If you ever visit California💙🦋🌴🌴, you're gonna be blown away by how much Spanish is in the air.🇪🇦
For example, in Spanish "nothing" is "nada" or even just na'.
So it's highly expected you hear "I want na' " when in California.

So, back to the flow-essential habits.🕺
It's not ONLY about words and the way you've mastered your grammar that REALLY determine your fluency.😎
It's much more about your speaking habits. 🗣

From listening and analyzing you do mention some features that are typical for the language in particular. 👀✍

The proofs and real practice will be in tomorrow's (already today's actually) videos☺️🌸🫶

Hi!🫶👋 Let's talk about some changes English is going through🇺🇸✨
In American English the sound [i] in the first syllable is often pronounced [ai]🧐
British english is kinda unfamiliar with this, look🤩:

D[ai]rection
D[ai]mension

It goes after the rule with "vibration", where this (vi) is already pronounced [ai]😎

#wordessentialspack
✨BREAK FREE FROM - to get yourself released of an uncomfortable situation
✨LEGIT - something real and obvious, example: a legit problem
✨OWN UP TO - to confess your mistakes, example: I own up to having mistreated you.

WORD OF THE DAY🔥💪✨

Evening everyone! Hope you're enjoying the fancy New Year and Christmas holiday, although it's freezing cold outside🥶🎄🎄🎄 Here's an idiom:

Spill the tea (what's the tea) = to tell the latest gossips or rumors, to keep someone up to date (what's the tea=what's new)

HOW TO REMEMBER🙀🤔

💯Usually when people gather to drink some tea, they chat.😋☕️ And they chat a lot😉
So during this cozy little concersation gossips are flying around.
Example:
-I've been away on vacation for a couple months. Heard Jim and Clary are back together again.👩‍❤️‍👨 So tell me all about it, what's the tea?
