Hi everyone! I am 23 year old woman from Slovakia. I am looking for someone with whom I can practice my English. I can offer friendship, variety of central European culture/cuisine and Slovak language. I study political science and security studies, so current events are my hobby! I also like to talk about everyday philosophy, literature, movies, religion in general and pets! Pics of my cat as a bonus 😂 You may or may not be native speaker, both is fine.
Thank you all for your messages (few were a bit scary, never mind :D) I would like to specify that I am mostly interested in practicing spoken English- Zoom/Skype/other.
Looking for someone who makes me laugh and genuinely enjoys my sense of humour
Comedy geek who loves satire, standup, dystopia and sci-fi with a special place in her heart for lame puns :p often found theorising about hypothetical scenarios: what's the best hideout in a zombie apocalypse? Edit: That was rhetorical cuz I've talked enough about zombies for one lifetime now.
Also, I'm practically blind without my glasses, more of a liability than a survival partner when said apocalypse finally comes around haha 👓
I value: Truth, compassion🤍 and humour.
~At risk of sounding like a pick me girl, I have a confession to make: I have been teased irl for saying that other people's looks do not matter to me; of course having a healthy body is important but I believe that people should be neither proud nor ashamed of something about themself that they had no control/influence over. Hoping to meet someone someday who also thinks this way.
Even if you disagree with me, I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
So, no pics at first cuz I wanna get to know you not the wrapping paper you came with🙃 but I'm up for video calling later on if our personalities mesh well.
Warning: humour drier than the Sahara.
Let's turn this pandemic into a pundemic 🤓
~if you can find out where I live🕵♀ you're invited over~
If you read this far, tell me your age and let's get to know each other.
Hello!
I am wondering if there is any theater which has plays or shows in English in Brussels. Or what other culture gems (except museums) are nice to check around the city. Thank you!
I've always been interested about other languages so I don't mind seeing the non-English words at all, as long as there's a glossary at the back. I also know a little Mandarin, so if Chinese-inspired novels use a lot of Chinese terms I understand them just fine. But I rather frequently see Goodread reviews complaining about foreign words being used in the novels. Like, with Japanese-inspired books sometimes I see people complain that all the Japanese words made it sound like a bad anime fanfic.
I'm curious what you guys think about it. Do you like it? Dislike it? Depends on frequency/necessity?
I don't care. I am sick to death of ghetto people. Y'all born ignorant, stay ignorant, and die ignorant. Now, you got these white liberals trying to parade it around as a culture. Hell no. The top minds from poor communities do NOT act like you. LeBron, Thomas, etc left that shit in the dust and grew. But they aren't isolated cases. Yes they are rich-rich, but that doesbt mean you have to be poor-poor. You can be middle class at worst, but you have to get away from that no-class mentality.
Specifically I want to know how the English word "by" is used in Arabic.
The very late follow up to my old post on the Mods and my, likely mistake laden, interpretation on how the Mod subculture would develop differently to OTL. Once again, the likelihood of these subcultures being the exact same as OTL is pretty low due to the extenuating circumstances of England by the game's start. But this doesn't necessarily mean they would completely cease to exist, and I'd like to see how these subcultures would best fit into TNO's timeline. This time the subculture that I'll be theorizing about will be the rival faction of the previously mentioned Mods: The Rockers.
Rockers: The British take on Greasers, with a reverence for American Rock, souped up motorcycles, youthful freedom and expression, and a surprising fascination with the concept of death. Like the Mods, I feel the majority of their more iconic features would be switched up at game start. They likely wouldn't really begin to develop fully as a full on subculture in England until the months leading up to the Civil War when the tensions would begin to start boiling over with HMMLR beginning to become more prolific in their actions against the collaborator government, as well as becoming more active in terms of media distribution. And, of course, the CIA getting involved in the Isles and Scotland beginning to smuggle in materials would begin the first trickling of Americana influences in England outside of the Breton black markets since the end of WW2. Speaking of which, this is actually a good time to bring up the new potential birthplace of Rockers that would serve as a springboard for its spread into England: Scotland.
The Allied defense of Britain managed to halt the German onslaught around where the 1962 borders of England and Scotland lie. England fell but Scotland and Wales were able to secure independence and are considered some of the last democracies in the British Isles and Europe as a whole. Scotland has since come to hold a sizeable amount of English refugees and serve as one of Britain's main connections to the OFN and a valuable ally to the English resistance (since they help smuggle in operatives and material across the land border). Since Scotland is actually connected to the OFN in a way and would actually be the one importing some of the American media that would influence the Rocker subculture (which would subsequently flow into England at some point under the Coll

Unfortunately, I can only speak English

Hello! I'm a native English speaker from the east coast (20F). I love learning about different cultures and systems of belief, and I'd be more than willing to help someone out with anything having to do with English. I'd also like to learn some common phrases in other languages. Besides learning about culture and religion, I really enjoy listening to music, and I find international politics to be pretty interesting as well.
I'm hoping to make friends through this post! If anyone would like to talk a bit and see if we'd be compatible as conversation partners, feel free to direct message me.
Meaning Wan Shi Tong likely knows way more than 10,000 factoids, and the Avatar hasn’t necessarily been around for exactly 10,000 years.
I just saw a lot of people taking those periods of time as exact measurements, so I thought I would put this out there.
So in English speaking western countries, it can be somewhat common in our culture for people and/or media like films to make little jabs at non-English speakers for having either difficulties or peculiar differences when pronouncing words in English.
e.g. making fun of people's broken English, the difference Mandarin speakers can have in pronouncing their Ls and Rs, non-English people saying words in a sentence in the wrong order, Russians pronouncing "th" as "z" sounds.
I'm curious whether the reverse also happens in non-English speaking countries to English speaking people trying to speak their language (e.g. an English tourist trying to speak Mandarin, French, Portuguese, etc)?
If so what are our common mistakes/differences in trying to speak those languages? What are we mocked for?
For those of you home with family here is a fun little game/survey to see who knows more about the others pop culture older generations or younger generations. You are encouraged to take the quiz by yourself, then have a friend or family member from another generation take the quiz as well. Please guess, even if you do not know the answer.
