#01 - English Diary
Today I took three classes at meuingles.com, in the first class I learned how to greet people, both in formal and informal ways and how to make questions with the word "how". I also learned how americans pronounce "How are you doing?" , for me it seems like they don't say the verb to be(are), it sounds like "Há ya doin?". At the end of the class I also learned that the word "fine" have a similar meaning to ticket, for exemple: "Who will pay the fine?", I'm not sure if the word "fine" has the exactly same meaning of "ticket", like, getting a parking lot ticket, I'll search that later hehe.
In the second class I learned, actually reviewed the verb to be in the present, I also learned diffent usages of the verb "to look" and some basic vocabulary about clothes. Right after the class I went to a clothing website called "thereadless.com" with some really cool , but , expensive(making the convesion to reais of course hehe) shirts and coats and I couldn't get it why on website they call t-shirts and shirts "tees" and coats they call "Hoodies" haha If anyone reads this please help me ? haha
And finally in the third class, I learned the personal pronouns and that the words "buy, by and bye" have the same pronounciation, oh I also learned some vocabulary about things we have in our bathroom.
And that's what I learned today : D.
I feel like while writing this I repeat a lot the verb "learn" to express that I learned something and it feels a lot repetitive, doesn't it?! Humm... Maybe something to improve haha :D

Hi Luan,
Fine isn't the exact same thing as a ticket but it's related. The fine is the money you have to pay as a result of getting a ticket. For example: I had to pay a $100 fine for parking in front of a fire hydrant.
As for the clothing website, "tees" is a common abbreviation for t-shirts, however it only refers to t-shirts, not all shirts. Hoodies are sweatshirts with hoods, with or without zippers. Hoodies and sweatshirts are not as thick or as warm as coats.
I hope that helps!
Kelly
