I am a cat

I am a cat. I don't remember where I was born. One day, I found myself being on the street with my brother. We seemed to have been thrown away. We walked around for a few days feeling hunger, but we couldn't find anything to eat. We mewed for a while because we were totally helpless, and then the door of a house opened. We got in the house. There was a man in the house and he was talking to his wife. They seemed to be arguing about us. She didn't seem to like us. After a while, two other people

Today is the day every song has died.

The melodies you played so long ago in your old guitar, the songs you sang to me in the distance.
You gave new life to old songs and created some new ones, because there wasn't any lyrics that could describe our long meetings at night, playing with the moon and the stars.
You didn't even have to sing out loud: I could hear your heart humming from afar. In the distance, I hummed with you, and I sang a couple of songs for you, trembling voice, closed eyes. I knew the lyrics by heart.

How bold you see

Is the turkey a bird from Turkey?

This morning while going through my e-mail inbox I came across an interesting article in Quora written by Thomas Delvin - Content Producer at Babbel. I found it interesting enough to share it with you, members of myEC.

Let’s talk turkey. By which I mean, maybe my favorite etymology is of the word turkey. I love it because it shows that sometimes an etymology can be completely divorced from reality.

So to start, there are two things referred to as “Turkey

Teaching Generation Z

Snowflakes, Post-Millennials, Digital Natives, iGeneration: GenZers go by many names, some arguably more flattering than others. 

 

‘Snowflake’ emerged as particularly offensive; it implied that everyone was equally special for all that everyone was unique – not because of any extraordinary aptitude or ability they might display but because that was the ethos of the times. 

 

There was also quite a bit of grumbling over Snowflakes’ alleged sense of entitlement and lack of resilience.

INTRO:

With or without grammar?

I'd like to know your opinions on the subject of formal grammar learning.

When we learn English, we often learn grammar at an early age and then it's not taught formally after that. This means that most native English speakers grow into adulthood, speaking English but not having a good knowledge of the grammar that makes the language up.  The lack of this knowledge doesn't stop us from speaking and listening proficiently. However, when we start to learn another language at school, we suddenly fin

●°• What's your color ●°•

This isn't that usual question . We have learnt to answer in our primary schools days , with a lot of childish pride .

It's more than that . It goes far to the early Islam civilization and was
associated with a horrible pandemic the spread among big Islamic cities at that time .
The face of a sick person had 3 colors red , yellow and blue . As long as his face is red or yellow , there is hope for him to survive but if his face has the blue color , that's mean he is going to die .

Living room vocabulary

Two of the most problematic areas in learning a language like, for example, English, is new vocabulary and the pronunciation of it.  If you're talking with a native English speaker about their home life or you are in their home, for example, you will feel much more comfortable listening to them when you know the names of things they are talking about.  That you know their names and how to pronounce them, is very important.

Please check out the following video on YouTube about things found in a li
