Burn bridges.
Hey Jack, I heard you quit your job at the marketing firm.

Sarah, Lily and Mark are welcoming Alex at the airport.
Oh, I'm so excited to see Alex again after all these years.
Yeah, it's been ages since high school.
I hope his journey was smooth.
Look, there he is.
Alex, over here.
Hi, Sarah, Lily, Mark.
Long time no see.
Welcome to the US, Alex.
We're thrilled to have you here.
Thank you so much.
I'm happy to be here.
But, uh, sorry for my English.
I'm still learning.
No worries, Alex.
We're here to help you improve.
Let's head out and talk more on the way.
Alex, how was your journey?
It was good, but I lost the bus at some point.
It was stressful.
Oh, no, Alex.
You didn't lose the bus.
You missed it.
It happens to everyone.
Yeah, missing the bus means you didn't catch it on time.
Losing the bus sounds like it vanished or something.
Oh, I see.
I missed the bus.
Got it.
Alex, do you want to learn how to order food in English?
Sure.
Can you learn me?
Oh, Alex, you're close.
But we usually say, can you teach me?
Teaching is when someone shows you how to do something.
So it's like, can you teach me how to order food in English?
Ah, got it.
Can you teach me then?
Alex, look at all the people here.
Yeah, people is everywhere.
Good try, Alex, but we say people are everywhere.
People is for singular, like one person.
But here it's many, so it's people are.
Exactly.
People are all around us.
Thanks for correcting me.
People are all around us.
Remember that party in high school?
Everyone was there.
Yeah, everyone were having a great time.
Almost there, Alex.
It's everyone was having a great time.
Everyone is like a group.
So it's was instead of were.
So it's everyone was having a great time at the party.
Ah, got it.
Everyone was having a great time at the party.
See, Alex?
You're doing great.
Learning English is an adventure, and we're here to help you every step of the way.
Alex, how did you find the city so far?
Oh, it's great.
Today morning, I went for a walk.
Nice try, Alex.
We usually say this morning instead of today morning.
It's a small change, but it makes a big difference.
Exactly.
So it's this morning I went for a walk.
Got it.
This morning, I went for a walk.
Alex, do you want to join us for a movie later?
Oh, that sounds good.
I have a free time, too.
Almost there, Alex.
We usually say, I have free time, without a before free time.
It's like saying you have time that is free.
Since the word time is uncountable, it's I have free time without a in between.
I see.
I have free time, too.
Alex, check out these books.
They explain the difference between similar words.
Oh, interesting.
What's the difference between affect and effect?
Good question, Alex.
But we say, what's the difference, instead of what's the different.
When we compare things, it's difference.
So it's, what's the difference between affect and effect?
Ah, got it.
What's the difference between affect and effect?
