- There are many teachers on this site but only a few indicate that they have done any lessons. Why?
How can I be certain that I will have lessons to teach?

It could be that some tutors are new and they've never been booked before. Like myself. I hope Imthis answers you.

- What is "It ain't easy being cheesy"?
Here is a strange phrase or an idiom "It ain't easy being cheesy." I don't understand its meaning. Could you help me? In which context can I use it?
Best answer
Hi Kikimora! This is an idiom in American English. “Cheesy” often means uncool or silly when not used to talk about food. Yes, this phrase was used in a Cheetos commercial, but it can also be used as a joke. It literally means “It’s hard to be silly.”

Best answer
Honestly, it takes a long time to learn English. The more time you put into it, the faster you obtain the knowledge. I would say it takes years to be close to native. So, what are you goals? If you want to learn English, but don’t necessarily care about being native in speech - this takes less time. However, how fast you progress is up to you. I’d be wary of those who say you can learn within a year, unless you are already at level B2. Brand new to English, over a year at minimum. Hope this helps!
Best answer
Haste means to do something quickly, often too quickly. In this case if you move to quickly you are going to mess up the task at hand. Basically, slow down and make sure you do things correctly as not to 'waste' your time spent on your task.
- What is "I'll always have your back"?
Hello! What does it mean — I'll always have your back?
Best answer
It can be that someone will be there for you through troubled times and and also to defend you. Foe example, “I know you are having a hard time over your breakup with John, so please know I have your back.” Another example, “You need to go to school and face your teacher and know whatever happens I have your back.”
- what is 'hit the wrong button?

Best answer
Hi Ewan, To hit the wrong button literally means that someone has pressed the wrong button on their keyboard. In a social environment, pressing the wrong button means that you brought up or pointed out something that is a sensitive subject to another person. Hope this helps. Regards, Herman
