Engliscious English
Delicious English… io L Inglese lo trovò davvero delizioso … o forse no? In ogni caso ecco 10 buonissime ragioni per impararlo ! E ne aggiungere in un altra : per imporlo con me !
Happy Monday
Finalmente feste finite and I can go back to teaching !! Makes me happy !
Spelling bee..
What is it ? A spelling bee is a competition in which contestants are asked to spell a broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty. E niente di certo in Inglese NON possiamo certo dire “si legge come si scrive’. Nel post di ieri presentavo alcuni diversi modi in cui si pronuncia la combinazione “OUGH”. Per non parlare poi delle letter mute…e lo dico sempre sempre sempre.. la L di TALK NON si pronuncia; che dire poi della K di KNOW?
Pronunciation Frustration ?
E niente va cosi in Inglese :
CouGH > F sound
EnouGH > F sound
TouGH > F sound
ma …
BouGH > W sound
ThouGH > Loooong O sound
ThrouGH > OOH sound
On Top Of
Bottom line we are always on top of the situation !! E quanto ci piace l ‘inglese ????
on top of something
in control of a situation and aware of changes:
The stock market has been unpredictable, and you really have to stay on top of things.
On top of is also used to mean in addition to, esp. something unpleasant:
