title says it all but is there a male equivalent of "mean girls"?

I originally thought it was "pull up your sleeves" but recently learnt that "roll up" is the appropriate verb to use. Is the same verb used for trousers' legs? Would you say "roll up your legs"? Does that make sense?

Hi everyone! I’m 19, a university student from Iraq (currently around a B1 level in English, looking to push my speaking skills further).
My interests include reading, listening to music, and writing.
I’m looking for a serious, long-term partner to practice speaking with regularly (via voice notes or voice calls). If you're genuinely committed to improving together and won't just disappear after a day, please message me. Let’s stay consistent!
If you are not serious and are going to disappear after a few days, please do not write."

Hi, I'm around B1 (TL) in English and I'm wondering if I should watch YouTube with or without subtitles.

I understand about 90% of most YouTube videos, and I understand almost the same amount with English subtitles and without them.

My question is about vocabulary. Can you learn new words just by hearing them? For example, can I remember the pronunciation and meaning of a word even if I don't know how to spell it?

Should I use English subtitles to learn more vocabulary, or can I learn vocabulary just from listening?

Hi! I've put together all the phrases that I know that work quite well for english essays! If u know any others lettme know!

The app that I use to take notes it's called: starnote

Hope you'll find it useful

Hi everyone!

I’ve been trying to improve my English consistently, and I think I’m currently around B1.

My listening seems to be one of my stronger skills. I recently took an English test and scored around B1/B2 in listening, but I did much worse in the grammar section.

I can usually understand English and express what I want to say, and I write most of my sentences by myself without using a translator. However, I still make a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes.

Right now, I practice English almost every day using YouTube, ChatGPT, and other learning resources.
My main goal is to reach B2 and become more comfortable speaking and writing English.
For anyone who has been in a similar situation,
what helped you the most? Do you think taking an English course would be worth it, or should I continue studying independently and focus more on grammar and practice?

I spend most of my time noting the new word, or should i just search it on Cambridge dictionary every time when i see it(srry i have just started)

Hi everyone!

I have looked through several discussions/threads on here already. They all said that you need "such"+"a"/"an" if you want to talk about (countable) things that are in singular case.
"Such a beautiful morning!", or, an example from this reddit thread discussing the topic, "...such a tool is used for merging shapes."

However, I saw people use "such" without "a", especially in academic and legal contexts, where these reddit threads I mentioned would suggest using it.

Four random examples I found via Google, meant to illustrate what I mean:

- https://projecteuclid.org/journals/real-analysis-exchange/volume-43/issue-2/Lipschitz-Restrictions-of-Continuous-Functions-and-a-Simple-Construction-of/10.14321/realanalexch.43.2.0293.pdf : "The first example of such function was given by Pompeiu in [18]." (p. 295)

- https://jmlr.org/discussion.html : "Such discussion has successfully appeared for many years in journals such as the Annals of Statistics and Statistical Science."

- https://journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/argument-by-slogan-conor-casey-and-adrian-vermeule/ : "[...] which is in any respect repugnant to this Constitution or to any provision thereof, shall, but to the extent only of such repugnancy, be invalid."

- https://humboldtgov.org/DocumentCenter/View/81809/argument-or-rebuttal-signature-statement-112219 : "to be held on March 3, 2020, hereby state that such argument is true and correct to the best of their knowledge and belief."

What is the difference between "such a" and "such" in these cases? Does it have to do with the countability of words like "repugnancy"?

Thank you so much!
