#140 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary & Grammar
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Agar men ko’proq yangi so’zlar yodlasam IELTSdan balandroq ball olaman.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
If I will learn by heart more new words I take a higher ball from IELTS.
✅ Well, it should be:
If I learn more new words by heart I will get a higher score in IELTS.
❓Why?
❗️ Do not use will in if-clauses.
❗️ Learn by heart is a complex verb. The three words may not stay together but get filled with other words.
❗️ We don’t take scores but get scores. The same applies to salary, visas and certificates.
❗️ Ball means something different in English.
⚠️ Learning new words by heart is stupid and outdated and it certainly won’t help you to get a high score in IELTS! Learn words in context, i.e. sentences and situations!

#15 Afandi Karaoke: My Love (by Westlife)
▶️ The 1990s with all its boy bands were a golden age of slow and understandable English lyrics. If this one is too easy and cheesy (=cheap, not good quality, of poor taste) for yourself, why don’t you send it to your low-level English learning friend?

#44 Know Your World: 🇭🇷Croatian Love Birds
▶️ Spring is the time of new life and new love, but not only. Old love also thrives (=becomes strong and healthy) as the story of Malena and Klepetan tells us. The two are storks, the birds that are supposed to bring babies. Storks, like ducks but unlike many humans, have a stable life partner.
But what a pity, Malena died of old age in 2021. Check out their great love story as Croatia is about to experience its second bird-less spring.
