Different ways to say "Hello"
Hello Everyone I hope you`re having an excellent week!
In today`s article we will cover how to "break the ice” when starting conversations in English.
The most common way to greet someone in English is to say "Hello, How are you?". Even though that way is perfectly fine it can be a bit of an overused and dull way to start a conversation. What you could instead do is one of the following:
Compliments
"That`s a nice shirt. I like that design" would be an example of a great way to start a conversation. It makes the other person feel good and it gives you something to immediately talk about. Compliments on clothing or hair are usually pretty safe and are not too familair to give, even to strangers.
Commentary about the surroundings
"Geez it`s pretty cold today!". Comments about the weather or anything in the surroundings are always a safe bet when it comes to starting conversations. You could also transition into talking about seasonal clothing and what you prefer wearing in which season and so forth. You could even follow up with a compliment!
Try out these suggestions the next time you want to start a conversation in English!

Achooo!
Happy Sunday everyone! I'm back with a new topic. You might be confused because of the title but don't worry, I am going to explain it thoroughly. Have you ever heard of "Onomatopoeia"? ,if not, it is used in English to express a feeling through sounds and noises. The title is actually an example of an onomatopoeia. "Achoo!" is used to express a person sneezing, another example is "meow, meow" a sound that cats make, on the other hand it is always used for object sounds like "tick, tock" which expresses the sound of a clock.
Now that we've learned what an "Onomatopoeia" is, here's a list of the most common Onomatopoeias in English.
1.achoo =sneeze
2. gulp =sound of swallowing/ drinking
3. zzzz =sleeping
4. ding dong= doorbell
5. chirp = sound that birds make
6. honk- sound of a car horn
7. oink- sound that pigs make
8. quack- sound that ducks make
9. sizzle- a sound produced when frying or searing something
10. boom- a sound that is produced when something exploded.

It`s a Catch 22
Hello Everyone! I hope you`re having a fantastic week!
Today we will be taking a look at a very useful English expression. That expression is "It`s a catch 22!"
This expression is used when there is something that you or someone else wants, or you are discussing something that has good and bad things about it. An example would be FAME. "Would you like to be famous?" is a common question in English conversation and in my experience teaching English most Japanese people say "no" when they are asked this question. Why is that?
They typically respond by saying that they would not like to be bothered by strangers and that they would prefer privacy over a public image. They only focus on the negative aspects of being famous. Being famous does ofcourse have positive things about it such as having more opportunities available to you.
This makes being famous a "catch 22". If you want to be famous, you will likely be rich and have tons of fans and get lots of attention from people but there will also be downsides such as having little to no privacy. You have to be willing to take the bad with the good if you want to be famous.
The next time you are discussing something that has good and bad sides to it you can say "It`s a catch 22" to describe it.
I hope you enjoyed this article.
Have a splendid rest of the week!
