Fighting Vocabulary in English

2023-07-02T13:56:09+01:00

Unfortunately, we don’t always get on well with the people in our lives. Whether (if) it’s a partner, a spouse, a boss, or a friend, sometimes we get in fights with the people we care about.

But it’s good to know [...]

Dating Vocabulary in English

2023-07-02T13:54:27+01:00

Dating is always a little bit funny (strange). You go get dinner or go to a movie with a complete stranger, talk to them, realize you either like or don’t like them, and then maybe you fall in love with them. I always find it interesting how the most important people in our lives start out as strangers and come to mean so much to us! Like many other things in the English language, dating has its own set of vocabulary to go with it. And you probably won’t learn this dating vocabulary in class! If you intend (want to) [...]

We've said it before, and we'll say it again. Root words are a great way to learn a language!

Contronyms in English: Janus Words Part II

2023-05-31T13:42:58+01:00

We all know that English can be a complicated language. This counts double (is twice as true) when it comes to contronyms. Contronyms, also called Janus words, are words that have two distinct (different), opposite meanings.

While contronyms can be tricky, we're here to help! This week, we've decided to look at some more common Janus words along with both meanings and examples to help you out. Learn these common contronyms and add them [...]

English is such a wonderful mix of all different languages.  Many words in English come from different languages, and we call these words loan words.
