If you are a native English speaker, which is the hardest accent to understand from a non native speaker? I want to improve my pronunciation! Since in a conversation my accent betrays me 😅

'Even though the amount of damage is insignificant, given that the painting is irreplaceable the museum has to be shut down immediately', said the police officer in an assertive tone. Two weeks after that the investigation was still inconclusive. One more day one more tiny piece of writing. It's better than nothing, isn't it? Thanks a lot!! Best regards :)

In this sentence, "If someone gives me bad advice, should I be mad at them" Why it's "them" rather than "him/her"because "someone" is the singular form here. Thanks in advance!

It’s stormy today. Lightning is sweeping across the pitch-dark sky, and thunders rumbling and crashing successively. Somehow, this weather has reminded me of the wet monsoon in Vietnam I studied days ago. Climate affects how people live deeply. In Vietnam, people live with floods. They build their houses on stilts and grow rice during the wet season. In the dry season, the Mekong River dries up, and salty water flows in from the sea. Rice can’t grow in salty water. Farmers turn their rice paddies into shrimp farms. After I’ve learned all those things, storms are not that scary anymore. After all, they could be a sort of natural resource and some people are happy living with them.

Hi there! Could you help me, please? What is the most popular translation of the word “ethyl alcohol “ or “medical alcohol” when you come to the pharmacy?

They categorized a number of languages into 5 rankings, based on how many hours are required to reach proficiency as an English speaker. Chinese, Korean, Japnese and Arabic have been ranked as Category 5, which means they're among the hardest to conquer. This may not hit home for Asian speakers, and I wish there was an Asian language difficulty ranking for Asian speakers also. Could someone please edit this?
