Thank you Kerin, first of all I apologize for having monopolized the forum with the giant video, I didn’t expect while I was posting it 🙂 !

My corrections:

– being confident about

– not sure on this

– expressing yourself

Thanks for sharing your point of view, I’ve just realized it’s the first time that I’m having a discussion on this topic with a…

Even if I’m not obsessed, I do care about pronunciation because I think it completes the comprehension of a language. In general, being confident on pronunciation helps you avoiding taking a beamer, on the contrary, not being confident can make you shy away from express yourself. In my opinion, I truly believe it is worth to valorize the nuance…

“Any road” said the man with the skirt. After two hours passed driving through the heath and the fog, Marc was asking himself if he picked the wrong one or if the gentleman was mocking him, he heard it is common with foreigners like him.

He was heading to a little town where he would have spent the night. He was the only one in his office that…

Got it, thanks!

Thank you Kerin, double checking would be a better option in order to spare some mistakes. Please find my correction here (I still have a doubt on “Sure is”):

I think that slang is affected by many factors and laziness could be one of them, but I WOULDN’t say that it is the most relevant one. OF COURSE slang gravitateS towards what is all the…

Hi Kerin, thanks for sharing.

Just a couple of questions on the topic. Isn’t it also “eager on” a valid option for example n.2?

I’ve just read a title on my news feed, which says: “Working from home bolster Paolo’s love ON biscuits” (I changed the subject and object, but not the structure). I would have used FOR instead, is it still correct?

Thank you.

Thank you @Kerin , I actually enjoyed writing this “script”. Maybe I could name it “boredom in the house”, but let’s see if I can come up with something more catchy.
