Day 45

Reflecting on My Journey of Learning English Today marks the 45th and final day of my daily English blog challenge. Looking back, it has been an incredible journey filled with growth, challenges, and small victories. When I started, my main goal was to improve my English skills by writing every day. Now, I can proudly say that I’ve gained so much more than just better grammar and vocabulary. What I Learned One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that consistency is powerful. Writing daily pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to focus on improving specific areas of English, like grammar and vocabulary. I spent a lot of time understanding the basics, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and sentence structures.

Don't treat new words as if they correspond directly to words in your language. Words mean concepts, not other words. A word in your target language may translate to a word in your native language, but it may only translate to one meaning of that word, and it may have additional meanings. For example, in English, the word "time" means the concept of time in general, as well as an instance of something occurring, like "this is the third time you've asked me." That is not the case in German and French. Both languages have separate words for these concepts. (Zeit/Mal in German and temps/fois in French.) In general, developing a sensitivity to what you are doing when you use language will help you.

Day 42

Tip of today  There will be times where it feels like you're not making any progress in your trip of learning English  at all and then boom one day, you understand more. That's not because of the work you did yesterday, but all the work you've been consistently doing the months before leading up to that breakthrough. Progress comes in waves - it's not linear.

The vowel (( a )) makes the words right. 1. sauté (potatoes, onions, meat) = to cook food in oil or fat over heat, very gently;  2. sear (! difficult) = to fry a piece of meat quickly at a high temperature;  3. braise = to cook food slowly in a covered dish in a little fat and liquid; 4. roast = to cook food in an oven or over a fire;  5. bake = to bake is to bake! a cake, for instance= to cook inside a cooker without using added water or fat;  6. poach = to cook sth such as a fish or an egg with its shell removed, by putting it in gently boiling water - it all made me feel hungry despite getting down to it in the middle of my breakfast!

What Are Your Favorite Hobbies? A hobby is an activity you enjoy doing in your free time. It’s something that makes you happy and helps you relax. Hobbies can also help you learn new skills or improve your creativity. There are many types of hobbies you can choose from, depending on your interests. Some common hobbies include: Reading: A great way to escape reality and dive into different worlds. Sports: Playing basketball, soccer, or any physical activity to stay fit and have fun.
