Hello everyone! I have a (native speaker English) family member that wants a refresher on advanced English. Does anyone have experience teaching native speakers middle/highschool level English? Thank you in advance!

‎ I was reading a manga, and I noticed something interesting. Most of the characters in that manga used “〜no koto (のこと)” when they confessed their feelings, but one girl didn’t use it , there’s no “のこと” at all. I was wondering 🤔— does it feel different when someone confesses without saying “のこと”? Or make it non-romantic I’m really curious — do you think that changes the feeling or nuance of her words? Or maybe the author didn’t use it for a specific reason? 🤔 I hope he’s not trolling us again Can somebody help me understand if that girl has romantic feelings for the boy then why didn't the author use のこと in her confession
