I'm not sure if this is a joke in a specific country or just in English in general. Do they actually eat a lot of donuts?

English isn't my first language🥲 so I'm desperately trying to improve my vocabulary and generate creative ideas.😛😛

"Spread love, joy and peace. That is what I want the world to feel, magic!" This iconic quote from my favourite movie, Micheal (2026) has touched the hearts of millions. I watched this movie during the school holidays with my cousins. Needless to say, it was one of the most heart-warming, entertaining film I've ever watched.

This biographical film illustrates the life of the renowned King of Pop, Micheal Jackson. It brings viewers into the superstar's experience during the formation of the boy band, Jackson 5 as well as the ups and downs of stardom. In the end, Micheal steps away from the group and becomes a solo artist, ultimately leading to the legendary icon we all recognise today.

The magnificence of this movie is significantly contributed by the lead actor, Jaafar Jackson. It's worth while to note that Jaafar is the real life nephew of Micheal, who succeeded in portraying the personality, voice and appearance of his uncle. Additionally, this film paid tribute to the superstar by bringing back his music for future generations to see, continuing his legacy as time goes on.

In essence, Micheal(2026) has highlighted the importance of combining hard work with perseverance. It teaches viewers that talent is a gift but hard work is what unlocks one's potential. I'd highly recommend my peers watch this film as its highly inspiring and motivational.

When I say applications, I mean some that I can find on Google. Not on Google Playstore. Application official, like "reliable." I want to know my level English. Do you know applications test for knowing my English level? 🤔

Hi, everyone. I am an international nursing student in Australia. I have been learning English over the past 5 years through various media content.

The problem is that it seems too awkward for many people who interact with me. I am concerned about my language skills and the future career due to this issue. One person even told me that they don't want to work with me because of my English.

You may have noticed how bad my English is by just looking at the post. I will appreciate if people in this subreddit can help me to improve my English.

Does this make sense in English?

So apparently my German school is offering an exchange program, where you can spend 2 weeks in Liverpool and get a C2 language certificate. And no, not a participation certificate. They really said we would get a C2 language certificate. In the part of Germany where I live, you're automatically considered a C1 after approximately 9 years of English education at school. For context, my classmates in grade 12 (so 8 years of English at school) still struggle with basic grammar and realistically aren't proficient enough to have a C1 certificate. I find this very annoying, because it took me years to master English by regularly practicing and I'm finally at a level where I can understand complex topics and talk without having to translate anything in my head. I just don't understand how they can just give out language certificates like that.

Hi everyone! I want to improve my English speaking and writing skills. My English is not very good yet, but I'm willing to learn and practice every day.

Can anyone give me some advice or help me practice English? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Is it true that in English weekday requires an indefinite article while weekend doesn't?

Today is a weekday, and tomorrow is weekend.

I don't translate but sometimes I can't find the words in English. Sometimes the words in my native language come to mind first. Is that considered translating?

The discussion regarding whether international sports organizations are fundamental to achieving the purpose of alleviating tensions between countries has remained highly contested for decades.

Holaa tengo 19f años y me gustaría hacer amigos, practicar inglés (nivel A2, tenme paciencia JAJA 😭 ) y también me encantaría aprender portugués aunque no se mucho aun, A cambio, puedo ayudarte con español y resolver cualquier duda que tengas 🫶

Me gusta el anime, la música y conocer otras culturas. Me encanta la gente habladora, que se interese por la conversación y que tenga ganas de hablar a diario y contarnos sobre nuestro día.

Si te animas, escríbeme y cuéntame un poquito sobre ti y de paso si quieres dame recomendaciones sobre tus gustos o algo que te parezca interesante 💌🌷

I believe that I already learned most or all of the phonics rules. I already learned quite a few prefixes and suffixes and I have been studying the phonics rules for the past year.

The last few weeks I started a new strategy of just memorizing four random words a day every day. The problem is that I wasn't really revisiting the new and older words immediately, and now it feels like I forgot them all.

My question is, is this the best way to learn spelling by just memorizing the thousands of words in the English language? How should I go about efficiently memorizing words?

And most importantly I want to know if I should start memorizing big groups of word families like -ack, -tion and -ate, because by memorizing a group of word families I can do more words in a day like twenty instead of four, but I am worried that doing word families will help temporarily with speed but it won't be as affective as four random words.

Hello! As native speakers, can you help me correct this text? I am just practicing my writing skills and I want to work with real people.

Thanks in advance!

Man, cinema is paramount to me. I love cinema with all my heart and with enough passion, to become a director in the future. I hope, I will able to achieve everything my dreams. Because I am responsible for my future. I can't just sit on the sofa and play computer

Sure, I know, you need take a breath. But can you understand, like I said, movies are all for me. The biggest plus movies in the English learning process is lies in listening practice. I.e, you can watch movies and simultaneously practice your listening skills.

First question: Is there any difference between "stick up for" and "stand up for" someone?

Second question: Does selling someone out simply mean betraying them or is it a more specific kind of betrayal?

I am struggling with the conditionals. They are really complicated. But something that I noticed is that I didn't see conditionals in the future tense in grammar books.

I mean, I am not sure if I can express something like that:

If it will be raining, we could need an umbrella.

Ok I think this sentence could be covered under the first conditional (I think), but I would like to add a slight possibility that this will not happen.

I mean, the idea is to express a condition that there is some possibility of something happening in the future, but I am not 100% sure.

The same happens for modal verbs:

If you could do that for me, I will pay you.

Unfortunately, it still happens and it bothers me so much.

My native language is Malay, which is completely different to English. It has no tenses or verb conjugations, no plurals, no articles and no gendered pronouns.

Today, I used "he" instead of "she", AGAIN. And I forgot to pluralise nouns or use articles. Even though, English verb conjugations are relatively simple, I still mess them up. Some mistakes happen every day, some happen less often.

I know you're going to say practice makes perfect. Yes, it does, I guess. Said practice probably will take a few more years though :(

These lyrics came out of the Green Day Rock Song "Letterbomb". I always wondered what they meant as they may refer to something hidden to me.

What does "underbelly stacks up" mean?

What about "a flunky along for the ride"? And what does it have to do with "collecting unemployment checks"?

The lyrics:

Where have all the bastards gone?

The underbelly stacks up ten high

The dummy failed the crash test

Collecting unemployment checks

Like a flunky along for the ride
