It's an acronym for "in my experience."

How about starting with a lighter topic for a short time and after that we can move to heavier subjects?

I'm thinking of everyone's go-to subject when there's nothing to talk about: the weather. While it's not very exciting, it's not personal so nobody has to worry about exposing private information they're not comfortable sharing, and since this weather keeps changing, there's actually something to talk about. And no matter what, every day there is weather.

We don't have to dwell on it for too long before progressing to something that's likely going to involve more complicated words. Thoughts?

Good morning!
At school I was taught never to forget Capital letters!!!
I use Caps Lock and Alt+Shift to alternate between languages.
So clumsy!
I'm interested in spoken modern English (new acronims,phrases etc')
I Iove to read. Rachel and Riva Pomerantz for example - I check the meaning once in awhile.
Do you read ?.

.I recommend Rav Chanoch Teller's short (based on true) stories. They're interesting, elevating, and sometimes very funny. For example: "Give Peace a Stance", or "Above the Bottom Line". The challenge, though, is that every so often he uses words which even I, a native American, need to look up.
But you can understand the storyline just fine, without looking those words up.

Yea but sometimes it's just not good.
There are some books that I have originally read in English.
And there are many good books in English that are not translated, we just have to find them/
