Hi Milania! "Are you up?" is actually one of the silly expressions that you will come across in the English language. It could simply mean "Are you awake?", which, of cause, a sleeping person would not be able to answer. However, people might sometimes reply saying "No, I am sleeping!", indicating that even though they are not asleep as yet, they are trying to do so. On the other hand, if the expression is used in text or on social media, it usually means "Are you online?" or "Do you want to chat?". I hope this helps. Take care, and all the best on your language learning journey.

Hi Pikachuuu, "My friend and I" is grammatically correct when it is placed before the verb and is the subject of the sentence. Take this sentence for example: My aunt invited my friend and me to dinner. The first person singular pronoun "I" is used when it is the subject of a verb. The first person singular pronoun "me" is used when it is the object of a verb or preposition .In the example above, "my friend and me" is the object of the verb "invited" and "my aunt "is the subject. When using compound subject or object, sometimes is difficult to know which personal pronoun to use. Example of sentences with "me" in the object position: -The teacher wants my friend and me to give the new student a tour. -Sam asked Jeff and me a question. Example of sentences with" I" in the subject position: -My wife and I gave the cake to Mary -Jeff and I asked Sam a question. Hope this helps you.

Hello Solamio, I wouldn't use any of them unless you use an adjective or specify the place or name your are referring to before the word university. i.e.: an old university or a prestigious university - the University of Harvard. No article (definite or indefinite) is used before university or school but in the cases above mentioned. I went to university/school many years ago. You can use 'a' in cases like this: A university is a place where you will enjoy learning. The letter 'u' is not considered to be a vowel in phonetics. I hope you find this useful. Greetings

Actually, there are several ways to introduce yourself . It depends on what atmosphere you have. If you want to meet formally, it is better to say "Hello, my name is ...." or you can start with the question "May I introduce myself?. If it is informal situation you may say "Hi", "Hey", "Hello", "What's up", "I am ..." It will be good if you say 'Nice to meet you, NAME, too" in both variants. Also don't forget to use new friend's name and to smile=)

Hello Batrud, The verb 'to deal' is an irregular verb, just as you thought. The three forms of the verb are: Base form = to deal Past simple form = dealt Past participle form = dealt It can be used as a verb (in the forms shown above) or as a noun. VERB definitions: with object = to give one a share = 'deal me in' (include me), without object = (followed by with or in) = 'The teacher dealt with the student's behaviour' or 'The banker deals in shares' NOUN definition = a business transaction or an agreement = The agreed on the deal after several meetings. I hope that helps you. Best wishes Laura

Actually "kindergarten" is a German word. In English this is spelled like "kidsgarden". But there is no wide abbriviation for this meaning. So it is better to use full word or to tell your friends to use short name "KG"

Saying "Aye" is not slang. It is what's knows as VERNACULAR. DEFINITION: Vernacular = (Noun) = A language or dialect spoken by the normal people in a particular country or region. It's the old (and current) Scottish way of saying "Yes".

Both are actually correct, it is just the old and new version of spelling the word. Vender is the traditional way of spelling the word. With pronunciation it may depend on the origin of the speaker as different English speaking nations pronounces it differently. it is basically like to old adage of tOmato or tomAto, different people emphasize different parts of the word.
