There are, of course, loads of (1) differen...

What about heavy rain, big fight and regular exercise? I’m sure we can all find at least one other way to say these things. And yet, natives always use the same combinations, over and over again. So why do you thi...

Well, don’t be alarmed. I’m not a nerd (1), just look like one. Actually, I was watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. By myself (=alone), with a huge mug of ice-cream - yeah, I eat ice-cream in a mug -, and a lot of nervous expectations. I just finished the fifth film and couldn’t be more excited. And to be honest, I am only writing this because a technologically challenged girl that I am, I couldn’t play th...

Ever wondered why speakers of a certain language tend to make the same grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary mistakes when learning a foreign language?  Well, linguists blame it on our natural instinct to translate from our mother tongue. For example,  speakers of romance languages like Italian or Spanish drop in too many articles and prepositions when translating literally from thei...

"The characters are like drawing to me!" I heard it many times from my foreign friends. Every time when I heard of it, I laughed. Actually, it is a very interesting comment. When I learn other languages I may also have the feeling that the some parts of a language is so difficult. For example, I am in deep struggling of the conjugations of the verbs in Spanish.  So one question brought about: in which part Mandarin is almost effortless to p...

I can't think of a nicer way to learn English than doing English speaking mountain walks! The other day, I was out a walk in the beautiful Picos de Europa, in Cantabria Spain and the idea came to me. In fact, I had been having similar ideas for a long time. Why not make English learning more hands on, exciting and further away from the boring old class room? Well I finally managed it!  I'm lucky that I currently live and work right in the h...
