Well, well, well!  Word up, guys?  ",)

After being away from EC for a long time (3 months or so, almost like forever), I found myself back here yesterday, writing a blog. (*_^)  After putting all my thoughts together, editing and previewing my post for gazillion times, I comfortably signed out of EC.  I wanted to add a photo to the blog so I didn't choose to publish it yet.  After a little while, I came back to EC to post this really awesome photo.  But guess what?  No traces of my untitled blo

No doubt the same expression exists in many languages: "History repeats itself." It is undoubtedly true.

Hi there!

I would like to share here a nice experience I had in class yesterday with my Elementary III (adults) group. I have taught them about food, some healthy habits, keeping fit and so on, so I thought: "I should invite one of my friends from My English Club to be interviewed by my students...". So, that's what happened. I logged in and saw Martin, from Slovakia, online, then I invited him to participate in an interview activity and he said YES!!! I got very happy, because I wanted to provi

George: Hi, I’d like to order a Pizza, please.
Muammar Gadhafi: Hello? This is manor house. Pizza?! What is it? What does it look like?
George: I can’t hear you. There is some interference on the line. Would you speak up a little, please?

The Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi likes to use colourful language. In a recent speech he said that the US-led attack on Libya is by "a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history." Assuming that this is an accurate translation from the Arabic, these thirteen words offer four different expressions that English learners would do well to know:

A Day Outing!

It was a glorious, fabulous & enjoyable day for myself & my family, so I would like to share this day outing with you.

Originally my wife & I planned to visit this National Trust House on 12th a week before we went, but because I had to come into work due to the problem we had on Thursday(10th), I didn't have a choice but to change my shift so that I would resolve the matter & have a smooth flight operation safely & securely. Anyway, thankfully there was none further in trouble. S

Good day to all members of MyEnglishClub.

It's really amazing how the information in different fields of communication, science, and other fields of learning helps us in our daily activities. For example, watching news and current events help us aware on what's happening in our surroundings. It makes us informed and broaden our knowledge that we can use for our decisions in life. Like if we see news on television, one common example is the recent quake and tsunami in Sendai, Japan. From what hap

Hi Everyone,

Thank you all for your concern! I'm glad that some of the members here asked me for my 'part 2' and they really wanted to know how my study in Canada was going. I'm happy to tell you that everything here seems to be going well. I'd like to share something new with you.
