- I was so busy yesterday, I had to do an all-nighter to finish the project. - Actually, the correct phrase is "pull an all-nighter," not "do an all-nighter." We always say "pull" in this idiom. - Why do we say "pull" instead of "do"? - It's just the fixed expression. "pull an all-nighter" means to stay up all night working. You can't change the verb; it's like "pull a prank" or "pull your weight." The phrasing is set, even if it doesn't seem logical!

Thank god I didn't have any siblings. I didn't get enough attention as it is. My parents were barely around as it was - split that in half and I might've vanished completely. Got used to doing my own thing early, which was fine by me. No sharing clothes, no fighting over the bathroom, no dumb sibling rivalries. Just quiet mornings and control of the remote. People with brothers and sisters always talk about their built-in best friends, but I see how they fight nonstop too. Makes me think they're just convincing themselves it was worth it. For those who grew up with siblings - was the chaos actually fun, or do you just remember it that way?

English Speaking Club where you practice alone? Weird! But yes, we’ve got this chat where you can practice speaking alone. It’s a chill space to help you expand your vocabulary. You can just talk out loud, test new words, and get used to using them in sentences without worrying about anyone judging you. It’s like having a personal language session that can help you feel more confident. After that it's be easier to chat with others in our group chat and on video meetings. Let me know if you want to try it.

Don’t learn advanced English vocabulary until you do this! First, master the basics. Know common words inside out. Use them every day. Read, listen, speak. See how words work in real life. Big words won’t help if you don’t get the simple ones right. Think of it like building a house, strong foundation first. Once the basics feel easy, add new words slowly. Mix them into your normal talk. Don’t rush. Learning too many fancy words at once is confusing. Stick with useful ones. Practice makes perfect. Take your time. You’ll get there.

I have no idea why, but I have a great discipline level. I just do things when I need to, no fuss. Doing sports? Easy. Sticking to a plan? No problem. Maybe it's a habit, maybe I’m just wired this way. Either way, it works. I don’t overthink it, just get stuff done. People say it’s hard, but for me, it’s natural. Not bragging, just saying. Life’s simpler when you don’t fight yourself. Are you disciplined or it's hard for you?

It really makes me sad when members leave my English Speaking Club. To help prevent this, I try to keep things fun and useful. We talk about real-life topics, not just boring textbooks. Everyone gets a chance to speak, no pressure. I listen to feedback and adjust the sessions. Sometimes we play word games or discuss movies. The goal is to make friends while improving English. Do you usually leave feedback on goods or services?

These tips will help you understand advanced English grammar faster and better. Break it down into small parts. Don’t try to learn everything at once. Focus on one rule, practice it, then move to the next. Use real examples like songs or conversations. Listen to how native speakers talk. Notice the grammar in action. Repeat what you hear. Mistakes are okay, they help you learn. Keep it simple and fun. The more you use it, the easier it gets. Just take it step by step. You’ll see progress soon.

I’m a bit shy to admit that my favorite movie is “Perfect Days”. It’s about the simple life of a toilet cleaner in Tokyo. It might sound boring, but the story hits me deep. The main guy finds joy in the small things, like cleaning and watching the world go by. It makes me think about how much beauty there is in everyday life. Sometimes, you don’t need big drama or action to feel something special. Just living with joy and purpose can be enough, and that really speaks to me. What's your favorite movie now?

This is how I've practiced advanced English this week. I practiced speaking for 10 to 20 minutes each day over five consecutive days in my English Speaking Club. These sessions greatly enhanced my fluency and helped boost my confidence in communicating effectively. In addition, I completed four advanced grammar exercises, which improved my understanding of the nuances of the language. Moreover, I learned 23 new English words, expanding my vocabulary and enabling me to express myself more precisely. What is our favorite English activity?

Not an obvious approach to keep up your motivation while maintaining an advanced English level is to surround yourself with English materials in your daily life. It’s easy! You can watch shows, listen to music, or read books in English. Even changing your phone settings helps. Little things make a difference. It feels natural and fun. You won’t even notice you’re learning. Plus, you can chat with friends about what you watch or read. Do you use any English stuff in your daily routine?

I’ve been thinking about how I create that cozy, warm vibe in our Online English Speaking Club, and it’s all about the little things! First, I like to welcome everyone with a friendly message and maybe even a virtual background that feels inviting. I keep our chats casual and light, encouraging everyone to share their thoughts without any pressure. I also sprinkle in fun icebreakers and games to keep things lively. Oh, and I'm all about those motivational quotes that inspire us! It really helps us connect and feel comfortable practicing our English together.

My favorite, but unusual way to improve advanced English speaking is talking to myself. I know it sounds weird, but it really works. When I’m alone, I practice chatting about my day or explaining things I’ve learned. It helps me think in English and build confidence. Sometimes I even pretend I’m on a talk show, sharing my thoughts. It feels funny at first, but it’s a great way to get better. Plus, no one can judge me! Have you ever tried this techinique?

I hate it when you can't have video meetings in the English Speaking Club. So I decided to add this feature to mine. We have video meetings at least two times a week. These meetings are super helpful for boosting our speaking and listening skills. It's like having a fun chat with friends but with a purpose! Plus, the more we practice, the more comfortable we get. I love how we all support each other and keep it relaxed. Let me know if you want to join.

I have to admit that I’m into a calm, serene life without huge goals and achievements. I like slow mornings with coffee and a good book. Chilling with friends or just enjoying nature makes me happy. I don’t need fancy parties or big success to feel good. Small moments, like watching the sunset or listening to my favorite songs, mean a lot to me. Life feels better when I focus on peace and joy instead of stress and competition. It’s nice to just be and enjoy the little things. What simple things do you like?

My husband and I recently bought a sonic toothbrush. My impressions? I really liked it! It cleans teeth better, and you have to put in less effort. Do you use anything like that for your teeth? Any recommendations? I'm also considering an ultrasonic toothbrush, but the price is outrageous, so for now, we just got the sonic one.

By the way, many manufacturers claim that sonic toothbrushes are ultrasonic or mention it in parentheses. But that's just misleading! They operate at completely different frequencies! A sonic toothbrush has 40,000 vibrations per minute, while an ultrasonic one has 96 million!!! The difference is huge! Just like the price!

I just went for a walk and realized that I want my own little piece of land where I can dig in the dirt, break things, build, weed, and so on. And occasionally so barbecue 😄 My husband says I'm already becoming a retiree at 30!
