Express English Lesson 11 – Other Ways to Say “SAID”

21/10/2013

0 Commenti

 
LEARNING ENGLISH using key verbs. People say many things everyday. From the moment we get up in the morning until the moment we go to bed at night we express ourselves in many different ways, depending on the way we feel. This post looks at the variety of ways we communicate in English. Therefore, instead of using the verb “SAY”  we have lots of descriptive ways to describe how we communicate.

Which is your favourite figure below? I particularly like the “demanded” figure who is standing there with his hands on his hips!

Express English Lesson 10 – False Friends (Falsi Amici !)

17/10/2013

0 Commenti

 
Hello again! Today I would like to continue with False friends /Falsi amici. These are words which look very similar in Italian and English, but be very careful (!) since they often have very different meanings. Take time to carefully study a handful of useful Falsi amici and you will gradually improve your vocabulary.

 Accomodare  doesn't mean to accommodate but to arrange / (to) accommodate is translated in Italian as alloggiare.

 Affrontare  means to face, to deal with something /  (to) affront is translated in Italian as offendere, oltraggiare.

 Agenda  means diary.  Agenda is used to mean l'ordine del giorno of a meeting.

 Annoiare  doesn't mean to annoy but to bore /  (to) annoy is translated in Italian as irritare, dar fastidio
