Hello, friends! 

A bunch of you are well aware of the ‘Pronunciation Study Sessions’ conducted jointly by Galina and I right here on MyEC last year! The virtual class had, regrettably, ended abruptly and you haven’t got the slightest clue till this very moment! I’m sorry for keeping you, our enthusiastic learners of speech sounds, in the dark! Believe it or not, I was having problem back then saving any newly created blogs as ‘Drafts’. Usually, for your info, each blog of a study session would ta

Only In Malaysia:-

Independence Day

Malaysia celebrates its Independence Day twice in a year. Once every August 31 which we called "Hari Kemerdekaan - Independence Day", and the other one is every September 16 of which we called "Hari Malaysia - Malaysia Day".

   Hi English clubbers, this week I decided to bring to my blog post something about IQ, and therefore I thought to answer: If we had double IQ , how would it be this experience? Based on some readings I did on the Web I'll adress this issue. So, let's start again! ;)

  Imagine If everybody had double IQ how would it be the behaviour that population of geniuses on the Earth?

  With more intelligence, we'd have more ability to learn fast and remember anything too. Thus, It c

There's no escape.
The big pricks are out.
They'll fuck everything in sight.
Watch your back.

Weather Forecast

Harold Pinter [March 2003]

The day will get off to a cloudy start.
It will be quite chilly
But as the day progresses
The sun will come out
And the afternoon will be dry and warm.

In the evening the moon will shine
And be quite bright.
There will be, it has to be said,
A brisk wind
But it will die out by midnight.
Nothing further will happen.

This is the last forecast.

Shakespeare said: I always feel happy, you know why? Because I don't expect anything from anyone; expectations always hurt.. Life is short.. So love your life.. Be happy.. Keep smiling.. and always remember: 
Before you speak... Listen.
Before you write... Think.
Before you spend... Earn.
Before you pray... Forgive.
Before you hurt... Feel.
Before you hate... Love.
Before you quit... Try.
Before you die... Live (c)

Coming from friends' opnions, maybe that words" practice more and learn more to be strong enough then to a big company practice much more" yes, just this words hit. 

Coming from this small company, maybe it is n

What will you do if you found out that all of your important yahoo mails had disappeared and cannot be retrieved anymore? :-(

This happened to me not only once, I was surprised not to see all of my important mails when I arrived my country last year, though I know very well that it is an active account...

I'm going to share with you guys the story on how I've learned English, and tell you which is the best way to learn/improve it as well, in my modest opinion. You guys can also share how you've learned the language in the comments below. xD

Anyway, to tell you guys how I learnt English, since this is a common question friends ask eventually, here is how it went:

When I was a teenager, my parents put me in a Private Language Institute, and I studied there for two years. I was always bored and annoye

Hello, friends!

Recently one of our EC  members,. Prostomolotova Galina, .posted a blog "Some practical steps to acquire good pronunciation".  In her  blog she  tells  how one  could  use the TTS (Text-To-Speech,)  option on 'AudioPal' to perfect his English speech. I'm glad to see that some of our EC members have heeded  her advice,  especially those in the EC Phonemes and Pronunciation  class,  and  reaping  their rewards.  Do  you  want  to be one of them? Well!  Le

"Mom! I am back home! Our summer holiday starts! See, I have borrowed so many books form the library! Oops! They are as heavy as a bear!" Huh? So quiet? "Mom? I am back! Your lovely daughter is home! Mom? My lady?"

"Ah, my lady, you are always so laborious!"
"Oh my kid, are you hungry?"
"Yes! I am starving!"
"Poor poppet, let me cook your favorite food, just wait a moment!"
"Thanks, my lady!"

She greeted me with a friendly gesture. “I am an acquaintance of Ates’s family and I know Nida very well. I am here to tell you the story I know.” she said without waiting for me to ask questions. My desire to listen to the story grew. The few signs I used became less and less adequate. “Your father – God bless his soul – after his graduation, worked as a newspaper columnist and there, he met your mother. They loved each other and decided to marry.
