Anonymous asked: What is the difference between "Ich wohne in London" and "Ich lebe in London"??? Thanks! You're really great!

Thank you :)

Hmm… the difference? I wouldn’t say there’s much of a difference. “leben” [‘le:bɘn] translates to “(to) live” both in the sense of being alive and living somewhere. “wohnen” [‘vo:nɘn] is also “(to) live” but more in the sense of “(to) reside”. But in your example they’re interchangeable. Does that make sense?
