Greetings and hello and all that. It is time for another post for the week.

Well, it’s a topic that I enjoy and that is learning through some form of media, be it movies, TV, books, or games. I personally prefer games, but the other forms of media are fine as well. I often see movie posters down in the subway area, and it reminded me of this topic. This movie is one of a bit of controversy, actually, as many people see it as an unnecessary film that uses the title of the old one to gain attention. Judge for yourself.

So, the other week, I went across the Pacific Ocean to visit my hometown and got to thinking about the whole idea of study abroad. It is a very good experience and definitely something to consider if you are serious about learning languages. I went by my old school and remember seeing all kinds of students. The schools abroad are a great experience and you should give them a try if you’ve got the time and money.

Yeah, well, I was outdoors and came across a group of swans, which is called a herd apparently. In the English language, many animal groups have unique names, a lot of which are tricky for some. Groups of lions are called a pride or coalition depending on which gender type is more prevalent and groups of fish are called schools. These little things are a part of the language, although a lot of them are great trivia questions as well.

This will focus on vocabulary in a story. There are interesting warning signs all around. Some of them are questionable to the point of their existence. In the station, I saw one that said “No skateboarding” of all things. This was also in a lower floor, which baffled me. It’s already a confined area and such an activity would not only be unproductive, but hazardous. In this world, common sense is something not all possess apparently.

So, I saw an interesting sign at a station and the text simply said “NO STEALING”. While that’s not a mistake, it’s a bit too soft for the situation. When we have these kinds of situations, we like to be strict and stern. More likely than not, it would be more appropriate to say something along the lines of a punishment that would happen if theft were to occur. Something like “Shoplifters will be arrested”. Of course, simply stating the area is under surveillance is adequate I think.

Greetings upon this fine, nearly summer day. It is time for another post for the week.

So, spelling is an important part of English as even one letter can change the meaning of something into something else entirely or something nonsensical. I saw an Italian restaurant that claimed it had pizza and paste. Well, paste is a form of adhesive that I’m sure is not edible or at least should not be ingested for the sake of health. So when you’re spelling words, be sure they are not only correct, but the correct intention, too.

Greetings and what a sunny day it is indeed. It is time for another post for the week.

Well, using words as adjectives is a tricky matter that is something people need to master in order to speak better. I came across a sign that said “Excited price”… While the usage is technically correct, the idea is wrong. The correct answer is “exciting”. Words ending with -ed mean a personal feeling that the subject feels (e.g. I am tired). Whereas -ing means a feeling that others feel as a result (e.g. My job is tiring).

I am tired = my feeling
My job is tiring = a feeling from my job

So, we all know that the tense of the verb can determine when an action is taking, took, has taken, or will take place and it can play a role in what one is trying to say. I came across an ad that was printed on a glass surface and it said: “We developed many kinds of european tablewares”. This sounds like a company that did something and no longer does it, or perhaps they did it for a specific reason only. If it’s continuing, however, it should say “develop” and not “developed”. Also, European should have a capital E and tableware should be singular.

So, there are plenty of signs in this country that have text that is technically correct, although the idea behind them is questionable and sometimes laughable. Today I will present a minor example of this. I saw a sign about animals and I can understand the idea of animals, but the English text underneath said “No uncaged animals”. So apparently, if I bring a cage, I can bring the animal with me. I suppose the writer believed that bringing a cage is too hard, so it wouldn’t apply, but it would be simpler to just say “No animals”. Adding an adjective wasn’t really necessary in this case.

Well then. I always say that learning through some source that is of interest to the student is the best way as it will definitely raise motivation and is just simply good. This is targeted toward people who enjoy cooking and like following recipes, but is applicable to other forms of instruction. So if you have something you need to do and are able to follow the instructions in order to do it, and most of all are able to read and comprehend, then you have made progress.

So find some English recipes and get to work studying. I hope you can make some good dishes. I made pasta.
