Hi,
I've just found out this forum, and it definitely looks promising to me!
I'm french, and I've been an English enthusiast for several years, mainly learning from books. I often missed a native speaker to answer usage questions, when to use one word or the other with similar meaning etc.
You can expect a great deal of post from me
Here are my first questions:
- what's the difference between "my speech went down rather well" and "my speech came across rather well" ?
- ... between "conceited" and "supercilious" ?
- ... between "hamper" and "hinder" ?
- ... between "sneer" and "spurn" ?
- ... between pull up/down/in/over (for a vehicle) ?
Thanks in advance!
