- Hello Lawrence,
Very interesting question indeed! I believe that when it comes to expressions, it is better to learn them naturally rather than studying or memorizing them. You may try to watch new movies or even Youtube videos about topics that interest you, they will provide with a wide range of up-to-date expressions in their appropriate context.
Let me know if you would like me to suggest specific things for you to watch :)0 votedDecember 18, 20180 - 4 New Year’s Resolutions for English Learners
To get you started, here are four ideas for New Year’s Resolutions that could help you improve your English in 2019:
<ol style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 30px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; color: rgb(56, 56, 56); font-family: OpenSansL, sans-serif;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; text-align: justify;">Learn a New Word Every Day
</li></ol>Memorising long lists of new vocabulary is very hard, but remembering just one new word each day shouldn’t be too difficult. It helps to choose words related to your hobbies and interests, or to pick words you’re likely to start using straightaway. This will keep them in your mind!
<ol start="2" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 30px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; color: rgb(56, 56, 56); font-family: OpenSansL, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Have a Conversation with a Native Speaker
</li></ol>When you’re in the classroom or revising at home, you might feel totally confident using English, but meet a real life English speaker and many of us panic and get tongue-tied! The only way to get over your fear is to push yourself to talk to native English speakers. Even if you only have one full conversation with an English speaking person this year, it’s a great first step!
<ol start="3" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 30px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; color: rgb(56, 56, 56); font-family: OpenSansL, sans-serif;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Read a Book in English
</li></ol>Depending on your level of English, this could be anything from a simple children’s book to your favourite novel. Choose something that challenges you, but isn’t so difficult that you give up and then read ALL of it – even if it takes all year!
<ol start="4" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 30px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; color: rgb(56, 56, 56); font-family: OpenSansL, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px;">Write a Blog in English
</li></ol>Set up a free blog on WordPress and update it at least once a week. This can be on anything you like. Choose an area that interests you, personal hobby, your travels, the food you’re making, or simply what you do each day! The important thing is that you write in English and don’t give up. If you’re shy about making it public, keep it private or only let your family and friends see it.
What about you? What is your New Year's Resolution as an English Learner?
December 18, 201801 Well said, Mirian. Thanks a lot for your contribution.
As for your questions, Aliph:1-Sure! However, the real celebrations come after the month of Ramdan is over...which we call Eid (Feast).
2-All muslims have to fast from sunrise to sunset no matter where they live ( except for the cases mentioned in the video)
0 votedMay 12, 20180Hello Aliph,
Thank you so much for starting this discussion.As I am not conservative myself, I think that sending each other good wishes in such occasions is rather an obligation as friends.
Of course you may wish your Muslim friends a happy Ramdan, I think they will be very happy when you do so. You can tell them " Ramdan Kareem" or "Ramdan Mubarak".
Hope I answered your question! Please let me know if you have any other queries :)
