I don't mean, what's the correct pronunciation (but include that too, if you know it), I'm just curious about YOU pronounce it. And I am referring to the condiment, not the county in England, if there's a difference in pronunciation.

When I say it, it comes out sounding something like this: Wrrchrstrrshurr. Obviously, that's not correct, but that's how I say it nonetheless. Luckily, I'm a vegetarian, so I rarely find myself with the need to say it aloud.

i just read an article on CNN about hospitals needing more translators in hospitals,especially Spanish speakers, bcuz many patients come in and don't know English so their kids or nurses have 2 translate but sometimes there isn't help. it's just sad 2 think people can't go 2 the hospital bcuz they don't know English and have 2 rely on someone 2 translate 4 them. do u think people who r going 2 work in the medical field should learn a foreign language b4 they become nurses/doctors? or should the patients learn English first? what do u think?

You do the math.
The only expression from the USA that causes me any problem
It's maths, you guys.
Anyone in the States have a problem with an English expression. We can agree to differ- I just wondered?

I'm helping a chinese girl with english, and after about 3 weeks of meeting on sundays.. she told me that if i want, she can introduce me to some of her japanese classmates. The reason she popped up this question is because i told her i study japanese and have studied it for some time but can't have any contact with japanese people since i don't know any or don't know where to meet them. So should i say yes? When she asked me i got shy and said "iii dont know.. if you want". I'm male 26. thanks

I am going to see my Portugeese relatives in a couple of weeks and would like to show a little respect and be able to communicate on a basic level.

I am a quarter Portugeese but have never been to Portugal.

Or if any Portugeese speaking people can spare any time that would be good too.
