Tips for you to learn English

1. Rent some good DVDs and watch each one twice, trying to understand the story well. Then, watch it again without the subtittles.

2. Subscribe to any cable TV and watch as many programs as you can in English.

3. Memorize the lyrics from your favorite songs and sing it all day long.

4. Get some book or text in English, and read it out loud for about ten minutes every day.

5. Buy a good bilingual dictionary and study the phonetic section.

6. When reading in English (or listening), ignore all the words that you don't know and focus on those you know.

7. Only look up a word in the dictionary if it appears more than three times in the text.

8. Start writing a journal (diary) in English. If you don't know a word, make it up (yes, invent! use your imagination)! The important thing here is to structure your thoughts in English.

9. Copy texts in English often. This is going to help you memorize grammar structures and vocabulary.

10. Use the Internet to read magazines and the news, even if you don't understand anything at the beggining. Lots of comprehension will come once you get familiar with the text.

11. Try your best to think in English.

12. Learn to like the language. If you don't, you'll never be completely successful in being fluent.


These tips are actually not only for English, but any language you want to learn!
Have a nice weekend!!!

Quelques commentaire et explications:

Bonjour tout le monde

Je vais vous donner un peu d'humour avec un style familier:

Conduire comme un pied:conduire très mal.
Elle a jamais voulu comprendre:dans la langue familière, le ne ou n' n'est pas toujours exprimé.
Faire la gueule: faire la tête= bouder=montrer par l'expression du visage qu'on n'est pas content.
S'incruster chez les gens:rester trop longtemps chez les gens alors qu'il est visiblement l'heure de partir.
Le lendemain: le jour après par rapport à une date du passé ou du futur; demain s'emploie seulement par rapport à aujourd'hui.
Distribuer des baffes:distribuer des gifles, des claques.
Une féministe: une adepte du féminisme. Le féminisme est un mouvement qui revendique la
revalorisation du rôle et des droits de la femme dans la société.Le féeminisme s'est beaucoup développé dans les pays occidentaux à partir des années 60. Il s'oppose au machisme.
Les machisme est une idéologie qui consacre le fait que l'homme domine socialement la femme et a doit à des privilège.Par exemple, dans la vie de couple, un macho refuse de participer aux tâches ménagères comme la vaisselle, le couses...Il regarde la télé ou lit son journal pendant que sa femme s'occupe de tout alors qu'elle a travaillé toute la journée comme lui.

Au revoir et bonne journée

SAVE YOUR ENGLISH!!!

Hi, there!

This is a special week for us here 'cause it's our SAVE YOUR ENGLISH week. We're going to have fun and improve our English with different games and activities!!!

AND DON'T FORGET: SAVE YOUR ENGLISH!!!

Ventriloquism - very funny!!

"Ventriloquism is an act of stagecraft in which a person (a ventriloquist) manipulates his or her voice so that it appears that the voice is coming from elsewhere (...). The illusion of ventriloquism is just that, an illusion. A ventriloquist is skilled at speaking without moving his or her lips. The audience therefore actually detects the sound of the voice from the ventriloquist’s mouth, but sees only the mouth of the puppet moving" (to read the complete text, click here.)

Well, well... the theory might be boring, but if you watch this guy over here, I bet you'll LOVE ventriloquism. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome mister Jeff Dunham and his amazingly bitter friend Walter!
(he says a few bad words, but is very funny).



Have fun!
Kisses.
