Hi, guys. Can I check these sentences with you? Do they sound natural enough to say?

1. This game is known as the sport of association football or soccer.
2. Does walking help you live longer?
3. This song is a pure masterpiece.
4. In my opinion, that's the best song ever made!

youtube.com/shorts/wwoSII4_mH0 Do you have a permission slip? (What exactly does she mean by that?)

Michael Rybkin

Jul 23 20:57

@GratefulDisciple Gotcha, bro.

Michael Rybkin

Jul 23 18:48

@GratefulDisciple Yep, that's exactly what it means. I was lazy to properly read the word "dominoes" which was in the brackets. My bad. Thank you for your help.

"game" obviously mean "wild animals" or "area where wild animals can be caught". But what is "blocked" supposed to mean?

Michael Rybkin

Jul 23 16:21

What does "blocked game" mean? Does it make sense?

Hi, guys. Can I check these sentences with you? Do they sound natural enough to say?

Would it be alright if I called a folder where I keep things related to language learning "langs"? Does it sound fine as a shorthand way to say "languages"? This is just for the sake of keeping things simple on my desktop.

youtube.com/shorts/Iu_ghgjE_HU#t=45s So, if you're out in the wild and see a bamboo shoot bending down... (what do they mean by "shoot" here?)

Gotta go. It was nice walking to you guys. See ya.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 30 01:45

@Arfrever Ok.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 30 01:43

@Cerberus Yep, a comma was added just as I was told.

Michael Rybkin

@Arfrever I'm Slavic.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 30 01:39

@Cerberus It depends. Some of them are taken from the wild so to speak. Some of them are made purely by me.

@Cerberus Thank you very much. That helps me learn English better. What I do is simply collect English phrases and sentences. I put them all in my notebook, which is where I keep them for future reference.

@jlliagre I totally gotcha, my friend.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 21 04:58

What do you mean you're not sure and this is just a suggestion? Do you want to say that the following sounds equally as good:

This neighbourhood has a low crime rate and is considered one of the safest areas all over Los Angeles.

@Robusto Thank you.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 20 21:45

These two versions I suppose now should sound perfect. What do you say?

Michael Rybkin

Jun 20 21:44

This neighbourhood has a low crime rate and is considered one of the safest areas over all of Los Angeles.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 20 21:40

Does it now sound better like this (what do you think?):

This neighbourhood has a low crime rate and is considered one of the safest in the entire Los Angeles area.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 20 21:38

@DanGetz Thank you very much.

Michael Rybkin

Especially, how it is used by natives in real-life situations.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 12 21:39

Exactly, it's not about the opinion, it's about language usage first and foremost.

Michael Rybkin

Jun 12 21:37

I'll go with Robusto's version. I like it.
