The one just below is for my elementary students to learn about food
Although the weather is not helping much I’ve decided to start this week in high spirits.
Curly: forming curves or circles
I’ve got curly fair hair
The pig has got a curly tail
Now, watch this funny add and see if you can understand it. Needless to say , you’ll need to understand the word curly .
Do you want to learn English and/or French, Italian, German… through music? Well, if this is so, this is your place. This cool site is called Lyrics Training and it’s just amazing and hear this ,free to use!
This is how it works: at the bottom on the right-hand side you can see some lyrics, choose according to your level. There are three: easy, medium and hard. Then, when the window with the song you’ve chosen opens up, choose your mode; again, there are three, beginner,(fill in the blanks10%), intermediate (25%) and expert (full lyrics).
Now, this is what you’ll see if you choose the song Tell him in the beginner mode. One of the best things is that if you get to a word and you can’t understand it or if it goes too fast, it will stop until the blank has been filled. The song literally WAITS for YOU!!!
But there’s even more. If you click on HELP at the bottom you can see what else the programme can do for you. Let’s imagine that you want to listen to the same line again, press Backspace, and if you are still unable to understand the word, don’t worry, just press TAB and the word will be written for you. Aren’t you dying to give it a go!!
Have a look at this photo and read what the notice says with attention . Can you spot the error?
Well, have you? According to the information the kindergarten is really exclusive.
Remember the difference between : the kids’ studio and the kid’s studio . In the first case, the studio is for kids in the plural whereas in the second case it’s just for one kid. I can’t see why anybody would want to send their children to a kindergaten where the kid will have to play with the teacher .
Today, this section Word of the Day, has a double aim. On the one hand, it is 
going to help my students see the difference between these two verbs “remember ” and “remind” and on the other hand, it is going to serve as an excuse for showing you a little tool to help you remember things.
Some of my students have problems seeing the difference between these two verbs, so here’s a written explanation and a short video explaining this difference. I recommend you to see the video first as it’ll definitely serve a double purpose, that of helping you improve your listening ability and at the same time solving your doubts regarding these two common verbs.
Remind me to set homework at the end of the lesson.
Cristina reminded us that the exam had been brought forward to Tuesday
When you say that someone or something reminds you of sth/so. you associate it with a memory from your past.
This boy reminds me of a boyfriend I had when I was at university .
I’ll always remember the first time I saw him
Remember to buy bread on your way home
In summary:
People ARE REMINDED of things. (it doesn’t appear in their head)
People REMEMBER things. (it does appear in their head)
REMEMBER = Person doing it themselves
REMIND = Other person making someone else remember

What is a good way to remind people of things that need to be 
done without seeming like a nag? Is there a way to politely remind people to do things? Yes, there is: it’s called RemindPost and it is a simple, free service to let you send reminders to people or to yourself and be notified when they’re done.
It works like this: You email someone a task. If they don’t mark it complete by the time you specify, both of you will be notified.
Hope you find it useful!
