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

So, there are many methods of transportation. Of great interest is the fact that bicycles are very prevalent in Asian countries, particularly Japan. In the countryside, there are even large places to store them. The phrase opportunity cost comes to mind when thinking about different methods of transportation and choosing personal transportation. The phrase opportunity cost means some kind of good and bad point are associated with a decision. For instance, a bicycle is cheap, but can be inconvenient, particularly in poor weather. A car has more conveniences, but has a lot of expense. This kind of balance is an interesting thing to be considered in making all kinds of decisions.

Kind of an extension of what was written about last time, another reason for doing English study is that a lot of places seem to only have the country’s native language and English as a side language. Occasionally other countries’ languages are in there, but a lot of things I have seen do not seem to that. A very good way to challenge yourself is to just try your best to read what is there and try to learn the history of whatever it is you are looking at. Go for broke.

So, traveling is a good thing and there are a plethora of places to go and most of them will have some sort of paraphernalia such as brochures. The best part is they are generally multilingual and usually someone proofreads this material so that it looks and sounds accurate. If you travel, try picking up brochures in multiple languages as that can be a good way to compare and ascertain what you are reading.

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.

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
