two holidays

(On the phone)
1- What is the weather like up there in Durham?
2- Awful! It's cold, cloudy and rainy.
3- It is always rainy here in March.
4- How is it over there in Cornwall?
5- Awesome. It is warm and sunny.
6- We are really lucky.

Notes:

Terrible: “awful”, “ugly”
Example:
The weather's terrible --> The weather is terrible.
It has no positive connotation like in French. There are a number of English words that are "treacherous", meaning they sound like "homegrown" words but have a different meaning. We'll get to that later.

Here's how to form an adjective from a noun:
a cloud --> a cloud.
cloudy --> cloudy.

The rain --> the rain.
Rainy --> rainy.

Always: always (all the time, constantly)
It's always hot in Cornwall. --> It's always hot in Cornwall.

Here: here indicates the location of the speaker: The weather here is great. Whereas there denotes a distant place (over there) What's the weather like there?.

Hi! I am Koné and I am Ivorian. I am an English teacher and I speak French fluently. I think the sinequanone condition for speaking a language is to practice it while interacting with other people. So, to speak English, you have to get started.

50 Ways to Improve Your English Vocabulary 1. Read, read, read—and listen! Reading literary works, newspapers and novels will expose you to words you would not encounter in everyday conversations. In a similar way, listening to news, and even audio books can greatly improve your vocabulary. 2. Track your vocabulary learning progress with your phone, or book Keeping track of the vocabulary you have learned is an excellent way of ensuring that you are making progress. This will also keep you motivated to keep learning new words. 3. Have a word of the day There are calendars, apps, and even websites that will give you a new vocabulary word every day to keep your vocabulary list growing over time. 4. Have a vocabulary list on the wall (at home or office) Keeping a list of vocabulary around you wherever you are will ensure that you remember new words. 5. Play games! Word games can be fun, and at the same time quite educational. So, play puzzles, word jumbles, Scrabble, and anagrams to learn new words in a fun way. 6. Have a dictionary and thesaurus around you When you can find out the meaning of new words with ease with a dictionary or thesaurus, you can learn to use the new words you hear or see. 7. Practice! Once you have heard or read a new vocabulary word, do not stop at knowing what it means; try using it in a sentence, preferably in a conversation. 8. Start a blog Starting a blog has never been easier, and having a reason to write something every day by having a blog will inevitably result in growth in your vocabulary over time. 9. Translate words into your own language When you try to translate vocabulary words into your own language, they are committed to your mind much faster. You will learn to use them better as well. 10. Learn about English (and American) culture Taking an interest in the cultures of English-speaking countries, rather than the language alone, can greatly enhance your interest in the language and help you master English vocabulary faster. 11. Try vocabulary quizzes When you test yourself, you will know whether you are making any progress or not. That is why vocabulary quizzes can be so helpful when learning English vocabulary. 12. Use English news broadcasts and other resources to hear new words in context When you listen to people who are good in English using the language, you will master how the vocabulary is used much faster. 13. Correspond with an English pen friend Having an English friend you exchange correspondence with can greatly improve your English skills and vocabulary based on the language he/she uses. 14. Write down new words Whenever you hear or read new vocabulary, write it down. This makes it easier to remember in the future. This is also a great way to improve your English vocabulary. 15. Use pictures Pictures can greatly enhance how fast you learn and memorize new words. So, try to learn vocabulary words and images associated with them. 16. Learn with other people There are other people who are interested in learning new English vocabulary like you. You can join them and learn these words faster, and expose yourself to vocabulary you would not have found on your own. 17. Don’t be scared Big words can be scary, but you should be excited to learn them and make an effort to use them if you are to broaden your English proficiency. 18. Associate a new word you learn with people and events This technique will ensure that you remember the word and how to use it better in related contexts. 19. Use the new words in other sentences When you learn a bunch of new words, try making sentences with them so that they stick. This will also improve your confidence when you are using them in the future. 20. Learn the roots of words Many English words have Latin, Greek, or Germanic origins, and learning how they were created can greatly enhance how well you understand and use them in the future. 21. Study word formation charts Using a word formation chart is a great way to keep the motivation...

