    Mother's Day Celebrations

    Mother's Day will be celebrated on this Sunday, May 13th in the United States. Typically we spend the day with our moms, give them gifts and maybe treat them to a nice meal. If our moms have passed away then we might visit their graves and participate in an activity to honor them. 

    What about in your country? Do you celebrate Mother's Day? If so, when and how. Be sure to share lots of details. We are very curious about the customs for this holiday around the world. 


    I look forward to reading your responses,

    Terry

    For the most part, big and large mean the same thing. The only difference you will find is when using these words more creatively. For example, we might say, "Jimmy is a big man on campus." This means Jimmy is very popular on campus. We wouldn't customarily say, " Jimmy is a large man on campus."

    Great question! Here are corrections for you: He didn't pay much attention to the fact. OR He didn't pay that fact much attention. The perfect answer of course would depend on exactly what you wanted to convey.

    Great question! A more common saying that you might hear used is, "brand of clothing". For example, " I really don't wear that brand of clothing." In this example, the word "brand" is in place of the specific clothing brand, such as, Levi's, Polo, Victoria's Secret, etc. Another version is "brand name", Example, "I don't always buy brand name clothing." This means, the person does not care if the type of clothing has a designer or well known brand name.

    Let's go to the movies...to learn a language!?!?

    I am a real fan of the cinema. I love many different genres, with SciFi being a strong favorite. So with the summer movie rush in full effect I wonder if anyone has found a certain movie extremely helpful with their language learning. Which films have helped you the most to learn a new language and why? Please be sure to tell us which language you are learning too. 

    Happy Movie Watching/Language Learning,

    Ry

    Thanks K.P. I will have to check out the work of Marshak. Peter can you give some suggestions? I am a fan of the poet Rumi, but, I have only read the work (so far), in English.

    Calling Your Inner Poet!!!!!

    Poetry speaks to the inner man, but, what about poetry in a foreign tongue? What do you think? Are you as stimulated by poetry that has been translated from one language to another? Or do you believe the translation dilutes the meaning? Share your opinion and examples of your favorite poet are much appreciated. Expand our literary minds by sharing the work of poets from your corner of the globe.
