Had my first lesson with a new teacher, a young British guy. Everything was OK until we slipped into discussing the political situation.

And now I don't even know whether I can take English lessons from somebody with such beliefs. Surely, I consider him to be in the wrong and myself to be in the right.

Question to the Redditors: will you explain your reasons for why you wouldn't go with the teacher, or is it better to just do the good old ghosting?

Hello everybody!

Question to non-beginner follows or even advanced follows - how do you handle dancing with quite a beginner leader for whom even keeping basic step (especially in shag) is already a great challenge?

(Not sure the context will add anything to the question, but anyway - there is a beginner leader whom I started to avoid after a couple of dances since it is exactly the case - he is very beginner. I felt shitty but can't help it)

It's summer and a season of dancing outdoor. We have now at least once a week a social somewhere on open air. The problem is the "dance floor" which can be either a pure concrete or some stones which also not very favorable to swivels and turns.

How do you deal with it?

Recently I noticed that if I need to put a question - in written or spoken form, I rarely make it according to the grammar rules - auxiliary verb in the first place or question word in the first place. You know, the way we had been taught at school. My questions would be the affirmative statements with a question mark at the end. Maybe I will add "correct?" at the end

So I wanted to ask how this form of asking question is perceived by native English speakers.

Some time ago, YouTube suggested a video by a young American opera singer (actually, a former opera singer). On her channel, she discussed some interesting topics, particularly from the perspective of someone who had been inside the "industry." She expressed criticism of various aspects of opera, including what she described as a kind of "code of conduct" at the opera.

She asks: "Opera, why so strict? Why can't people bring a glass of wine to their seats and drink during the performance? Why does there have to be recording-studio silence? Those who want to watch opera in complete silence can do so in the comfort of their own living rooms. There are many good recordings in high quality—go for it!"

I left a comment saying that those who want to drink and talk during a performance can easily do so in the comfort of their own living rooms.

Now I would like to ask for your opinion.

Thank you.

Ciao! Volevo chiedere se c'e una parola oppure che parola si usa in italiano che significa la stessa cosa come "mañana" in spagnolo, una parola italiana che abbia esattamente lo stesso valore culturale di mañana

Grazie

Not sure subject is self-explanatory. My question is - which notation opera prefers? Does it depend on voice/instrumental or territory?

Thank you