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Claudia Veronica
Conversation in English through Positive Psychology
What are the sessions about? The sessions are to work on conversation in English through topics and content of psychology, well-being and self-help. The presentation is designed so that the person shares their comments on several occasions and elaborates responses using common vocabulary, improving conversation, fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The content is about positive psychology topics, where tools for life are acquired, through information and reflection exercises. Breathing techniques, mindfulness, gratitude, habits, resilience, flow state, resistance to change and more are mentioned and used. You can go to our Instagram @speakfeelgrow and click on the “Sessions” featured story to see some topics that we have used in the past. They will be updated periodically. Why use positive psychology content? According to several studies, including a study conducted by Cambridge in 2022, the best method to learn a language is through immersion (exposure and engagement). This means that when we learn topics or activities that interest us, the brain activates the prefrontal cortex, the striatum, the limbic system, and the hippocampus, which are the areas of long-term memory, motivation, concentration, reward, and emotional experience. These functions together create greater receptivity to new information. It is about talking about topics that motivate and interest us to enhance learning. They are also life tools that benefit us all. The more a person opens up to talking and reflecting on their personal experiences, whether positive or negative, the more they will be able to handle life's difficulties and improve their well-being. What level should I be at? Once you understand the written and/or spoken language, and can say the basics, we can start working. It doesn't matter if your level is basic, since that's exactly what the sessions are for. When you try to create a statement with interesting content, the areas of the brain that promote learning are activated. Here, through the chat, pronunciation and grammar are corrected, new vocabulary is added, and the correct way to say what is desired is taught. The person is asked to repeat the statement "correctly" and that's how learning takes place. How long will it take to see changes? The time varies for each person, as it depends on their initial level, and if the method is compatible with their way of learning. It is recommended to evaluate if this method is suitable for you, after the first session. However, due to previous experience with people at a basic - intermediate level, changes in fluency are seen from the first two or three sessions. From the first or second session you will notice more comfort when speaking and listening to the language. What mental health benefits can I get from sessions other than language? The sessions are taught by a clinical psychologist trained in positive psychology and other therapy methods. Some of them can be used in the sessions. The topics covered encourage conversations about personal life, and only if it is of interest to the person, can they delve into it and use this space to work on certain topics through psychological guidance. Additionally, information supported by scientific evidence will be provided, on tools for greater emotional well-being based on positive psychology, and reflection on mental and personal habits will be encouraged. Important: This is NOT, nor does it seek to replace, psychological therapy. Issues that require further exploration and/or external help will be referred to a therapy or a professional as appropriate. By what means can I take the session and how many frequencies do I need? Most sessions are via Zoom. The teacher will send you the link via WhatsApp or email and at the time of your session you can access it via a device. It is recommended once a week if the session is individual. You will notice that they are very complete and you may be a little tired after the session, if you are not very familiar with the language. If the session is in a group of two or more people, it can be once or twice a week. We will talk about many interpersonal topics in the session and we may follow up during the week by sharing relevant content via WhatsApp and voice notes, also in English for both parties to continue practicing fluency and vocabulary. It can be in person in Monterrey, Nuevo León in groups of 3 or more, or within the Republic for workshops.

Amelie
Bonjour étudiante en Master MEEF deuxième année pour devenir professeure des écoles, je propose mes services pour de l'aide aux devoirs
Je propose de données des cours pour des élèves ayant quelques difficultés en maths, anglais ou histoire. Ma méthode sera basé sur la compréhension de l'élève (ses points forts et faibles) dans la matière choisie. Aussi, nous partirons du cours de l'élève (vu en classe), afin de coller au mieux aux méthodes enseignées. Une ré explication de la notion ainsi que des exercices seront effectués
