Do native speakers still say "the" and "a" word
I just think that these words are unnecessary when I watch videos, anime, or movies especially in infromal conversation
About the word 'homeboy' !
I looked up the word homeboy, and they say it means an acquaintance from your hometown...! It makes sense but I have few questions! 1. Does it only refer to males? Can there be homegirls!? 2. As a girl myself, can I say stuff like "I'm in love with a guy, he's my homeboy"? Or like, "my mother married her homeboy" 3. Does it HAVE to refer to people from your hometown, because I think I've heard people say it when they have different hometowns... also in an internet video, someone says 'homeboy's got a Garmin~' referring himself as the homeboy, but they're not really from the same town..?
Am I possible to be like a native English speaker?
As title said. Am I possible to be like a native speaker? Will the age matter? I am 17 right now, came to the US last year as a college student. I have been learning English since 11, but 15 is the \*actual\* first age of learning English, I feel. I was like A1 or A2 till 14 years old. I didn't even know the word, "equipment" and "maintain." But I bumped up to B2 when I was 15 years old by studying English for a year intensively (writing is still pretty bad tho, other skills are improved certainly. Especially, listening. It skyrocketed to C1 level from A2.) But now, I am struggling with English. I can't memorize new vocab anymore. My speaking and listening were improved in the US, but words......! My English ability will stop in front of C1 level. I hadn't learnt English from a baby or other young age. I was a teen when I start everything. Many people told me it is the common phenomenon in learning. But I couldn't believe it. I stopped learning new words for a while. (I resumed recently tho.) Does anyone has a similar experience and became like a native speaker? (I won't care about accent, but about grammar, vocab, and something like that.) I might need to have some kind of mindset for learning. I am impatient...kinda bad personality for language learning, haha....
Don't you think they should be a name in English for when you are older than your Auntie and uncle?
Since your auntie and uncle usually can have authority over you but it doesn't apply when they're around the same age as you or younger than you.
Please explain me the joke. What does “de-brie” means?

ChatGPT doesn’t know present simple?
I’m confused. Was he right in the first place or did he really make a mistake. I thought AI never makes grammar mistakes.
I can’t really understand the meaning of this sentence, even when I translated it to my native language. Could someone explain this sentence in another way
“The story has been found something to do with cycling”?? I didn’t catch the real meaning in online dictionary…….
what is this
Hi, I'm having a moment where I don't know how to translate "andamio" from Spanish. Translators are telling me "platform" is ok and I think I've heard it referred to as such, but I'm pretty sure this could be another word as well I'm referring to this thing
Can you actually learn a language using a language learning app like Duolingo?
I see a lot of language learning apps, and I am not sure if they are actually useful or not. Can they be used as the main tool to learn?
What do the words in yellow mean? I thought ‘batter’ was like a pummel or strike. Should it be butter? Might sound silly but that’s what I thought
