You should go around pubs and start random conversations with people to expose yourself to various accents, for example you could ask if they know what the redpill is

Sounds like a great idea, Irish people are well know for their hospitality and their kindness towards foreigners especially when they're drunk.
Nothing could go wrong if I were to ask a drunk Irish in a pub what he thinks a real man is

Re: Speak in English, please.
Well, I'm getting ready for my trip in Ireland, and that process involves calling the hotel clerk multiple times to figure out why they want more money from us than my aunt's Booking account says are due.
And we got that figured out in the end, my aunt had some points that qualified us for a discount of a couple hundred bucks, so we were seeing a lower amount from our part and the hotel was seeing a higher one, and nobody knew that the difference will be paid by Booking.org.
Anyway, that doesn't matter anymore, I just hope that tomorrow morning the hotel will respond to my clarification email so that we can make the 25% upfront deposit that they asked us.
I've been practicing my speaking skills in the past few days, I haven't spoken English in a long while and I'm definitely rusty, and speaking to an AI has helped me a lot, I still fumble on my words a lot, but I'm slowly getting into the rithm of the language, and that's great.
Well, we'll see how it goes in Ireland, all I know is that I've already been nominated the official spokesperson for the entire group, so booking places, asking for directions/ tickets make an order at the bar, it's all on me.
What an onor -_-

I'm doing some test for English knowledge. In a question they asked which was the right word to use in this sentence: 'You ___ better see a doctor' and the right answer was 'had', instead I've chosen 'should'.
Why? Is it used for the past and is the translation of 'Avresti fatto meglio a consultare un dottore?'
|
Should sounds very odd in that context, I can't tell for sure but I feel like both should and the word better are an invitation to do something and they don't work together, you should see a doctor on the other hand is totally fine.
That being said "you had better see a doctor" sounds pretty formal, I'd say "you'd better see a doctor" is much more commonly used.

It's better not to focus too much on translations to understand English (or any other language). I'm don't know much of English grammar in terms of knowing the facts but I can tell if something sounds wrong/right or natural. I think you could say "you should see a doctor", so probably the problem is the word "better" there. You can't put "should" before "better."
Actually, depending on the context of the sentence, you could also leave it blank and say "you better see a doctor", but in this case it would be about the present moment and so it'd have a different meaning than "you had better see a doctor."

If there's something that really grinds my gears about my English, that's the fact that I'm still unable to understand the lyrics of most songs on the radio.
Sure sometimes the song is a little bit garbled or muffled or whatever, but even if I ho back to it a second time in my room, on my good headphones I'm still unable to get the gist of what they're saying, and that holds true with some of my favorite songs as well, that I've listed to many times before.

Don't worry, sometimes I don't get even the lyrics of italian songs...

It's a bit frustrating, I thought I could flex on my little sister by translating some of her favourite songs at the radio in real time... But nope, not a shot, that will have to wait XD

I'd say I was feeling much more hyped, positive and willing to dedicate my time to getting stuff done because I wanted to and not because I had to if that makes sense.
Caffeine was the one thing that would always make me appreciate what I was doing, no wonder that I ended up abusing it.

where did you buy the pills? i used to buy green coffee pill to lose weight and burn more calories when i gained 10 kg due to an increase in my seroquel dose but it didn't make me feel anything different...just worked for weight.
