  • If you are working in business how do you think learning English can improve your results.

    This question is for students and not tutors. I have had many years experience teaching English to Business professionals and from what I know English can nearly always have great effects in your business life, ask question if you want to know how or better yet book a trial lesson.

  • Do you think learning idioms can pave the way for better learning for the students?
    Best answer

    Besides, not all idioms are equally important or common in language, another reason why students shouldn't memorize them indiscriminately. I've seen so many students confused about the basic facts of languag and making slow progress in their learning process, and still pushing hard to memorize idiomatic expressions like "raining cats and dogs", "the early bird catches the worm" and so on. My advice is first nail the basics and the you build on that. It helps if one understands what idioms are and what they are not. They are not a matter of grammar but a matter of meaning. Often the same combination of words may or may not constitute an idiom, depending on the meaning we assign to it. "Get back to" can be interpreted literally as in: "What time did you get back to the hotel?" or idiomatically, meaning to "respond" as in : "I'll get back to you in a little while."
