English is Fun! Just learn with me.

Hello!

Have You ever wondered how often we express our opinion about something? Most of the times we say "Oh, I like it" or "Well, I hate it"... But how can we express our attitude to something in other words? I'll provide You with some examples of phrases that can be used insted of the common "I like it".

So first, insted of "I like it" you can say...

- I enjoy 

- I love

- I'm passionate about

- I'm fond of

- I'm a fan of

- I'm interested in

- I'm into

- I adore

- I'm crazy about

- I prefer

- I'm addicted to

- I'm hooked on

Next, insted of "disliking something" you can say...

- I hate

- I loathe

- I can't stand

- I'm not much of a fan of

- It drives me crazy

- It's not my cup of tea

- I'm sick of

- It's not my thing

- I pass

-I'm tired of

- That's not for me

- I'm not crazy about

So now, if You adore my post or the whole blog, please leave a comment below.

Hi!

Today I'd like to write about a VERY popular English word - "very". We use this word far too often, while it's not that difficult to change it into something less obvious. This can be really useful, especially while writing any longer text and trying to avoid repeating the same word over and over again. So... here we go.

very funny - hilarious

very expensive - costly

verry happy - cheerful

very unusual - extraordinary

very important - essential

very nasty - dreadful

very bad - awful

very good - great 

very dirty - filthy

very cold - freezing

very big - enormous

very hungry - starving

very hot - sweltering

very tired - exhausted

very afraid - terrified

very angry - furious

very tasty - delicious

very little - tiny

As You can see, there are many words that describe some basic properties of people and things without the use of the word "very". Of course, I don't claim that we can't use this word at all, but while writing any more official texts, it's just not the most sophisticated word to be used.

Best wishes,

Julia

Welcome to my blog! 

I created this blog to share with You my love for English and to help some of You learn this language easier, maybe even with pleasure and fun. I will post some most useful English phrases, most common mistakes made by the learners of English or synonyms of most popular English words. I hope You will like my posts and feel free to leave any comments or remarks.

Now maybe something about me...

I'm 22 years old and I am a student of English Philology on the Uniwersity of Silesia in Katowice. I've been learning English since I remember, as my mum is an English teacher and she used to speak to me in English when I was a really small baby. However, I decided to continue my education in this area because I truely enjoy using this language. Besides, I am a professional ballroom dancer and in my free time I train hard as my biggest dream is to become the Polish Champion in ballroom. Moreover, last year I decided to study Biomedical Engineering, too, so now I'm pretty busy. Anyway, I'll do my best to post regularly so stay tuned.

Best wishes,

Julia
