Gamers only please
Hello everyone! I'm an English teacher. I want to create a YouTube channel for teaching English and use various games to teach the language. Additionally, I plan to stream games and during the stream, break down the grammar of each part of the conversation and explain it accurately. I was thinking about doing it for a while but I felt a bit lost, I don't even know if this is a good idea so I decided to ask language learners. I wanted to ask: 1. If you were my audience, what game would you prefer for this purpose 2. What are your suggestions? 3. As a language learner, would you like to subscribe to such a channel?
Question - how do I begin to understand the language of Shakespeare (and English poetry at large?)
For almost 15 years, I almost exclusive use English in all my walks of life, yet I simply have never read Shakespeare (and other poets) because their language is simply incomprehensible to me, and I don't understand where I can even learn it (dictionaries don't help). Examples: 1) *your honesty should admit no discourse to your beauty* (what is "to admit discourse to sth"?) 2) *Could beauty have better commerce than with honesty?* (what is "o have better commerce than with sth"?). And so on. Literally every line is such that I simply cannot read. Is there a translation into simple English? Or is nobody interested anyway if he can't read that text already?
Is the sentence "where them girls at" grammarly correct?
I was listening to the song "where them girls at" and was wondering if it's the correct sentence
Why is this question considered ‘awful English’?
What is the proper way to ask that same question?

How hard are these words for regular native speakers? I only recognize a few lol. Btw, is it normal that when I do these questions, I might not necessarily know what a word means, but I just know it's the correct answer and what it makes the sentence mean?
Shouldn't it be "stands"?

How to say "2100"?
Which variant is more right: in twenty-one hundred, or in two thousand and one hundred?
Do those sentences depend of the context?
I understand that the second sentence implies that the father die and thats why the action doesn't continue (by the meme of course). But native speakers automatically think like that or you would say that u need more context and so you think that the father did something and that's it? I'm trying to understand if the meaning by sentences like that (without the image of course) could be misinterpreted

laughing in English is strange to me
so, in my country (Brazil) we laugh using "kkkkkkkk" or "kakakakakak" etc, and the classic "hahahaha" that is used in english, in my mind sounds like a villain laugh, and this is so strange to me, just want to share this difference
