English idiom - The proof is in the pudding 🍮

Meaning - The true value or quality of something is shown when it’s tested.

Example - He claims his team is the best, but the proof will be in the pudding when they play the final match.

Like turkeys voting for Christmas 🎄

Doing something that is against your own interests.

E.g.
1. Supporting that policy would be like turkeys voting for Christmas - it’s not going to end well for us.
2. Agreeing to those budget cuts would be like turkeys voting for Christmas!

Do you know the word 'pantomime'? Pronounced - /ˈpæn.tə.maɪm/

A comedy musical theater show famous for audience participation and very popular in the UK! Do you think you'd enjoy a panto?

Hate is a strong word, but it’s simple and natural to use. Here are some alternatives if you want to mix things up:

Detest "I detest waiting in queues."
Despise – "I despise being late."
Loathe – "I loathe doing paperwork."
Can’t stand – "I can’t stand loud chewing."

Lovely phrase 👏🏼👇🏼
Ever heard the phrase "speak of the devil"? 🤔 This playful expression is used when someone you’ve been talking about suddenly appears! But did you know its origins are rooted in old superstitions?

Confused about the difference between since and for?

✨ Use since to talk about a specific point in time:
➡️ I’ve been learning English since 2020.

✨ Use for to talk about a duration of time:
➡️ I’ve been learning English for 3 years.

Mistakes are part of the language learning process

🌟 What if your 'mistakes' are actually stepping stones to fluency?
🌟 What if the only thing keeping you stuck is staying silent?

Start small and speak with confidence - even if it’s not perfect.

Ecstatic (adj - ek-STA-tik)

It means being incredibly happy or excited - basically, over the moon!

1️⃣ I was ecstatic when I passed my English exam! 🎉
2️⃣ She was ecstatic about starting her new job. 💼
3️⃣ We were ecstatic to finally see the band live. 🎶

When learning English, progress, not perfection is the key! It’s not about being flawless; it’s about showing up, practicing, and improving step by step. Celebrate your effort and keep moving forward - you’re doing so well! 💖
