Hi Lidia765,

The phrase means don't get the meaning wrong.

Think of the phrase - "Don't twist my words", it means don't change the meaning of the words that I have said into what you want to hear.  

So basically what the phrase means is don't misinterpret what has been said. 

Hope this clarifies the phrase for you. 

Regards,
Herman

Hello, my name is Teacher Sayr. I earned a college degree in Political Science back in 2017. And in 2018, I took Professional Teaching Certification. Currently, I am studying Juris Doctor.

I have been doing private tutorials for quite a while now. Back in college, I taught and helped young students aged from 5-12 years old on their school subjects. And even before pandemic hit us, I already catered private classes in a face-to-face set up. Then sometime in 2019, I decided to explore online teaching.

As a person, I consider myself as friendly and lively. It always excites me to meet new people from different walks of life and listen to them about their perspective of life and beyond. Travelling also fancy me. It gives me the opportunities to experience the culture and tradition of the locals on a specific destination.

I have two years online teaching experience, however I have been doing teaching or tutorials in an offline setting way back 2011. I am a TESOL and TEFL certified ESL Teacher.

I teach different nationalities like Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian and Vietnamese students. I help them in their quest for learning English as their second language. I guide them and motivate them to better their methods of communication such speaking and writing.

My teaching approach focused mainly on the student. I let them take the lead which means, they have the chance to speak in most time. I will provide constructive feedback if necessary after the student performs.

I 'm a native english speaker from London, available here to practice with you all the phrases and common errors that occur whether in a formal or informal conversation. Let's build on your vocabulary and communication confidence together with no fear of making mistakes... as that's how we learn ; )

I very much enjoy discussion based around the differences in the regional accents, idioms and expressions of english speakers, which often define context and intention when conversing in this language.

As someone who lives abroad, travel has been my own personal teacher in terms of relating to the difficulties of communicating clearly in my own language when in conversation with those who speak little english.
My background is as a musician, artist and painter who enjoys to write creatively. - Vocabulary and turn of phrase is fun to play with, as it outlines our experiences to and with others.

Bring the topics you want to discuss, and I look forward to chatting with you.

Всем привет! Меня зовут Денис, я из Украины!

Я стараюсь иметь разносторонние интересы и увлекаюсь разными активностями. 

Если говорить про спорт, то регулярно посещаю спортивный зал. Волейбол - второе спортивное увлечение - играю со студенческих лет, принимаю участия в любительских чемпионатах.

Чтение также заходит "на ура". Очень нравится бизнес-литература (про продажи и рекламу), не прохожу мимо классической литературы (Диккенза, Драйзера и др) и современных детективов (например, Ю Несбё). Несмотря на серьезность предыдущего выбора, очень нравится читать комиксы=)

Очень люблю играть на гитаре, периодически занимаюсь с преподавателем. Пока уровень  любителя, но "для души" хватает.

Время от времени получаю удовольствие от кулинарии.

Возможно, будет звучать банально, но иностранные языки - также хобби. Я с удовольствием читаю статьи (например, журнал Harvard Review), смотрю ролики топовых бизнесменов мира, читаю художественную литературу - на англйиском языке.

Для многих людей английский язык - это "мучения", вызывает ассоциацию рутинности и особой сложности. Безусловно, без монотонных заданий не обойтись (как и в любом процессе), но я уверен, что Вы увидите совсем другую сторону медали и полюбите процесс так же, как и я.

I try to have diverse interests and enjoy different activities.

If we talk about sports, then I regularly visit the gym. Volleyball is my second sports hobby - I have been playing since my student years, I take part in amateur championships.

Reading also comes with a bang. I really like business literature (about sales and advertising), I do not pass by classical literature (Dickens, Dreiser, etc.) and modern detective stories (for example, Yu Nesbø). Despite the seriousness of the previous choice, I really like to read comics =)

I love to play the guitar, I occasionally study with a teacher. While the level of an amateur, but "for the soul" is enough.

From time to time I enjoy cooking.

It may sound trite, but foreign languages are also a hobby. I enjoy reading articles (for example, the Harvard Review magazine), watching videos of top businessmen in the world, reading fiction - in English.
