3:45: Not quite. It is “to enjoy sth.”, so we need an object that we can enjoy, and an object is a noun. This can be a proper noun or a nominalization, and the gerund is one kind of nominalized verb. So, you could also say: “They enjoyed their leisure time in the park.”

[@hookahsupplier.5155]

My English is purely self-taught out of didactic stimulus. I've been speaking the language for three years. I tested my vocabulary size and it was unanimously estimated to be 7900-9000. I can understand all the dialouges in any movie or cartoon without tumbling much, and my accent is almost as pedantic as of a native American speaker, I don't know a lot of phrasal verbs and only have covert for vocabulary accretion. And this is my result: A1/A2 -----> 9/10 (In March) B1/B2 ------> 9/10 (In the other day) C1/C2 -------> 9/10 (Thick as thieves) I'm Egyptian by the way. So, with all the aforementioned results, how close am I to fluency? And do you think I should take classes because I still keep ruminating about it in a labyrinthine. Also great video Mister.

lost 2 points at the last 10 questions. But you know what, my English was tested as being unqualified to study as a PhD in China, while a lot people overseas asked me how come you get such a good English fluency without even being living in a English spoken country. Therefore, I got an acceptance to study abroad. How ironic it was/is. Sharing a bit more about my story: I was indeed a bad student in terms of taking exams, but that doesn't necessarily means I am a bad English speaker. In fact, I was so disgusted by the fact that, in china education system, they only want to educated students achieving pretty scores in exam and don't care about their practical level. Given the tests were so badly designed, I refused to follow the lessons taught in school and started to educated myself with my English. I am glad I made the wise choice, so I speak so good English even better than many who has study overseas for years. But I am still grateful to my English teachers at my early years.

[@DiegoDanner]

"Conversely" is not as commonly used in everyday conversations as some other words. It tends to be more formal and might be found in written or spoken language where a more precise or academic tone is desired. People often opt for simpler alternatives like "on the other hand" or "however" in casual conversation. So, while it's not rare, it might not pop up as frequently as some other words.

Imagin you get your driving license, an then you spend 5 years in a row without driving a car.

I have a same result, which is kinda suprising for me that i can guess few sentence from advanced level. I knew that i'm stuck on B1 level to this day since i finish high school. I thought it may be ok because English isn't my native language and i don't have many occasions to use English in my daily live. But sometimes it really annoyes me that when i speak with my friends who are very fluent in English and when i listen them for me it's sound like babbling or playing games that have only English language, have a lot of text with words and idioms which they weren't used often. Very often it's synonym to word that i know so i always think "why are you making it difficult". Of course when i need i can translate if it's some online article or i write something and can check words that i forgot or didn't know in English or it's cutscenes that i can pause, but some games like GTA have sequences where you are in the middle of fast paced action and you hear that characters have some discussion. I don't have that much attention so for me it's like being on standby. If it's game with not irrelevant story and easy to learn gameplay i can ignore it but when games requires my attention on two things simultaneously or have some specific words in for example some soulslike games like Mortal Shell or it's English video without subtitles and auto translate sucks sometimes it requires for me be in full focus, because even if i can understand 85-90 percent of words my ears and other senses must be very active and always ready to receive and translate very quickly. That's why i want to improve my English but i know it may be hard after finish obligatory education almost 10 years ago and if i want to be self-educated person who will not blindly spend a lot of money on courses of unknown quality and don't want to put on the shackles of strong regularity like it was in school days. So every time i think about improve my English i don't have idea how and I give up.
