Most blog titles say it all. So, don’t read the entire article for the information you want to get just yet. Skim through the contents, then spend more time reading up on the comments. Yes, you read it right. The comments section is where you find random people do real talk. These are the kind…

Some people would rather stay mute than speak. If you are like this, I encourage you to leave comments on blogs where the author nor the readers can’t see you.  It’s also high time to read the blog post to get as much idea when you are ready to share your own thoughts on the…

Countless books have been written on English grammar. Schools, in particular, demand you be excellent at its rules. Now, is grammar really important? To answer this question, try speaking English with a broken grammar. Do you think people will like it? Let me get to the point. Contrary to what others think, following the rules…

Well, well, well. I had lived in the middle of nowhere. So, I had no one else to practice my English with but myself.  In our village, if I talk to people in English they will probably have me executed by firing squad. In other words, none of my neighbors will ever like it. But…

Back in high school, I had limited vocabulary. I spoke English inside the classroom with broken grammar. If you tell me to think in English, I would probably go insane. Why? Because my brain was closed to empty. It needed input such as: Reading books, blogs, and newspapers.Listening to songs or podcasts.Watching TV series, video…

In the Philippines alone these days, most newborns get their first taste of English right after birth. “Hello, baby!” One day after: “Clap, clap, clap your…

Word Order. One of the things students have a hard time with is word order. Well, I used to have the same mistake simply because I had gotten used to speaking where the verb comes first, and the subject comes second. Luckily, schools teach us the core patterns that make up English sentences. As a…

Most people have this strange notion that they should do it early in the morning when it is quiet or in the afternoon or in the evening because they think their brain works better. Perhaps it’s true to some. But it doesn’t work for me. I have trained myself not to be dependent on what…
