I finally succumbed and got my very first iPhone recently and I must say its camera function is amazing. Check out the photos below! As for this blog on learning English, I'm now very busy and I don't plan to post regularly on here for the winter. However, I do … [Read more...] about Urban Scenes On Instagram

English Phrasal Verb – Take Care Of

Jack settled back in his chair, looked out across the room, and said to his client: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Everything'll be fine. I'll have it all done by the close of play tonight. " Take care of is a phrasal verb which many students seem to mix up with other verbs, and often learners make a mistake regarding which preposition to use. It might help if you … [Read more...] about English Phrasal Verb – Take Care Of

Word Watch – “I Don’t Wanna Brag” – Brag [v.]

I'm starting a new category of posts today called 'word watch', where I look at a word and how it's being used. In particular, the idea is to look at those which are used in spoken English or in songs but which don't seem to be given much attention in the main dictionaries (I'll also go back to the Get Into English archives and update any posts where I've focussed on one … [Read more...] about Word Watch – “I Don’t Wanna Brag” – Brag [v.]

“It’ll Get Your Foot In The Door” – Business Idiom

When Silvio approached a company for a job, he was told there was only one position available. However, it wasn't a full-time position nor even part-time job. It was on a casual basis. The HR manager said: "Right now we can't offer a lot. But we are the most prestigious law firm, and it'll get your foot in the door." Get your foot in the door means that it's an … [Read more...] about “It’ll Get Your Foot In The Door” – Business Idiom

“It’s Becoming A Thing” – English Phrase To Talk About Trends

Even English teachers pick up new language and last night I used a particular phrase for the first time. I wrote to a friend at the end of a long day and told her: "Y'know I was coming back into town tonight and wondered why everyone was drunk. And then I realised it's St. Patrick's Day! I didn't know it was becoming a thing here in Brno.."  (But hey forget about green … [Read more...] about “It’s Becoming A Thing” – English Phrase To Talk About Trends

The Countdown To Australia

I'll be in Australia very soon, so here's the latest site news on the direction of Get Into English:  It's about two years now since I had my lovely classroom and language studio in Prague, Czech Republic. Professionally speaking, I was happy with the set up. People in the city discovered the blog and some then contacted me for lessons. I wrote articles inspired by what … [Read more...] about The Countdown To Australia
