Present continuous

2013 is just whizzing by and your student questions  keep coming in

Hello Vya! I heard that there was a huge blackout in India a while ago.

I remember that when we were kids here in Canada,

if the power went off, we used to go yay!

I sensed a certain urgency in your question

and I am more than happy to share some of my experience

that I have with advanced speakers of English

I really recommend that you start recording yourself

and play it back, and analyse what you are saying when you're talking in English

Here are a few examples of mistakes that Indians might make when they're speaking

so try to eliminate redundancies in your speaking

I understand that India and so many other countries

take for example, shopping center and call it shopping

They are dialects of English and man it's addictive

Put me in a room full of non-native English speakers for a few weeks

and I might end up saying  "there's a lot many kinds of English" X

OK,my next question is from Tam Vietnam or Tom from Vietnam

Is there anyway to understand or to ask the conversation with the foreigner, if we cannot hear all the word clearlys? Thank you!

You have got to: formal; you gotta: informal

Anyways everybody I enjoyed doing this video

I know we're all swimming in a huge ocean of information

and sometimes we feel that there's a huge current

But hopefully my tips here can help you to swim to safer shores
