Confusion between the verbs PLAY / GIOCARE / SUONARE
This video clearly explains the difference between the verbs PLAY, GIOCARE and SUONARE. I also clarify the confusion Italian esl students often create when using the noun UN GIOCO (a game). My posts focus on the particular difficulties that Italians experience when studying English.
Attenzione genitori! I vostri figli vanno male in inglese a scuola? Non preoccupatevi! L'arrivo delle lunghe vacanze estive rappresenta l'opportunità ideale per dedicare il tempo necessario per studiare l'inglese con l'aiuto di un bravo insegnante madrelingua ... in quanto i ragazzi non devono alzarsi presto per andare a scuola sei giorni su sette e, pertanto, sono più rilassati e meno stressati! Grazie al metodo di insegnamento comunicativo e divertente, il prof. Christopher riesce ad aumentare l’autostima di ragazzi che si trovano in difficoltà con la lingua inglese. Mini-lezione di inglese - PILOT / PILOTA. La parola italiana 'PILOTA' è molto interessante perché ha i seguenti significati: (1) Pilota della Formula 1; (2) Pilota di un aereo. Non è così semplice in inglese! Infatti tanti italiani pensano (erroneamente) che si dica 'Pilot' per descrivere qualcuno che guida una macchina della Formula 1!! L'espressione corretta è 'Racing Driver', mentre 'Pilota di un aereo' si dice 'Pilot' in inglese. Christopher White è l'insegnante madrelingua certificato Cambridge. English teacher in Jesi.

Welcome to this first post on cooking & baking in English which provides useful vocabulary to help ESL students improve their communication skills when cooking and baking in the kitchen!
This example gives a helpful definition of Kitchen Scales which are an essential piece of kitchen equipment for all those people who are serious about baking cakes. Example sentences (English / Italian): The kitchen scales weigh ingredients accurately. La bilancia pesa con precisione gli ingredienti. NB: The word 'scales' is usually plural in British English (but singular in Italian!) (My blog posts focus on the particular difficulties that Italians experience when studying English).  While helping my Italian students to improve their English, I realise that they often confuse certain English verbs. This blog post focuses on understanding and learning the difference between the verbs READ (in Italian: leggere) and RIDE (in Italian: cavalcare). The colourful image which accompanies this post clearly presents the infinitive, past simple and past participle forms of the two verbs: Read, read, read Ride, rode, ridden How do you use these verbs correctly? Here are some example sentences for the verb ‘ride’: I ride my bike almost every day (present simple – habitual action) I rode my bike a lot last summer (past simple – expresses a finished action in the past) I have never ridden a horse (present perfect using the past participle – expresses experiences in a person’s life). I hope this blog post on two confusing irregular verbs will help you to remember the difference between ‘read’ and ‘ride’. Christopher White (mother-tongue English teacher) Jesi, Italy. 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!
