My 45 days of creative Ideas in learning English

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. Each day, I picked a new topic—sometimes it was about common nouns, other times about tricky grammar rules. Breaking down the language like this helped me see patterns and improve my understanding over time. I also learned to be more patient with myself. Language learnin...

These are all words used to describe someone who understands and learns new things easily. 🤓💡  Try using one of these words in a sentence and share with us in the comments! 👇 

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.

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. Cooking: Trying new recipes and improving your culinary skills. Gardening: Growing plants and taking care of flowers, fruits, or vegetables. Gaming: Whether it's video games or board games, it’s a fun way to spend time with friends. You can have multiple hobbies, and they can change over time. For example, I recently started learning to play chess as a hobby. It’s fun and helps improve my problem-solving skills. Some hobbies can even turn into long-term goals, like learning to master a musical instrument...

Now a lot of us spend a lot of time on the internet and on social media sites so it's good to know some vocabulary that you can use to talk about your online activities in English.  Let's start with the internet which is a noun also sometimes called the net, the web or cyberspace although the internet is most common. When we use the internet, we use the verb connect. I connect to the internet.   You can also go online which means the same thing. In this case, online is an adverb which modifies the verb go but online can also be an adjective as in: I'm online right now.

English is all about communication  It’s important to be able to read. It’s important to have the vocabulary. Obviously, it is very important to understand grammar. But we are in a language of communication, so we want to speak. When you go on holidays you want to be able to talk to somebody at the train station, the airport, the hotel, wherever it might be. You want to have comfort and confidence in speaking English. The more frequently you speak with other people, the better your English will become.

Tip of the day  Pick an article based on your level. Something that’s not so difficult for the beginners and something that’s challenging for those at intermediate level. Read it, repeat it, read it again. Reading is not only about recognising the words. It’s also about the pronunciation. It is also about intonation. It takes a while but if you want to speak better English, then reading pronunciation and intonation are really important. And only when you are feeling comfortable, should you move on.

Whose Vs. Who's   Whose  is a possessive adjective or pronoun used to show ownership and possession either in interrogative sentences or relative clauses, whereas  who's  is the contracted form of "who is" or "who has" which also is used in interrogative sentences or relative clauses.

It’s I” Is Correct Grammatically. It's I  is grammatically correct. Use  It's I  in formal situations like business communication.  Rule:  When the verb,  To be  is used, it acts like an equal sign, and the object or thing used afterwards is something that renames the subject, and so subject pronoun is used. 

Today’s post looks at phrasal verbs and prepositional verbs relating to studying, learning, and taking exams. If you read through   something, you read it carefully from start to finish, often to find errors or check your understanding. Go over has two meanings. You can go over an essay or other piece of work by examining it carefully, often to look out for errors. You can also go over an essay or some notes by studying them again, often before a test.

Books play a hugely significant role in all our lives, so it’s probably no surprise that there are a lot of English idioms that include the word ‘book’. If you say you can read someone like a book, you mean you know what they are thinking or how they are feeling.
