Learn English with EnglishClass101.com! Did you ever borrow your parents’ clothes to play dress up when you were a child? Whether you donned your father’s suit and tie or slipped on your mother’s high heels and jewelry, many children, English-speaking and others, have gone through this ritual. No matter what you chose to wear, your mother or father probably told you something similar to this in English: “Don’t try to grow up too quickly. Be a kid as long as you can, and then you’ll have a chance to wear grown-up clothes later.” But you still wanted something fancy to wear, so your parents probably bought you at least a little something that made you feel more mature. At some point, you probably also began to put on adult airs. Well, in this lesson, our English blog writer will tell you about a similar experience with her daughter.

Your friends walk into your house, and one asks in English, “What’s that smell?” You think to yourself in English, “How polite,” as you sniff and try to determine what it is that your friend has noticed. You tell your friend in English, “I don’t smell anything. Is it a good smell or a bad smell?” Your friend responds in English, “Oh, I think it smells like a cat’s litter box.” You respond in English, “Well, we do have one of those…let me go tend to that while you make yourselves at home.” After you clean up the litter box, you come back into the room and find your dogs have taken care of welcoming your guests for you. The same friend who complained tells you in English, “Friendly dogs you have here. Are you running a zoo?” As you assess how to answer in English, you make a mental note not to invite this friend over for lunch again.

Learn English with EnglishClass101.com! Being in the middle of something can be wonderful or annoying, depending on what the thing is. Let’s say you’re in a crowded elevator and everyone is jabbering on their cell phones in English…and someone smells less than fresh. Not so pleasant!

Learn English with EnglishClass101.com! Of the wonderful opportunities available to American college students, perhaps none is more appealing than the options to study and work abroad outside America for a portion of their college years. Having the option to travel to a foreign land may give English-speaking students the chance to learn a new language other than English, but it may also give American students the chance to learn about different English-speaking cultures too. So when you were given the opportunity to travel to work over the summer, you told the advisor in English, “I’d like to work in an English-speaking country so I won’t have the language barrier to deal with.” Little did you know that even though you spoke English, there would still be plenty for you to learn about the English language from the perspective of speakers in another country!
