Reading an English Dictionary for Language Learning: Beneficial or a Waste of Time?
My native language is Turkish. Do you think it makes sense to read English - English - Turkish Oxford Wordpower Dictionary like a book? Can I develop my vocabulary properly this way? Will I benefit from this or will it just be a waste of time?
Ask vs. Axe
I just spent 7 weeks of training for work mostly in a classroom environment. I’ve noticed that African Americans in my training would say “Axe” instead of “Ask.” I hope this does not come across as ignorant or anything to that nature but I am genuinely curious as to why that is and maybe the origin of it.

My book says it is 'ate' but I think it is 'was eating'. Am I missing something here? Please help.
Pronunciation of t's
I realized I had been pronouncing "what's" as "whas", "it's" as "is" (t's as basically just s). I've been trying to fix that, but I haven't turned it into a habit yet. Besides, it's actually quite difficult when I'm speaking faster + the sentence is longer. Do native speakers always pronounce the entire t's? Or do you say it as just s sometimes? I'm aware I'm probably being too hard on myself trying to fix such a small problem that no one will ever care. Sorry for that.
“This isn’t a good movie.” “I think so.” Does “I think so” here mean I disagree and think it is a good movie? Thanks.
If I say “I think not” or “I don’t think so”, will it mean I agree it’s not a good movie”?
Is there any quick trick or tips to get the accent??
I know the grammar and I can speak English quite well. All I’m worried about is I can’t just sound like native speaker
What does née Stage mean?

Where to practice English speaking skills?
Hi everyone! I’m pretty good at reading and understanding English, but when it comes to speaking, I’m totally out of my comfort zone. I want to improve my fluency and pronunciation and I know that I need to practice more. Do you know any apps, tools, or resources that help with English speaking practice? Thanks in advance!
