LouiseDFun and patient guide for your journey to fluency!
It depends somewhat on your personality and what type of learner you are, but I'd say that for everyone the key is consistency. It's better to study five minutes EVERY DAY than two hours one day a week. A little bit every day and you'll get there!
- Is there any difference between the words "important", "significant," and "essential"?
They are all synonyms, but is there any slight difference?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Yes, there are some differences in meaning between the words "important", "significant", and "essential." "Important generally means that something has great significance or value and that it should be considered seriously. It can refer to anything that is noble or has a significant impact, but it may not necessarily be essential. "Significant" implies that something has a meaningful or measurable impact, influence, or consequence. it is usually used to describe something that is more impactful than something that is just important. "Essential" suggests that something is absolutely necessary or critical. It implies that something is vital, fundamental, or necessary for the existence, functioning, or completion of something else. In summary "important" suggests something of value, significant suggests something of impact, and "essential" suggest something of a necessity.

Off the top of my head, I remember a palindrome is a word that's spelled the same way when it's seen backwards. Like the word "level".

Clue: it’s not a gay cell phone! LOL!
