two holidays

(On the phone)
1- What is the weather like up there in Durham?
2- Awful! It's cold, cloudy and rainy.
3- It is always rainy here in March.
4- How is it over there in Cornwall?
5- Awesome. It is warm and sunny.
6- We are really lucky.

Notes:

Terrible: “awful”, “ugly”
Example:
The weather's terrible --> The weather is terrible.
It has no positive connotation like in French. There are a number of English words that are "treacherous", meaning they sound like "homegrown" words but have a different meaning. We'll get to that later.

Here's how to form an adjective from a noun:
a cloud --> a cloud.
cloudy --> cloudy.

The rain --> the rain.
Rainy --> rainy.

Always: always (all the time, constantly)
It's always hot in Cornwall. --> It's always hot in Cornwall.

Here: here indicates the location of the speaker: The weather here is great. Whereas there denotes a distant place (over there) What's the weather like there?.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hi! I am Koné and I am Ivorian. I am an English teacher and I speak French fluently. I think the sinequanone condition for speaking a language is to practice it while interacting with other people. So, to speak English, you have to get started.

50 Ways to Improve Your English Vocabulary 1. Read, read, read—and listen! Reading literary works, newspapers and novels will expose you to words you would not encounter in everyday conversations. In a similar way, listening to news, and even audio books can greatly improve your vocabulary. 2. Track your vocabulary learning progress with your phone, or book Keeping track of the vocabulary you have learned is an excellent way of ensuring that you are making progress. This will also keep you motivated to keep learning new words. 3. Have a word of the day There are calendars, apps, and even websites that will give you a new vocabulary word every day to keep your vocabulary list growing over time. 4. Have a vocabulary list on the wall (at home or office) Keeping a list of vocabulary around you wherever you are will ensure that you remember new words. 5. Play games! Word games can be fun, and at the same time quite educational. So, play puzzles, word jumbles, Scrabble, and anagrams to learn new words in a fun way. 6. Have a dictionary and thesaurus around you When you can find out the meaning of new words with ease with a dictionary or thesaurus, you can learn to use the new words you hear or see. 7. Practice! Once you have heard or read a new vocabulary word, do not stop at knowing what it means; try using it in a sentence, preferably in a conversation. 8. Start a blog Starting a blog has never been easier, and having a reason to write something every day by having a blog will inevitably result in growth in your vocabulary over time. 9. Translate words into your own language When you try to translate vocabulary words into your own language, they are committed to your mind much faster. You will learn to use them better as well. 10. Learn about English (and American) culture Taking an interest in the cultures of English-speaking countries, rather than the language alone, can greatly enhance your interest in the language and help you master English vocabulary faster. 11. Try vocabulary quizzes When you test yourself, you will know whether you are making any progress or not. That is why vocabulary quizzes can be so helpful when learning English vocabulary. 12. Use English news broadcasts and other resources to hear new words in context When you listen to people who are good in English using the language, you will master how the vocabulary is used much faster. 13. Correspond with an English pen friend Having an English friend you exchange correspondence with can greatly improve your English skills and vocabulary based on the language he/she uses. 14. Write down new words Whenever you hear or read new vocabulary, write it down. This makes it easier to remember in the future. This is also a great way to improve your English vocabulary. 15. Use pictures Pictures can greatly enhance how fast you learn and memorize new words. So, try to learn vocabulary words and images associated with them. 16. Learn with other people There are other people who are interested in learning new English vocabulary like you. You can join them and learn these words faster, and expose yourself to vocabulary you would not have found on your own. 17. Don’t be scared Big words can be scary, but you should be excited to learn them and make an effort to use them if you are to broaden your English proficiency. 18. Associate a new word you learn with people and events This technique will ensure that you remember the word and how to use it better in related contexts. 19. Use the new words in other sentences When you learn a bunch of new words, try making sentences with them so that they stick. This will also improve your confidence when you are using them in the future. 20. Learn the roots of words Many English words have Latin, Greek, or Germanic origins, and learning how they were created can greatly enhance how well you understand and use them in the future. 21. Study word formation charts Using a word formation chart is a great way to keep the motivation...

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

Carmen
English, mathematics and general school support from Primary to High School
Using my experience as a student, I first teach the vocabulary that will later be memorized through different exercises, both written and oral. This is how grammar will also be implemented. We will try to liven up the classes with short videos and songs from time to time, as I think they are a good tool to improve oral comprehension. If parents prefer to focus on general school support, we will work on the most difficult subjects, trying to give some time to each one, in a pedagogical and calm way.
