Slang for "appearing out of nowhere"
Hi everyone, what would be the slang expression for someone appearing "out of nowhere/out of thin air"? I believe I'm looking for an antonym of "dipping (a party)". Could "to bolt in" be what I'm looking for? Thank you kindly
Uses of "I guess" for assumptions (?)
Hi everyone, I'm familiar with "I guess..." marking hypotheses, impressions, opinions, and such. How do you feel about someone using "I guess" to lead into a supposition/guess about something that has a clear correct true answer or real state? (e.g. "I guess Paris is the capital of France." "I guess I rolled a five with my die.") Does this feel normal, unusual or weird to you? Looking forward to your opinion!
Do they say “weight snacks.” “I don’t have to weigh yet”? Their voices sort of overlapped.

Found someone study English together
I’m China and currently live in Hungary, I don’t know how to study English exactly, I think maybe talk to ppl will be useful. But I’m an indoor person, i really hate social. So I wanna find someone to study together on the online if u don’t mind my English is really awful…
Small talk struggle
I recently joined a free English conversation class, and I noticed that I really struggled with thinking of what to reply when someone says something. For example, the speaker asked us who the funniest person we know is. I told her that it is my sister, and that she always makes jokes, even in inappropriate situations. The speaker told me that her sister does the same thing. I wasn't able to reply with anything except an awkward, forced giggle lol. That was the only response I could think of at that moment, as I didn’t want to come across as rude or dismissive. And this was not the last time this happened. Do you have any tips on what I should look out for when someone says something, so I can easily come up with a follow-up question? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help you can provide!

Can some explain what "rhetoric" means here?
*During the debate, the candidate's* ***rhetoric*** *focused on fear and uncertainty, aiming to sway the audience's emotions rather than providing concrete solutions.*
“I took 5 courses in fall term 2023.” Is this sentence correct? Is “the” needed before “fall term”?
Or “…in 2023 fall term”?
