Hi, how are you? I'd like to reserve a table for four for this Saturday. Is it possible? Oh, by the way, this is our first visit to the restaurant, is there a dress code at your place? And the parking, is it in front or behind the building?…
Thank you very much. Have a nice day. Bye.

>Название у сервиса "LingQ" я сначала прочел как Linq

И я тоже

Hi there. Steve here again. I want to do a video here in English to cover some of the ground that I'd covered in a recent video which I did in French. On a subject of why LingQ is a commercial site. And if you look in youtube you'll see that previous youtube video put up why?? this gentleman from France who said essentially "you know, I've been listening to Steve's videos where he talks, he has all these ideas about languages learning and encouraging people to learn languages. And then, when I went to LingQ I discovered they talk about points, and dollars, and… and all of sudden it struck me it was a commercial site and I was quite shocked". And so what I said was that I can understand that he found?? it to be very commercial because it is commercial. And so I explained in the video that, you know, at LingQ we have programmers whom we have to pay. We have employees, we have costs, we have servers, and, you know, significant costs.And we have been add?? this for five or six years and we think we're starting to get there. But we are not at a point we recover our costs.

У меня вопрос — долго пыталась понять разницу между to wait и to await. Честно говоря, в ответе написала awaiting только потому, что в толковом словаре в примерах употребления увидела фразу "prisoners awaiting trial", то есть по смыслу вроде как подходит.

Я так поняла, что await обязательно чего-то, какого-то события; wait можно и просто так, в простраство. Например, нельзя сказать I'm awaiting you, но можно сказать I'm awaiting your call. Я права или нет?
