Practicing pronunciation

When learning new words in English we might not be able to decode the pronunciation, especially if the word we are learning is a "sight word". Many online dictionaries provide an audio file for you to check the sound, but how do you know if you are doing it right.


First listen to the sound. Then, practice by copying the example sound.


When you think you have it record both the example and your voice. This is easy to do if you have a phone with a voice recorder or any other recording device. Simply press record, play the example sound and then do your best impression.


Play back the recording to confirm that you have it. You might be surprised how different it sounds.


Good luck!!

Using "please"

The word "please" is easy to misuse, especially if we put it in the wrong place or add too much stress.

For example, "Could I have a glass of water, please?"

As compared to,

"Please, could I have a glass of water?

In the first example the main part of the request (can I have a glass of water) can be expressed with normal intonation and if the "please" is stressed it is at the end, it doesn't change the intonation of the whole sentence.

However, if "please" is placed at the beginning of the sentence and stressed it can indicate frustration, importance or anger as it tends to influence the tone of the request.

Keep it in mind next time you ask for something, please. Please, be careful!

In order to increase vocabulary and gain new expressions it is useful to study collocations. A collocation is a group of words which combine to have a special meaning.

For example, if we consider the verb "do", we can combine it with many other nouns to explain activities. For example, do the dishes, do my make-up, do the dinner, and so on.

When you learn a new word try to find as many collocations as you can.

Good luck with your study!

Crazy about something?

We normally think of crazy as a negative word, but when we are passionate about something we can use it as a phrase such as "crazy about".

For example:

I am crazy about baseball.

In simple English... I love baseball!

Or maybe yesterday someone sent you roses with a message "I'm crazy about you!!"

In simple English... I love you!

What are you crazy about?

Using the preposition "on"

Using the preposition "on" is useful when talking about when something happened or is going to happen.

For example:

What did you do on Saturday?

Can we meet on the 26th?

Can you think of other ways to use "on" ? Leave your ideas in the comments.

Improving hearing comprehension is a challenge for many English students. An effective way to improve listening skills is to read out aloud every time.

You will find that words become more familiar. This is because you have heard them in your own voice before and can link the image of the word's spelling to the sound.

Try it out!!
