Latin Expressions in Modern English

Translation into English

Do you think Google translate is good enough for your translations?

If you don't, here's some practice for you to rely on. 

Trust your instincts and translate into English, applying common sense, but not your clicks. 

Doctors say that using your memory and language skills, prevents you from getting Alzheimer or dementia.


So, next time you need to write in English, make sure you click on your own brain. Here's your Translation practice:

Expressing Quantity

Today's topic is not only about expressing quantity, but related to these bikes on the car. What I'd like to say is that there are many ways of counting things in English. However, let's study them and try to use the most common ones every day.

Word-building or Word-formation

Basically, we could start off by studying some basic word-formation suffixes and prefixes, which will help you to guess the meaning and grammar of English words.

So, here's your WORD-FORMATION theory and practice to do your best at school. Remember that there are not magical RULES for word-formation, and it's only a question of practice and loads of English exposure.

Let's put it this way...it's time for more words... - no matter your level of English.

Learning a language is like building a house. We need plenty of bricks to be able construct a venue with well-laid foundations and suitable enough for our living expectations: good sights, full of light, and comfortable for our family. By the same token, to produce a fluent speech, it’s necessary to manage a whole array of words, which must be assimilated, practised and used regularly, rather than only translated into the target language. Word-building takes time and what’s even more important: suffixes and prefixes must be recognized; otherwise you won’t make the most of your word-building. For further word-formation practice, you’d better click on words, words, words.

Making a mountain out of a molehill

Please,  do not panic... we are not going up any mountain today. Don't worry about it. This is just another idiom in English, which is used for exaggerating the importance of something.  As learning English is like climbing up a mountain, we'll see how to add some meaning for our speech and writing, whenever we need to overstate, inflate or simply clarify what we're talking about. But before we do that, why don't we watch The IT Crowd?
