    ***Attention Students*** Since the beginning of 2019 there have been many changes in my life. Consequently, my ability to teach has been limited. I have finally updated my schedule and I hope that we can continue together. I am taking on home school students, expanding my YouTube channel and about to become a Great Aunt again. All of these things will take more time. Please if you are one of my students and my schedule is not convenient for you, please message me and let's work together to find a way to stay connected. Thank you so much for all of your love, and care, and support during my recent illness. Blessings, Terasee

    To all my students November is a very busy month for many Americans. The holiday season begins with Thanksgiving. The Christmas shopping season begins the Friday after Thanksgiving. This is known as Black Friday. For me, November also includes my birthday. This year it is the day after Thanksgiving -- Black Friday. In the middle of all of this excitement, I am moving! So, I will not have internet service until after Thanksgiving Weekend. After that.. Lessons will continue. Thank you for understanding if I have changed any times or dates. I promise things will get back to normal..whatever NORMAL is ;-)

    ***New Course*** Many idioms used in American English have their sources in American Literature. My new course is tailored to all ages from the very youngest to the oldest. I will provide the book or story and the student will read aloud and then we will do some "homework" activities to match the reading portion. I think you will really enjoy this class. Please check it out in my courses American Literature for All Ages. Schedule a trial or 30 minute session!

Meaning the time difference MAY get bigger for you .. NO WORRIES -- Italki does an excellent job of making sure the calendar updates! Thank you Italki. I will need to know when your country makes its time change. Please email me to let me know and/or we will discuss it in our next lesson. Thanks!

    What do you like to do....?

    It is Spring in Middle Tennessee.  The trees are blooming, the squirrels are playing up and down the trees. And the birds herald the new day with beautiful songs.

    It is also the time for people to start thinking of travel and life changes they want to make. 

    For me, this year, I will be doing a little bit of traveling.  My brother with graduate from college in the next couple of weeks.  So I will be attending his graduation.  This is not a small victory for him.  He is 61 years old.  I am so proud of him. 

    The following week will be my 45th year class reunion in Texas!  I am a native Texan and it has been a while since I have been back.  Also, it will be the first time in a long time that my husband will actually have vacation time! :-)  We will be traveling the first week in May to Texas and spend 5 days there.  We will visit family and spend a few days in the town where we spent our honeymoon 21 years ago.  :-)

    I am hoping to do some more traveling later in the Spring or early Summer to more unfamiliar places, but for now I have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks.


    What are your plans for Spring and Summer?

    Students: December Deals!

    Hi!

    To all my current students:

    I am so happy to have been a part of your English language learning goals.  It gives me so much joy to see you happy and feeling successful.  Not to mention, we are becoming friends.


    With December just around the corner and all the holiday celebrations that involves, I am offering you a couple of ways to save some money this Christmas/Chanukkah so you can keep on practicing your language skills.


    Ask me about the December Deals at your next lesson!!!!


    I hope you will take advantage of these offers. It is your choice and I understand if you prefer not to participate.  I still love having you as a student.  I look forward to our next lesson!


    With a heart full of Joy!

    Terasee

    This is a really good question: to come along means to come with or come together with. It also can mean - to come in the future such as technology. In the cases you stated above... You could use just the word COME and be perfectly understood. :-) Teacher Terasee/701185
