Learning English with Characters!
Hello Everyone! I hope you`re having a fantastic week!
Today I would like to talk to you about characters!
There are many characters in fiction. Most characters that are promoted towards children are wild animals or inanimate objects such as cars. These characters are a great way to teach children English without directly having to teach them.
At amity we have a few books that feature characters such as "Peter Pig" and "Anna`s Rocket". Just from reading those names you can learn the word "Pig" from "Peter Pig" and Rocket from "Anna`s Rocket". Children will encounter these words with pictures from the books often enough that they will easily remember them.
Popular characters from Disney which are animals have animal last names such as "Micky Mouse" or "Daffy Duck". Some characters`names are simply the name of the animal such as Dreamworks "Donkey" from the Shrek series of films.
When you get the chance buy your children some character books that they can have fun reading and learn English at the same time!

Hi! Everyone how`s your weekend? I hope you`re all doing well.
Today I am going to share a useful slang that will help you sound native in an English conversation.
Slang of the Day: "Beef"
"to have beef with someone"
What does it mean? : "Beef" is used when you have a problem , conflict, complaint or grudge with someone or something.
Examples:
1. I have a beef with my neighbor.
2. I don`t want to have a beef with someone. It`s too stressful to have conflicts.
3. I am not talking with my friend since I have a beef with her.
4. My boss is lowkey starting to have a beef with me.
5. I don't really like Math. I have a beef with it.
Quiz time:
Which of the following uses the slang "beef" correctly?
A. I had to buy a beef yesterday for dinner.
B. I like my friend that`s why I have a beef for her.
C. I don`t go to that restaurant. I have a beef with the owner.

Good morning everyone! I am back again with a delicious dessert from the Philippines.
Today we are going to talk about Halo-Halo which means mix-mix when translated to English.
From the name itself, this dessert is made from a wide range of ingredients and all you need to do is mix them together. Are you willing to give it a try? If yes here are the ingredients:
1. Shaved ice
2. Condensed Milk
3. Sweet Red Bean
4. Ice cream
5. Fruits
6. Plain Cereal
7. Flan
8. Evaporated Milk
9. Purple Yam
10. Coconut jelly
Now, after you prepared all the ingredients, you need to put the shaved iced first, after that, mix the right amount of evaporated milk and condensed milk. Lastly you can put the rest of the ingredients and mix it all together. You can adjust the ingredients if you think it`s not enough.

Hello Everyone I hope you are having a great week!
Today I would like to talk to you about how to take the backseat when having English conversations!
One of the best ways to get better and be more comfortable having conversations in English is to allow more experienced speakers to do most of the talking. You will still talk but you will mostly encourage them to take the lead and limit your responses. Here is an example:
Dexter: Hey D, how are you?
Deedee: Good. You?
Dexter: I`m great. Just came back from the Lab.
Deedee: Yeah? How was it?
Dexter: Great. I have been working on a new invention. It`s INSANE.
Deedee: Wow. When can I see it?
Dexter: Soon. I should be done in a few weeks.
Deedee: Can`t wait! What is it?
Dexter: It`s a robot that does all of your homework!
Deedee: Wow! So Cool!
In this conversation Deedee is mostly reacting and moving the conversation forward by asking questions. Asking questions is one of the best ways of improving your English as you get double the practice. You get to practice making questions and you get to practice listening to how a native speaker answers. After asking the same question(s) many times you will have a much clearer idea of how those questions are answered naturally! And you will be able to use what you have learned to answer those questions yourself!
I hope this will help you improve your English!
Have a fantastic week and weekend!
Hello Everyone! I hope you have had a great weekend!
The new school year started at Amity last week and I would like to talk to you about introductions! We have had so many of those so far!
Knowing how to introduce yourself in English can greatly increase your confidence level with the language. As it is something that you will do often and knowing what to say and how to say it can go a long way in helping you feel more comfortable with English.
Let us take a look at some basic introductions.
Sam: Hello. I'm Sam. What's your name?
Yuma: I'm Yuma. I'm from Japan. Where are you from?
Sam: I'm from Cuba. It's in the Carribean.
Yuma: I see. Cuba. Nice country.
In this sample, they go Statement-Question. Then they respond with Answer-Statement-Question. It is good practice to always ask a question or add extra information to keep up the flow of conversation. For children it is more like this:
Jimmy: Hello. My name is Jimmy.
Rio-kun: My name is Rio. Nice to meet you.
Jimmy: Nice to meet you too. What grade are you in?
Rio-kun: I'm in the first grade. How about you?
Jimmy: Me too! Let's be friends!
Rio-kun: Yes! Let's!
This pattern of saying two or more things is a great way to practice your fluency. If you do so your English will improve drastically and so will your confidence!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
