I love when my students see vocab they learn in real life.

My student told me a client of hers said “slipped my mind” in an email.

We discussed this in a previous lesson, and I’m so happy it’s helped her in her work!

*Slipped my mind = polite way of saying you have forgotten something

Seemingly so! If you click on the currency (as if to change it for another) you will see at the bottom that it’s taken from Yahoo finance and the last time it was updated ☺️

Just an FYI for anyone who doesn’t know, the iPhone calculator has a currency converter feature.

This is a lifesaver for me 🤭

Did you know this?

*FYI - For Your Information

*lifesaver - when someone or something helps you with a situation that causes your trouble

I was listening to Linkin Park - IGYEIH earlier, and when thinking about it I’m not really sure how I feel about songs’ names being abbreviations.

(Nevertheless, great song though 🤙🏻)

*IGYEIH - abbreviation for “I Give You Everything I Have”.

Small achievement of the day:

I saw this photo by PlayStation regarding when the next State of Play is, and realised that I could read 7 kanji ✌🏻

Love to see language learning progress in the wild

Do you know the difference between “affect” and “effect”?

At least for me, as a teenager it took some time to remember the differences between these two.

Did anyone else have difficulty remembering the difference?

I wonder how Spotify Wrapped is going to do me dirty this year.
I’m not prepared for them to expose my guilty pleasure… 🥲

I was talking with a friend today and mentioned the idiom “put the fear of God into [somebody]”.

She was confused by this, so I told her what it meant.

Meaning: to frighten a person very badly.

E.g, “The storm put the fear of God into the villagers.”.

I recently taught a student what “fortnight” meant.
She responded with: “Ah Taylor Swift’s song makes more sense now!”.

For anyone who doesn’t know, “fortnight” is another way of saying 2 weeks.

It comes from an Old English term which would translate into “14 nights”.
