Hello, amazing people!

I’m excited to bring you new tips and tricks to help you on your English learning journey!

Today, we’ll look at fixing a common mistake, explore a new word to add to your vocabulary, and clarify a simple grammar rule. You’ll also find a fun quiz, a helpful learning tool, an interesting fact, and even a myth-buster to inspire you to keep going!

How does it looks? ❌

Many learners often say, “How does it looks?” but this isn’t correct. The proper form is,

When you use “does” in a question, the main verb should stay in its base form (without "s" or "es"). "Looks" is already conjugated for present tense, so just say "look." Remember, after “does,” we don’t change the verb form—keep it simple!

✅ Set small, daily goals.

Setting small, achievable goals each day can help you learn English faster.

Instead of saying, “I want to be fluent,” break it down into smaller steps, like “Today, I will learn 5 new words,” or “I’ll listen to an English podcast for 10 minutes.”

Small goals are easier to accomplish and give you a sense of progress, keeping you motivated.

Cherish

"Cherish" is a beautiful word to use when you want to show that something is very important and meaningful to you.

It’s a way to express love or affection for people, moments, or experiences that matter a lot in your life.

Who vs. Whom

Use “who” as the subject of a sentence (the one doing the action), and “whom” as the object (the one receiving the action).

• Example with “who”: "Who called you yesterday?" ("Who" is the subject doing the calling.)

• Example with “whom”: "To whom did you give the book?" ("Whom" is the object receiving the book.)

A simple trick to remember: if you can replace it with "he" or "she," use "who." If you can replace it with "him" or "her," use "whom."

Which word means the same as “exhausted”?

A) energetic
B) tired
C) calm

English is a “borrower” language.

Did you know that English is made up of words from over 350 different languages?

English has borrowed words like “piano” from Italian, “yoga” from Sanskrit, “ketchup” from Chinese, and “robot” from Czech.

This mix makes English a very flexible and interesting language!

Language exchange!

Try a language exchange! Find a language partner who speaks English and wants to learn your language.

You can practice speaking with each other over Skype, Zoom, or other apps.

Language exchanges are a great way to practice conversation skills, make new friends, and learn about different cultures.

Websites like “Tandem” or “ConversationExchange” can help you find a partner.

You need a big vocabulary to speak well. ❌

Not at all! You don’t need thousands of words to communicate effectively in English. In fact, a good base of around 1,000 common words will allow you to understand about 85% of everyday conversations.

Focus on learning and using the most frequently used words and phrases first; this will help you speak with confidence much sooner!
