Many words in English sound the same. Can you tell which one it is when you speak？
For example, 'I’m going too' or 'I’m going to the store' – the words 'too' and 'to' sound the same. How do you know which one it is? Is it 'too', 'to', or 'two'? Similar to that are 'They’re', 'there', 'their'. I’m really confused because when I watch videos, I often can’t tell which word it is due to the fast pace of the conversation.
Is there is a rule or rules that can help me spell any new word I hear?
I am wondering if there is any rules to help me spell any word I hear correctly?
Please anwer
Which one is correct ? I appreciate every answer
[🇺🇸] As a man, how do you feel when another man calls you "hey man/man/my man"?
Do you like/dislike/hate it, or are you neutral about it and also call them "man"? I live in LA, and that's what I mostly say instead of "dude/bro". Just wondering how do others feel about it. Also, for some reason, I really hate being called "buddy". It always gives me the impression that they surely forgot my name.
I just love how English keeps evolving in the funniest way 😂

Dear natives, which show sounds decent to improve speaking? (For non-native speakers)
1) Simpsons 2) Adventure time 3) Family guy 4) Other recommendation from you 5) Friends It would be so much helpful for me if you answer Ps. Does people use ‘i’m on the level’ as ‘i’m being honest’ irl? I learned this phrase from Simpson and dared to use once to my american friend. And he asked me ‘what does that mean?‘. It made me feel embarrassed
I accidentally said "her" instead of "his", Does it matter a lot
like "he likes to play with her(I wanted to say "his") ball"
How to say "I can't sleep because I am thinking about something all night long" in natural English?
Are there anything natural ways to describe it? My poor English doesn't allow me to sound like a human, which means that's beyond robotic and artificial. Native speakers please help me. Both casual and literal style are accepted. For example, this is something I could say: I can't sleep, rolling on my mattress til midnight because I have an important exam the next day. I know it's an akwardly embarrassing sentence but I don't know how to say it naturally.
Does pronouncing “medieval” as /mədˈiːvəl/, with the first "e" as a schwa, sound natural to native speakers?
I heard someone from the US pronounce it that way, although I'm not sure if he's a native speaker.
Can you use "cold" to describe a place?
A friend of mine just came back from a business trip to Maine. She told us about how cold it was in Maine during winter. This is what she said: Of all the places I've been to, none of them were anywhere as cold as Maine. Does this sentence sound natural?
