English Explained Simply

The problem with dubbing is that it not only removes the actors' voices but more importantly, it prevents them from fully expressing themselves and destroys the audience's desire to access the originals, which hinders progress in English. Dubbing makes ears lazy, unable to adapt to a new rhythm of words and forces you to revisit old language habits.  Another disadvantage: you don't know the tone, vocabulary and grammatical structures used by the actors. Sad, isn't it? Some say this prevents speakers of the target language from progressing in the source language. I agree!  Even if we are reluctant to learn another language and if it is difficult for us, let's go further, shall we, and persevere in learning the foreign language! Contrary to the popular belief that dubbing is better than subtitling because you don't risk losing the thread of the story like you do with subtitles, hearing the sound of an unknown language is unpleasant for the ears and tiring for the ...

  It is always possible to acquire new vocabulary from which you can learn while continuing to strengthen your skills. It is recommended to rephrase terms within sentences in order to get not only the ready-made elements for the conversation, but also the elements that fit perfectly into a practical situation truly adapted to what exactly you want to convey to your interlocutor.  In fact, don't spread yourself too thin in terms of the load of items to memorize, because you might have a lot of unnecessary words that won't make sense to you in terms of how you use them.  This is why I recommend sticking to the word environment in which you plan to use the vocabulary as well as the people you are going to address.  So make sure you indulge in the terms or phrases you want to use or you are likely to use on a regular basis to promote memory retention. Regularly read the vocabulary related to your environment, at least that which you would like to master in line with the ...

By literature, I mean writing-based exams. This, therefore, excludes mathematics, physics and chemistry exams based on calculations of all kinds which are not my field.  That being said, let’s start by taking off.  All written tests are accompanied by a heading giving instructions on what is expected of test takers. Let me insist that you read the instructions carefully, which will allow you to answer the questions without risk of slipping up.  After reading your title, categorize your ideas whatever ideas come from the text if you are asked to comment on a text or from your own knowledge of the essay if you have a quote to analyse, a short statement to address or a question to answer, they should all be approached through an outline. Why do we need to describe a written test? This helps organize your ideas not only for yourself as the exam taker, but also for me as the exam evaluator, so you can clearly see where you are going with this. So, break down your ideas into ...

The oral exam is not a written exam in terms of presentation which must follow certain rules to be effective.  I will distinguish the oral presentation in a group and the oral presentation individually. During the group’s oral presentation, each member must speak in turn, taking over from the comrade who  must not forget to give the floor to the next comrade when you are done with your part with a view to ensuring a smooth transition between each member of the group.   During an individual oral presentation, the speaker should, catch the attention of the listener in order to spark interest in his talk right from the start.       For both presentation styles, you must:  structure your presentation by means of an introduction, a development and a conclusion.  regularly seek eye contact with the audience or the jury members  indicate clearly the transition period: let's move on to the second part or let's go on to the second part and never ...

Make sure you are highly motivated when you undertake studies. Well, to cut to the chase, sometimes, you want to start higher education studies right out of high school without knowing what you're actually going to face. So, you spend a blank year realizing a little too late that it was not your calling! It doesn't matter, does it? As long as you get back on track the following year by choosing the training that suits you, no hassle!  Either way, as mentioned at the beginning of this post, you need to, and I mean it, be willing to go the extra mile if you want to get results. Of course, you will need elbow grease to revise your lessons as you go. Surround yourself with motivated learners, the very ones who will serve as role models to inspire you whenever you feel below average and help you move forward in positive thinking and action. You can't accomplish much if you don't try hard! As the saying goes, no pain, no gain!  Things don't happen out of nowhere: you have...
