Hello there!
When we think about Christmas it’s clear that there are many things related to that, right?
Why do we call this Holliday “Christmas”? What about the Christmas tree? What does it mean?

Hey there!
Are you busy? Yeah, I know! You have a lot of things to do and there is no time to practice your English skills, but you must agree with me that it’s really important to keep in touch with the language at any way, isn’t it? So, that’s what is happening to me right now. I’m really busy doing many things and I’m listening to the radio. It’s an international web radio in which I can listen to some songs and also some interviews. That’s my tip for you today. Take your chance to improve your listening skills having fun through this web radio. Enjoy!!!:)
Hi there!
Today I’ll post here another very interesting video with an English class. I have to tell you I’ve learned a lot of things with these Steve’s on line English classes, and I’m sure you’ll do as well. I’d like to put a spotlight on the GET PHRASAL VERBS below, with some usage examples:
GET THE IMPRESSION = to become aware of something.
E.g.: I got the impression this blog is becoming a pleasurable habit for me.
GET ACROSS = communicate successfully; make the people understand what you’re trying to say.
E.g.: I wonder if I’m getting myself across in English to you. 
Hope you enjoy!

One of the common things I firstly learned in English was the types of potatoes that I could eat, so I learned the definitions of “potato chips” and “French fries”. Remember those?
FRENCH FRIES
POTATO CHIPS
However, when I was reading the blog “Inglês na Ponta da Língua” I just realized that I had never asked myself about those potatoes we usually use on a beef stroganoff dish in Brazil. Now I know that kind of potato is called shoestring potato.
SHOESTRING POTATO
Have you ever though about that?
Actually, I never use these kinds of potatoes when I prepare beef stroganoff at home, just mashed potato.
MASHED POTATO
I do that because my husband doesn’t like shoestring potato and prefer mashed potato instead of that in all dishes I prepare… maybe he isn’t a creative gourmet…ahahahaha.
Enjoy!
I got this video from here.
Hi there!
It is almost common to know that we must use “BETWEEN” when involving or connecting two people, things or places.
Example: I was sitting between Paul and Charlie.
However, when referring to more than two people, thing or places we use “AMONG”.
Example: You’re among friends here.
It’s important to know that we can use “BETWEEN” to refer a group too, but when each element is considered as an individual.
Example: There were several embarrassing exchanges between Lydia, Kitty, and Jane.
We drank a bottle of wine between the three of us.
A lot should be written as two words. Although a lot is used informally to mean "a large number" or "many," avoid using a lot in formal writing.
Example: The crook had many [not a lot of] chances to rob the stranger.
