We often come across a tone, an image, or a line in poetry that feels uncannily familiar—yet eludes articulation. What within us is stirred by this timeless resonance?

I have always wondered how the various teaching paradigms offered by teachers and the distinct learning approaches adopted by students align on this platform. Are teachers expected to have a solid grounding in linguistics and complete a teaching certification, in addition to showing empathy? How do you feel about using bilingual texts compared to total immersion? Setting aside financial concerns, what would the ideal language-learning schedule look like? What is the most challenging aspect of both teaching and learning a language, based on your personal experience?

Dear teachers: My post 'violated guidelines'! I am not sure what is going on. I am very new to this website. Do you know if there is anything improper on my writing and I will definitely avoid to use it. Thank you very much!

‎Hi! “It's (high) time+pronoun+past verb form” I was talking with a native speaker the other day and he told me we should use infinitive after this expression, but according to the grammar book, we can never use infinitive in this case. Only if we were to say something like: it is time for us to... And I really want to know your opinion. Does it even sound natural? For instance: It's (high) time we bought presents. And also, is "high" often used there, or is it rather an obsolete language structure? It's just that I want to speak correctly in terms of grammar, but I don't want to sound like a dialogue from a grammar textbook…

This is a special Chinese festival that we seldom introduce it to foreign feinends. It's the Ghost Day. Though its name sounds very scary, it's just a festival that we are in memory of our ancestors. So, it's nothing about ghosts on that day.It is also very different from the Hallows' Day which is celebrated for fun. On the Ghost Day, the relatives who have the same ancestors gather together and visit the graveyard where their ancestors buried. In Chinese culture, after people passed away, their offsprings think that something special and important are passed down from their accestors. These things teach them to work hard to have a better life or to be a kind person. It's just like a root of a family. All the offsprings follow the rule to do a living. In order to let all the relatives remember their ancestors' edification, all of them show their respect for their ancestors and share each other's interesting things about their life on that day. If it's possible, a picnic is necessary. So, the Ghost Day is not only for the past, but also for the wonderful future. The Ghost Day of this year is on the Lunar July 15th every year.
