Hi everyone! have you received the letter of invitation yet?
I already received it.
One thing I don't understand is that between "I really don't want to..." and "I -don't really want to..." are the same or different?
And the last thing is my grammar right or wrong in this text?
Because I'm just in pre-intermediate level.
I hope you can answer my questions correctly!!!

hi sorithika
'' i really dont want to ..'' and '' i dont really want to..'' are not quite the same.
'' i really dont ..''is jst a little bit stronger then '' i don really ..''
for example:
- i really don want to do this project. << i am  100% sure that i  don want to do this project>>
- i don really want to do this project. << i am 80% sure that i don want to do this project>>

hope you could get the difference

You're right. The differece between these is the way you emphasize your meaning.
