#2 University Vocab: Academic Literature
❗️When you study at a university you most likely have to read a lot for your essays and thesis paper.
🔎 Books are reliable sources of information. You find them in the library or, if you’re lucky, as pdf-files on the internet. Copyright is tricky, but you can always turn to Russian websites!
🔎 Articles, also just called papers, are more specialised than books. They are usually included in academic journals. It’s easy to get them on the internet but the quality of articles and also journals is not always good.
🔎 Websites are not academic literature! Anyone can publish anything online.
----------
📌reliable = trustworthy, always there for you
📌tricky = complicated, difficult

#5 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Meni kutib turing, besh minutdan keyin boraman.
❓Perhaps you think it is:
Wait me, I will go after five minutes.
❗️Sorry, but it should be:
Wait for me, I’ll come in five minutes.
❓Why?
❗️We wait for somebody, we don’t just wait somebody.
❗️We should use come and not go if we move towards the listener.
❗️If we mean five minutes from now we should say in five minutes. Only if it is five minutes in the past or in the future or any time, then we can use after five minutes, for example: I was there at 8 o’clock sharp but the teacher only came after five minutes. / Whenever I boil an egg I take it out of the water after five minutes.

#2 Learn how to learn: Handle your phone!
❗️Think of your phone as your best and worst “frenemy” – your friend and your enemy at the same time. It’s your friend because you can get any information you want but also your enemy because it steals a lot of your time.
1️⃣ Think of your phone as a tool, not as a part of your body. Do some regular activities (not only sleeping!) without your phone, like playing with kids, sports, gardening, cooking, etc.
2️⃣ Switch off notifications from social media. Your Facebook and Telegram should never make any sounds. If anyone needs you right now they can call you or send you an SMS.
3️⃣ Get an offline dictionary, for example Longman’s or Merriam-Webster. It gives you plenty of good examples for usage and you don’t have to be online for it.
Become who you are!

#3 World Englishes: Caribbean English
❗️About 6 million people in 18 countries and territories of the Caribbean speak English as their mother tongue. Most of them are black people that the British colonisers brought there from Africa. They speak a mixture of British (colonial influence) and Black American English (cultural influence) with localisms (African and native American influences).
🔘 Pronunciation: Quick is better! Double vowels are often reduced, like “face” – not [feıs] but [fe:s]; consonants can be reduced, like “hand” – not [hænd] but [han].
🔘 Grammar: Easy is better! “To be” is often dropped, and plural and tense endings, too.
🔘 Vocabulary: Local is better! Many words are only understood locally. Sometimes we cannot call it English anymore but "creole", a mixed language.

#7 Our favourite mistakes: Pronunciation
▶️ Try pronouncing the following words:

• document
• evolution
• monitor
• Mexico
• Moscow
• Olympic
❓ Did you hear [a] sounds in them?
❗️There aren’t any [a] sounds here. The reason why you may be saying [a] is the Russian unstressed O, as in “хорошо” which sounds more like “хaрaшо”.
Three solutions:
1️⃣ [ə], like the И in “борми”: computer, continue, evolution, monitor (second O), olympic
2️⃣ [ɔ], like the O in “got”: concert, document, monitor (first O), Moscow (first O)
3️⃣ [oʊ] or [əʊ], like the O in “boat”: Mexico, Moscow (second O)
Dear fans of American English, your [a] has to be a long [a:] to make it American, and it only really works with 2️⃣.

#3 University Vocab: Tuition Fees
❗️ Deciding where to study is never easy because you have to think about so many things. Especially money. So it’s good to know what is what!
🔎 Tuition fees (British English) or just tuition (American English) is the money you have to pay for your studies.
🔎 A scholarship can be awarded to good students, either only covering their tuition or both tuition and living expenses. It is either paid to the university directly or to the student in form of monthly payments, not called “salary” but stipend.
🔎 A grant is money that can be given by a government or an organisation as part of a programme.
🔎 A student loan is money that students can get from a bank and have to pay back after they graduate.
----------
📌sth is awarded to sb = sth is given to a person for doing sth well
📌cover sth = here: be enough money to pay for sth
📌living expenses = money that people spend for food, housing, etc.
Keep it cool!

#8 Our favourite mistakes: Grammar & Vocabulary
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Olma juda foydali.
❓Perhaps you think it is:
Apple is very useful.
✅ Well, it should be:
Apples are very healthy.
❓Why?
❗️The Uzbek “olma” is singular but in English we need to use the plural “apples”, meaning “all apples”.
❗️When we talk about health we should use the word “healthy”. When we say “useful” we think of something we want to do, like “I love Afandi English, it’s really useful” (=I use it for learning English).

#3 Learn how to learn: Making a word list
❗️We all know the problem. Learning vocabulary takes forever and our word lists get longer and longer. Meanwhile we feel stupid for always forgetting.
❓How can we make the list efficient?
1️⃣ Focus on useful words. The best kind of words for your list are words that you’ve seen before but forgot or still don’t know the meaning of.
2️⃣ Avoid words that are not your level. Yes you want to reach that level but if it’s five levels too high then it’s just not the right time.
3️⃣ Limit yourself to one word – one meaning. “Park” (noun) and “park” (verb) mean totally different things, we don’t learn both meanings at the same time.
4️⃣ Wherever you meet your new words, try to keep them in their sentences. Only in this way you can also get a feeling for the usage.
5️⃣ Use a good dictionary that gives you examples for usage.

#4 World Englishes: Chinese English and “Chinglish”
❗️ 6-7% of Chinese people are fluent in English, but given the country’s huge population we’re talking about 80-100 million people! Northerners and Southerners may sound a little different, even in English.
🔘 Pronunciation: Words are pronounced one by one. Chinese may add a little [ə] when a word ends in a consonant (Northerners) or drop the consonant (Southerners), and Northerners may add [r]. “I don’t think it is a good idea.” ⏩ “I don’te sinke ite ise a goode idear.”
🔘 Grammar: Chinese grammar is very straightforward. No tenses, no plural, no cases, no articles – that makes for some challenges!
🔘 Vocabulary: Chinese doesn’t have words for “yes” and “no”, they have to repeat the verb, e.g. A: “Are you going to the party?” B: “Going!”

#4 University Vocab: Assessment
❗️ When studying at a university the way you get your grades is quite different from school. Let’s take a closer look:
🔎 Assessment means “evaluation” but it is more than just one grade. It’s usually made up of several parts adding up to 100%, for example 40% for an exam, 30% for an essay, and 30% for participation.
🔎 The pass mark is different in different countries. This is something to watch out for!
🔎 We speak of coursework for all the assessed homework that we have to do for one course at university. Did I say “homework”? That sounds a bit childish. The better word is assignments.
🔎 When we successfully complete a course we usually get some credit points.
