Is it "What could have happen" or "What could have happened"?
foodietr replied to CeliVega's topic in English Grammar
What could happen is correct, adding a have sound weird and is incorrect. The latter is correct. -
I do not like glycol ether. This is a weird chemistry pun which makes ether sounds like either.

Is English the easiest language ever?
foodietr replied to Gelsemium's topic in English Language | Discussion
English is one of the most simplest languages ever. This is because it has borrowed words from Latin and almost other medieval languages. And most speakers tend to recognise english words and probably make it sound similar to their native language. -
What are your thoughts on google translate?
foodietr replied to Cutler4Life's topic in Translations (Theory & Practice)
Google Translate is just average I would say. It does not link the words with the adjectives or the translate term and most likely for any translation you need to look up the meaning for sure. This is because of the program which is developed to just translate sentences word by word. Changes will not be applicable and no conjunction is done. -
What sources do you use to learn a new language?
foodietr replied to Azurix's topic in Language Learning
A dictionary is a must. Other than that I use Google Translate a lot to gather new words and study their meanings in a lot. Beyond that Duolingo helps master new phrases and words in a very convenient and easy way. This makes learning more fun, that's what a lot of people who I know have used the app say. -
Self learning also is an option but I would suggest you take help from someone. At least you can take the help of DuoLingo which makes language learning a very easy and attractive process. That is how you master complex words, by phrasing it in sentences and by making attempts to renew and replenish words by practise.

Ways to practice, whilst learning a new language?
foodietr replied to angie51's topic in Language Learning
Learning new words is the key. Maybe practising a bunch of words everyday is bound to help. Watching movies in the regional languages also helps. -
What sparked your desire to learn another language?
foodietr replied to deathbyprayer's topic in Language Learning
One of the motivating factors in learning another language is the necessity. If you go to a foreign place and you don't know the language, that's where need creeps in. Survival is really hard without knowing the local dialect. And hence stemmed our need to learn new languages. -
