Invest in Language

  I had a lovely time this weekend. It was my 28th birthday, and I went back to Bedfordshire to spend it with my parents. Something happened that made me want to write to you all, and it involves a violin. Actually, 2 violins. Normally, I spend my birthday with my husband, but this year he was nowhere to be seen! This is because he was on his stag do. This is a British English term for 'bachelor party' - the final celebration that men have before they get married. The female equivalent is 'hen do.' You're right! Will went on a post-wedding stag do, as his initial trip to Krakow was postponed due to covid. The only time that his best man, who lives in Australia, could come back was my birthday weekend. Whilst I was disappointed, I completely understood. Will sweetly sent flowers and sent me lots of updates! So, I went on a different sort of date for my birthday! I went out with my mum and dad! We had a lovely time at a new local restaurant. When we got home (a couple...

  1. Work on linking consonant sounds to vowel sounds When you have a consonant sound at the end of one word, like ‘an’, and a vowel sound at the beginning of the next, like 'apple', you link them together smoothly. example: an-apple Here are some examples. Try reading them out loud and linking them together: one-afternoon those-elephants good-evening come-over this-umbrella 2. Practice linking consonants to the same consonant When we have a consonant sound at the end of one word, like some, which is followed by a word beginning with that same consonant sound, like more, we usually join these together to make a lengthened consonant sound. example: This-Sunday ​ Here are some examples. Try reading them out loud and joining the consonant sounds at the end of the first word and the beginning of the second word, transforming them into one, longer sound: staff-film these-zebras leave-very some-more Note - this does not work with the plosives. Instead, introduce a tiny pause between ...

Happy Easter

  Regardless of what you celebrate, I know lots of you are very interested in British culture and traditions, so today on Easter Sunday we'd like to share how we celebrate this event. Will and I were not brought up in religious households, but lots of Brits celebrate traditions like Christmas and Easter regardless of their religion. At Easter, we have 2 bank holidays - Good Friday, and Easter Monday. This means that most people get 4 days off work! Usually, we travel back to our hometowns and visit our families. Will and I have done just that - we've spent Good Friday and Easter Saturday with my parents, and we're travelling to see Will's family today. On Good Friday, we typically eat hot cross buns. A hot cross bun is a spiced sweet bun usually made with fruit, marked with a cross on the top. We have them toasted with melted butter! Delicious! If you come to the UK on Good Friday I recommend that you try them! They are lovely with a cup of tea. On Good Friday we also d...

  Collocations - these are word combinations that simply sound just right to native speakers. They are two or more words that are often found together and sound correct. e.g. budget cut, do homework, break a habit Idioms - these expressions, words, or phrases that cannot be translated literally into your own language.

You can't understand a phrasal verb by looking at the verb alone - you have to look at the phrasal verb as a whole! e.g look up, take off, go out As I explained, these are notoriously hard to learn because there is no magic solution!  You just have to learn them! The best way to learn them is to study a little bit every day, and I can help you with that! Find a pe...
