First though, I should survey the group with a poll - ask them what kind of English they need the most and where/how they expect to use English.Vanessa Vailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647639725252430851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37860137.post-77273703333819452982007-11-02T03:02:00.000-07:002007-11-02T03:02:00.000-07:00Hello!Firstly, my apologies for long silence, I di...Hello!<BR/>Firstly, my apologies for long silence, I didn’t to participate to our blog because my business trip to Germany, where I was for three weeks.

It may appear there some but not as frequently as in popular literature, movies and informal speech. Can you come up with specific examples?<BR/><BR/>What are some other words appearing in commonly used and idiomatic expressions that you find confusing?<BR/><BR/>I appreciate it when you let me know something is useful but that still falls short of our participatory collaboration goal. This blog is supposed to be a group and collaborarative effort.

Now, with this article my problem has been solved to a great extent. Thank you very much.<BR/><BR/>Bye<BR/><BR/>RajeevRajeevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173919990051665604noreply@blogger.com
