“Stuff you missed in history class” is a great site to go to if you love history. Choose a topic on the left-hand side of the screen, click on it, and then choose which podcast you would like to listen to. You can either listen directly on your computer or download the podcast and listen while your driving or relaxing at home.

We really don’t listen to music out of ‘boxes’, we listen to music out of ‘loudspeakers’.

I love this tip.
Joanna Goddard tells us how to introduce people to one another – with a nice little twist. The idea is to say the person’s name first and their relationship to you second. And not the other way round. It’s so easy, isn’t it?

In German, when someone says, “Danke”, you most probably reply, “Bitte”. Easy, isn’t it?
But what do you say when someone thanks you in English? You don’t have to say anything. However, if you feel you must, then try some of these phrases:
Thank you!
I’m always happy to help.
Happy to help you.
I’m glad you like it.
My pleasure.
You’re welcome.
I would avoid using ‘no problem’ or ‘not a problem’. We want to be more positive when communicating, don’t we?
