Today's beautiful mistranslation moment: student shared some rather delicious sweet bread roulade in our evening class, and I asked what was in them. After a quick consult of Google, she said "opium". It took a shocked pause before we established "poppy seeds."

My class yesterday evening included a discussion of politeness and indirectness. A student remarked that British people seem to "apologise for happiness". Nicely put.
I have a completely unevidenced theory that the reason the English language (as used here) became so extremely over the top, apologetic and polite was because we dropped the use of "thou" and were left with just one form of you. Must confirm that bias at some point.

Amazing Michael Rosen has a roomful of academic managers enraptured listening a sharp analysis of picture books and language, learning a poem, hands on, and describing his own language learning at home and on holiday. Not here? You’ve missed a treat. #UKELT #ELTconference
I once wrote a column about Beth and accent prejudice. thetimes.co.uk/article/ae7da6…
This is all splendid and gives an insight into how scholars of language approach their subject. Geoff Pullum is a giant figure in linguistics, especially (but not only) English grammar. I’ve learnt an immense amount from him.

“Dictate one of these phrases to your smartphone Which one does it write?”. This minimal-pair-type game shouts, “Brazil!”. While I’m here, let me just mention the pronunciation course which Taylor Veigga and I run. It’s starting this Sunday. pron4teachers.com #ELT #ELF
What a lovely episode! Thanks @MichaelRosenYes and @beth_sounds for inviting me to be part of it. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
The passive voice is just a syntactical construction typically comprising auxiliary verb “be” (or lexical “get”) plus past participle. It doesn’t mean “being evasive”, nor need it exclude an agent. There is no such thing as passive tense. Partisans who fault MSM should pls note.
Who would win? GB News writers vs the conjugation of the common English verb "to fly"
This time last year I had an interactive whiteboard, a room full of PCs and all the bells and whistles of a modern college. Today I'm in a community centre, with an optional TV / laptop trolley. Is the learning experience any worse for the students in this room? Of course not.

First grading is the record, second is the sleeve. I've used sitck-it notes so they don't damage the sleeve when they come off. (Absolute charity shop pet hate) The price is also written in pencil inside the sleeve, so, if you find one without one, the price is still there 😎
