Being fluent in "american" i have so much trouble pronoincing anything with "meter" i dont why, but its difficult. Kilometer, speedometer, etc. How do I fix that?

I got this from DuckDuckGo, but is this correct?

Y in the Word "Always"

In the word "always," the letter Y functions as a vowel.

Explanation

Position: The Y is at the end of the second syllable, which is a key factor in determining its role.

Sound Contribution: It contributes to the vowel sound in the word, making it essential for pronunciation.

Summary

Word Always

as a Vowel: Yes

as a Consonant: No

In conclusion, in "always," Y acts as a vowel because it is positioned at the end of a syllable and helps create the vowel sound.

I always struggle when exercises with these grammars appear, some of them are similar to me.

1. I have a schedule clash.

2. “I have a schedule clash.

3. I have a scheduling conflict.

4. I have a schedule conflict.

5. I have a schedule collision.

6. Our schedules clashed

7. Our schedules conflicted.

8. Our schedules collided

I need to choose the best option to complete the sentence:

Stephen Hawking was a great scientist. Still he ??? the Nobel Prize yet.

Options:

1- didn't win

2 - hasn't won

3 - hadn't won

The word "yet" is killing me. Hawking died in 2018, so he can't win the Nobel Prize, right? And they acknowledge that he died because he WAS a great scientist.

If not for "yet," I would use "didn't win," but we have "yet," so should I use "hasn't won" despite the fact that he is already dead???

Hi, my name is Jerome, i’m from Mexico so my native language is spanish, and i’m 28 yo.
Looking for someone to chat and keep practicing and improve my english level, and also would be nice to meet new friends and meet people from other countries.

Hey everyone! I'm a Brazilian student learning English, and I'm looking for someone to practice with regularly. I can understand English pretty well when reading or listening, i have difficulties with my speaking skills. I don't get many opportunities to actually talk to people in English, so I'd like to change that.

I'm a native Portuguese speaker, so if you're learning Portuguese, i'd be happy to help you too. I'm interested in history and philosophy.

If you're interested, feel free to send me a message.

I originally thought it was "pull up your sleeves" but recently learnt that "roll up" is the appropriate verb to use. Is the same verb used for trousers' legs? Would you say "roll up your legs"? Does that make sense?

title says it all but is there a male equivalent of "mean girls"?

I have been practicing by myself for the last 4 months. This helped me get more confident when I speak. I can produce English without using a translator or even thinking in my mother language. Ok, I make some mistakes, and I tend to use only the present (simple and perfect) when I speak or write.

However, when I watch a video on Youtube such as vblogs or monologues from native speakers wahoo my mind goes blank from the first minute. I get the general ideas from time to time, but I lose important details.

On the other hand, I took a english tests online, and yeah, my English level is around B1/B2 but I'd like to say that I feel my listening is A2 or B1-.

This is important for me because something that I noticed at work is that I need to listen carefully to the other person or even ask for repetition frequently. What do you recommend? because I think I got stuck at this point.

Reading the Fight Club.

Where do you think that I from?
