The Beauty of Idioms - Unlocking English ...

“Have you ever been in a conversation where someone said, “It’s a piece of cake,” and you started looking around for the dessert? Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of English idioms. As someone who’s taught English across continents, from the bustling streets of Istanbul to the colorful hills of Medellín, I’ve seen the magic that happens when a student first cracks the code of an idiomatic expression. It’s like unlocking a secret level in the video game of language. Idioms aren’t just expressions; they’re passports into culture, connection, and real-world communication.”

Creating a Business Card

A business card is a common way for professionals to quickly exchange contact information while networking or after meeting for the first time. It is an important way of saying that you are willing to be reached out to by the person you are giving the card to and what is on the card is how you want to be contacted. Business cards are small, sleek, and can be stored in a card-holder for an easy exchange. In order to have a solid business card, you will need the card to be both simple and eye catching at the same time, that goes for the message and the design.

'The Terminal' Movie and the English Speaking ...

Viktor was forced into an environment where everything around him was in English or where English became the bridge language for the many cultures who passed through the airport. He had to start small, so he began watching the news feed playing in the airport. They were reporting on the ongoing civil war in his country. Using phonetics, he sounded out the words that he could read and interpreted the name of his country. Then he began interpreting phrases on the captions below the news report. The news is a perfect way for a non-native speaker to learn English, it shows proper language and diverse vocabulary for huge issues.

“A pun is a play on words that either uses words that have multiple meanings or replaces a word that has the same or similar sound to provide a funny, (or in this case) “punny” or catchy effect. Puns are versatile and can be used in informal conversations, jokes, social media, and even for marketing campaigns.”

“Sheesh.” You’re probably some old head looking for a clear translation of what these Tik-Tok-Teenagers are trying to say. I get it, sometimes it sounds like a lot of nonsensical froth coming out of a Gen-Zer; that’s because it is.”
