Brain Training I listened to the new 6 minute English podcast which was interesting again. It was about that scientists believe that learning a second languages can boots brainpower. It's important in a way that bilingualism may protect your brain from damage if you have a stroke.There is a theory behind why bilingualism might be a protective factor is that it involves lots of swicthing. Bilingual speaker switches from one language to another. This exercise makes the brain stronger and fitter. And because the brain is stronger it could resist demage caused by stroke. They talked about that many of us aren't bilingual, so how we could protect our brain against stroke? Of course, they put our mind at rest. In that case, we can stimulate our brain with another technics. Like memorizing a list of words, for example your shopping list, if you are right handed, you brush your teeth with your left hand or you get dressed in the dark. I hope you find it interesting. :)

How would you put this sentence to conditional form? - What is going on?

Crosswords Yesterday in my English class we played crossword and it was really fun. My English teacher said to me that crossword was a good way to learn new words. However, I don't like to do crossword in my native language, because it's really lame. But I really enjoyed it in English. So, could you recommend me good crossword that I can download from the internet? Thank you! :) 

The Last Man on Earth I'm so glad to found this series called The Last Man on Earth. I think my English teacher mentioned it a few weeks ago, but I don't care much about it. Maybe I watched the trailer, but I don't remember exactly. This weekend we wanted to go to the bath, but the weather wasn't so good, so we decided to watch this series instead of. When we watched the pilot I had a strange feeling about it. Because it was kind of depressing in a way to think about that what would happen if I was alone in this planet. I thought the whole series is about this man, but it wouldn't be so exciting, and I noticed that. Of course, other survivors appeared and the story began. And we binge watched the first season of it at the weekend. I don't remember when was the last time when I binge watched a series. But this one, I couldn't take my eyes off it. I saw on imdb that the second season is on the air, so I can't wait the flollowing weekend. :)

New Ways To Pay I like listening to 6 minute English from BBC. It's not the most exciting podcast, but it's short - 6 minute, obviously, after its name. I try to find the topics which I'm interested in. So, I listened one about the paying methods. They discussed about the tap-and-go cards. I think these cards are a godsend. If you buy things under the certain amount, you wouldn't have to enter your PIN number, you just bring your card close to the reader and it makes the payment. It's so quick. Every country has a limitation to a certain amount. In Hungary it's 5000 Ft. However, when I use my tap-and-go card I always wait for the receipt. Sometimes the shop assistant take my card and she/he does the contactless payment. In that case, it's important to wait for the receipt, because she/he might enter the wrong amount and you loose you money. After this, they talked about a chip. You can put the chip in your coat and when you want to buy a small-valued good it's enough to wave your arms in front of the terminal. This is for people who are lazy and who don't want to take their cards out of their wallet. The third one, which is my personal favourite, is the fingo-pay system. Some day we won't have to carry on our wallet, because the veins in our finger will do the payments. We have to register our finger and that's it. It's really cool, especially when you are going to the beach. Do you like some of them? Which one is your favourite?

Plane Crash In My Dream I have a returning dream with plane crash. I don't dream it every night. I think i dreamed it about three times. It's always happen in my hometown and my mom and I see that the plane crash in half. By the way, it's always a Wizz Air plane, and it's always crash in half in the same part. The dream is really frustrated and after I get up I find difficult to get back to sleep. Have you got similar dreams? I tried to find an explanation for it in an online "dream book". But it was useless and I don't like this kind of explanation. :D I guess the dream is because of I'm afraid of flying and these days we can hear a lot bad new about terrorist.

Have you been listening to Luke English Podcast? I'm a huge fan of LEP and I heard a few weeks ago that italki sponsors LEP. I've been here on italki since 2013, but I have to say I didn't have big success. Italki helped me when I prepared my language exam and I wrote two notebooks every single day. But somehow I always forgot this page. When I heard from Luke that his podcast sponsored by italki I was curious. I signed in and I saw that the page changed a lot. So, I hope I'll have spirit to come here and write some notebooks. And I want to see LEP listeners here, too. 

How do I know I am real?

I've found one of my notes from my English class and before I throw out it I want  to save a question from it. Well.

When you are dreaming most of the time you think it's real and now you think this is real, too. So, how do you know that you aren't dreaming right now?
