“on board”, “in charge” “at large” – English PREPOSITION COLLOCATIONS (AT, ON, IN) 22 Oct 8:05 PM (19 hours ago)

Build your English vocabulary base by learning these 15 preposition collocations. Learning prepositions is hard enough when they’re alone, but they can be even more difficult when they are in combinations with other words. These word pairs must be learned like vocabulary rather than by rules about time or place. In this class, I will teach you how to use preposition collocations such as all in, in charge, in the dark, in light of, in all likelihood, on and off, on board, on behalf of, and more.

Speak Less, Ask More: Use Questions to Improve Your English 15 Oct 7:59 PM (7 days ago)

Want faster progress in speaking English? Learn how asking the right questions helps you listen better, learn more, and create stronger connections with others. Most people try to speak more, but I’ll show you why asking better questions is the smarter strategy: Discover the mindset and practical question types that get people talking and help you learn English naturally. Questions activate your brain, create trust, and slow down speech so you can process language more clearly. You’ll see why humility matters when you ask, how to use clarification and follow-ups to deepen understanding, and how simple frameworks like KWL help you plan conversations that teach you new language. This is for intermediate and advanced learners who want to turn everyday chats into real practice and build stronger social and professional relationships in English.

Say it correctly in English! The Confusing “ERR” Pronunciation 13 Oct 7:53 PM (9 days ago)

Are you familiar with the English sound /err/? It’s a vowel sound in British English! It doesn’t exist in some other languages, which makes it more difficult to get used to and to pronounce accurately. You’ll hear this sound in words such as hurt, girl, further, search, burn, and worth. It can be confusing because the words containing the sound vary in their spelling. In this lesson, I’ll demonstrate how to shape your mouth to get the correct sound, and I’ll give some examples of words which contain the sound, for you to practise on. So you will learn some vocabulary, too!

Is that word an ADJECTIVE? Use my grammar trick! 8 Oct 2:21 PM (15 days ago)

My easy trick to find adjectives in English. If you see the verb to be – like am, is, are, was, or were – the next word is often an adjective. For example, in “I am tired” or “She is happy,” the words tired and happy are adjectives. I’ll also show you other verbs that work the same way, like get, become, feel, look, taste, and appear. You’ll also learn how to tell the difference between an adjective and a noun. By the end of this class, you’ll be able to find adjectives quickly and use them correctly in sentences.

So what? We good? What gives? – Learn to respond to short English questions 5 Oct 8:00 PM (17 days ago)

Understand and respond to short, two-word questions that native English speakers use all the time. These questions can be confusing for learners because they depend on context, not grammar. I explain how to understand and use expressions like What for?, How come?, Say what?, What's up?, So what?, Says who?, You in?, Get it?, Now what?, How so?, What gives?, and You good? You’ll learn how tone and situation change the meaning, and how to answer quickly and naturally. By the end of this English lesson, you’ll feel more confident when speaking with native speakers and won’t panic the next time someone asks you a short, fast question in English. Get it?
