English idiom - The proof is in the pudding 🍮

Meaning - The true value or quality of something is shown when it’s tested.

Example - He claims his team is the best, but the proof will be in the pudding when they play the final match.

Like turkeys voting for Christmas 🎄

Doing something that is against your own interests.

E.g.
1. Supporting that policy would be like turkeys voting for Christmas - it’s not going to end well for us.
2. Agreeing to those budget cuts would be like turkeys voting for Christmas!

Can't believe how many stars are out tonight 😮😍

Do you know the word 'pantomime'? Pronounced - /ˈpæn.tə.maɪm/

A comedy musical theater show famous for audience participation and very popular in the UK! Do you think you'd enjoy a panto?

Hate is a strong word, but it’s simple and natural to use. Here are some alternatives if you want to mix things up:

Detest "I detest waiting in queues."
Despise – "I despise being late."
Loathe – "I loathe doing paperwork."
Can’t stand – "I can’t stand loud chewing."

Lovely phrase 👏🏼👇🏼

Yes I've noticed that too! So annoying, but also refuse to pay for premium 😅😅

Confused about the difference between since and for?

✨ Use since to talk about a specific point in time:
➡️ I’ve been learning English since 2020.

✨ Use for to talk about a duration of time:
➡️ I’ve been learning English for 3 years.

Mistakes are part of the language learning process

🌟 What if your 'mistakes' are actually stepping stones to fluency?
🌟 What if the only thing keeping you stuck is staying silent?

Start small and speak with confidence - even if it’s not perfect.

When learning English, progress, not perfection is the key! It’s not about being flawless; it’s about showing up, practicing, and improving step by step. Celebrate your effort and keep moving forward - you’re doing so well! 💖
