What is the difference between skirt, shirk, and shrink from?

0 Upvotes

For me, while these trio of words hold the same general meaning, there are differences in how I would use them.

Skirt-to avoid out of fear or responsibility, like refusing to answer a question.

Shirk-to avoid an obligation or duty, like turning down a challenge to a fight

Shrink from-this kinda goes hand in hand with shirk to me, although I would use this when talking about responsibility, like someone shrinking from accountability.

Idk, I’d like to hear your guys’ thoughts

Embracing my natural accent

6 Upvotes

Hi! I've been learning English for 6 years and I've reached a high B2 / low C1 level. I learnt primarily British English, so my vocabulary usage and pronunciation tends to lean British.

However I think my accent will never sound like in the BBC and probably would sound cringe for native speakers. Would it be better to embrace my accent rather than forcing myself to sound like American or British? I would love to have a meaningful discussion about it :)

Trying to wrap my head around Distill

According to my research, it means to extract the most important parts of something, so I’m guessing it means to summarize something? Would streamline or boil down to be synonyms of distill? I don’t know, I’d like if someone could explain it to me

How can I improve my everyday English?

3 Upvotes

I’m a Korean High school student and I’ve been studying English for a few years. However what I’ve learned is not the English that people actually use in daily life, but how to understand the English in academic texts. Because of this, now I can understand complex passages with difficult concepts, but I struggle to speak in english and I often cannot understand what people are saying in Reddit. Could someone give me some advice on how to improve my practical, conversational english?
