English Onomatopoeias
When we were younger, our parents and teachers used to tell us about the different sounds that various objects and animals produce. This is as simple as a game played with babies and toddlers that follows the sequence of “What sound does a blank make?” or “What does a blank say?”.
Translations of Movie (and TV) Titles from English
There’s a big difference between TV shows and movies; personally I’m much more of a TV guy. Movies are around 90min to 2hrs each, while TV shows are typically between 25 and 50min.
Common Business English Idioms and Phrases
We spend the week working 9 to 5 (though it feels like 24/7) burning the midnight oil and busting our butts for the man.
Overused words and what to say instead
A few weeks back, we shared a post about “formal vs. informal emails”, and we can think of this as a bit of an extension on that, as the terms we’ll cover can be used in written just as easily as they can in spoken English.
What’s the deal with Halloween?
From Witches to Draculas, to Princesses to Supermans, and even the odd Professional Athlete, the idea is pretty simple; dress up as something you like, take a bag of some kind (pillow cases worked well), and walk around to houses in the neighborhood and ask for candy.
Public Speaking in English – overcoming the fear
For some people, speaking in public is the most terrifying thing they’ll need to do. There’s a legitimate medical term for this fear – glossophobia – and it can lead to symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, trembling, dizziness, sweating, nausea or vomiting, and just the general urge to get away.
Slang of the Digital Natives
I was 16 years old. It final year of senior school in 1994 and our science teacher took us all to the library and showed us “the internet”. There was one computer, and it took more than 3 minutes to connect to a boring page with some text on it.
Tongue Twisters
Tongue twisters are silly poems that use very similar sounds. They’re especially popular with children, though it’s probably safe to say that there are a fair number of adults who enjoy them as well. They’re fun, they teach vocabulary, you can sound silly and nobody minds, and they illustrate the idea of alliteration.
