Lunedi 5 febbraio

Start paying attention to the language you speak every day, namely, English. Become aware of curious, strange or unexpected things about it. For instance: did you notice a sign with a word misspelled?
(I once saw an awning on a grocery store (a bodega) that said: HISPANISH FOOD.)

Or an ad on the subway with strange, twisted wording?

 

How about new words that suddenly people start using, especially young people? Mannerisms? New idioms?  Are words from foreign languages entering English? Which ones do you use?

 

Are there words, expressions or clichés you hear on TV, shows etc. that you can't stand? Too trendy? Too banal? Too unoriginal?  (I detest with all my passion "the new normal.")

 

Then there are NEW words you never saw/heard: big words that you want to use next time you will have a chance, in order to impress.

 

As you pay more and more attention to language, are you becoming aware of the oddities of English?

 

Please, don't recycle old stuff you noticed time ago. Start now with the determination to discover new phenomena and become aware of new things.

 

Click COMMENT below to add your contribution. Then choose a comment from a classmate and REPLY, tell him/her what you think of the choice, if you heard it too, if you know the origin and so forth.

Discussione n. 2: autobiografia in italiano (Domenica 4 febbraio)

Yes, in Italian we spell 'italiano' with small "i".

 

Use the materials from Lezione 1 LINK to write your autobiografia in COMMENT.

 

No less than 5 sentences. Try to be accurate.

 

Also REPLY to someone who has something in common with you.

 

USE THE EXPRESSION   "ANCH'IO" which means "I .... ALSO", "ME TOO".

 

Esempio: io studio italiano.   REPLY: anch'io studio italiano (what a coincidence!!!)
