How to Use More English Every Day

2022-10-30T15:18:14+01:00

If you're determined to learn English (or any language, for that matter), the hardest part can be using it consistently.  To use more English everyday, you need a plan. When I first started learning German in college, I complained a little bit about having German class Monday to Friday for an hour and a half. Then my dad told me that it was necessary to learn the language, as I needed all the practice I could get. As it turns out, he was right (thanks, Dad!). When learning a new language, you need to practice a lot. It's a "use [...]

Not much, honestly. As an [...]

Is English Vocabulary Hard?

2023-06-28T19:12:36+01:00

We're shaking it up a bit (doing something different) this week on the Bespeaking blog! People always ask me if German is a hard language to learn and my answer always goes a little something like this: “To an extent, yes.” The grammar can be quite difficult. But when it comes to English vocabulary words themselves, it's relatively easy. If we are talking about loan words, or words that have been borrowed from another language, English usually takes the cake as the "cool" language to borrow words from. But did you know that these four English vocabulary words are actually [...]

The Perils of Word-for-Word Translation

2022-09-30T03:36:34+01:00

When I first started taking French in high school, and later when I switched to German at the beginning of college, my professors kept telling me that I shouldn't use Google Translate if I couldn't figure out how to say something. Of course being 14 (and then 18 years old), I thought I knew better and that I could fool them, so I translated a paper through Google Translate when I had too little sleep and a big deadline one night. Needless to say (clearly), that did not go well! While I still might think that I know better than [...]

KISS- and Other Ways to Learn English

2022-09-30T00:01:12+01:00

It might sound slightly offensive (mean), but when learning English, or any new language for that matter, the best thing to do is to remember the acronym KISS, or "keep it simple, stupid." This is a theory that can be applied to all manner of (many different) things in life, but especially when it comes to learning languages. Here are some of the top tricks to help you learn this fantastic, but complicated, language, all relating back to KISS, or "keep it simple, stupid."
