Hello and happy Friday, everyone! 🎉 The weekend is almost here, so here is something fun for your coffee break. 🌍 Fun and culture: British and American words English is not exactly the same everywhere. In the UK and in the USA, people sometimes use different words for the same thing. Both are correct, so you can choose the one you like! 🇬🇧 British ➡️ 🇺🇸 American - flat ➡️ apartment - lift ➡️ elevator - biscuit ➡️ cookie - crisps ➡️ chips - chips ➡️ fries - pavement ➡️ sidewalk 💬 Examples 1. I live in a flat on the third floor, but the lift is broken today. (UK) 2. I live in an apartment on the third floor, but the elevator is broken today. (US) 3. In a British café you can have tea and a biscuit. In an American café you can have coffee and a cookie. ⚠️ Careful with chips! In the UK, "chips" are hot, long pieces of potato (fish and chips). In the USA, those are called "fries", and "chips" are the thin, cold ones in a bag. The British word for those is "crisps". 🎯 Mini-check Which word is British? 1. elevator or lift? 2. cookie or biscuit? 3. sidewalk or pavement? Write your answer below or just say hi - totally optional! 😊 ⬇️ Answers below ⬇️ 1. lift 2. biscuit 3. pavement 👉 Try it: look around your home today and say the British word for one thing out loud, for example: "I am eating a biscuit in my flat."

Good morning! It's Thursday, so the weekend is nearly here. 😊 Here is a useful phrase for your everyday English. 💬 Phrase of the day: run out of 📌 Meaning If you run out of something, you use all of it and there is none left. Pattern: run out of + noun run out of milk / run out of time / run out of money 🗣️ Real-life dialogue Anna: Would you like some coffee? Ben: Yes, please! Do you have any milk? Anna: Oh no, we've run out of milk. Ben: No problem. I can drink it black. Anna: Thanks! I'll buy more at the shop today. ✏️ Two more examples 1. I can't print the document. We've run out of paper. 2. Hurry up! We're going to run out of time. 💡 Small tip: You can also say "The milk has run out." Here we do not use "of", because there is no noun after "out". Write your own sentence below or just say hi - totally optional! 😊 👉 Try it: look in your kitchen today and say one sentence out loud, for example: "I'm going to run out of sugar soon."

Hello and happy Wednesday! 🙂 We are in the middle of the week, so here is one small mistake to fix before the weekend. 🔧 Mistake of the Week Many English learners say: ❌ “I am agree with you.” But the correct version is: ✅ “I agree with you.” 🤔 Why does this mistake happen? In many languages, people say this idea with the verb "to be" and a word like "in agreement" or "of the same opinion". When we translate word for word, we get "I am agree". In English, "agree" is a verb by itself, so we do not need "am", "is" or "are". 📌 Remember: ✅ I agree with you. ❌ I am agree with you. ✅ She doesn't agree with me. ❌ She isn't agree with me. ✏️ Quick check Write the missing words. 1. A: "This film is great!" B: "Yes, I ___ with you!" 2. My brother loves winter, but I ___ with him. (negative) Answers: 1. agree 2. don't agree 👉 Try it: say "I agree with you" out loud three times today.
