Hi there ! So this is my first blog article and I'm so excited to post more blog articles in the future , so my topic is about the 90 's films , I'm very fond of them and you will see why because I'm pretty sure you know them but there's one thing , I'm truely sorry If I didn't mention films that are for you worth mentionning , I didn't watch all the 90's films so I would be pleased if you could recommend me some films that you fond of  found intreseting ;)

Firstly , the movie that watched over and over again when I was little is of course" home alone 1 "it's the story of the McCallisters rushing to the airport to have the christmas in paris but when they get on the plane , Peter and Kate , kevin's parents realize that they  forgot him , he's only eight years old and have the house for himself alone , first he panicks then enjoys the fact that he has a big beautiful house to himself . It's a must-see sweet and funny film and I loved it because it has a christmas vibe to it , it's very cosy and you just feel happy watching it .

      

                

then there's Pulp Fiction , an amazing film with John Travolta , Samuel L .Jackson , Bruce Willis  and Huma Thurman .It's about two hit men who try to retrieve a stolen suitcase from their employer , A paid boxer to lose his fight etc , It's about  unexpected and unrelated people that form comedy events and some horrific consequences . IT's very special but you'll realize how great it is when you see it .

The last one is " You've got mail " with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan , It's a funny love story about the owner of a big bookstore putting out the local small bookstore that happens to be the women that he was emailing , they both don't know in real life who is the person that they're emailing and the way you found out is so emotional , I cried watching it hahaha , It's such a touching and funny film and you can really see the beauty of New York showed in it  .

                      

I hope you enjoyed reading my article , tell me about films that you think are intresting , I will be publishing some articles often so I hope I will get a better writing , see you next time ;) 

The pleasure of speaking English

Hello hello!

Today, I'm going to talk about the pleasure of speaking English, since it's a topic I am particularly fond of. In the past two years, I kept restraining myself from sharing it, waiting for the perfect moment; now the time has come, you can imagine how emotional I feel.

Without further delay, here are the words I would like to share with you, on the occasion of the beginning of June. This article is to be read slowly.

Thanks for reading! I hope the English language is no longer a mystery to you.
See you, Lola.

Strange, salty, substantial ENGLISHWORDS

Hey Charlie!

As you all know , there are so many words in the English Language...(but so little when you're writing an essay lol)

Anyway, the right number of words in the english language is a mystery according to some articles...
and it looks debatable!

How many words are in the English Language?

"Many people estimate that there are more than a million words in the English language. In fact, during a project looking at words in digitised books, researchers from Harvard University and Google in 2010, they estimated a total of 1,022,000 words and that the number would grow by several thousand each year. When you see a massive number like this, though, it’s important to remember that this includes different forms of the same word. It also includes lots of words that we could call archaic (they are not used in modern English).

In the second edition of the Oxford English dictionary, there are approximately 600,000 word forms defined. Again, this includes many old-fashioned words that are not in common use any more. The dictionary also expands every year to keep up with new words that are invented to describe the world around us, or to include new meanings for words that already exist in English. A more useful number from the Oxford English Dictionary would be the 171,476 words that are in current use. That means there are examples of each of these words being used recently.

That’s still a lot of words, though, and doesn’t reflect the number of words that English speakers actually use. For that number, let’s look at a recent study by the people at testyourvocab.com who say that most adult native-speakers of English have a vocabulary of 20,000-35,000 words. Obviously, these are not the same words and everyone’s vocabulary will include different words according to their career, education and interested.

So, let’s look back at the question. If we want to talk about how many words there are in English, there are three key numbers to remember: more than a million total words, about 170,000 words in current use, and 20,000-30,000 words used by each individual person."

How about you, though? How many words do you think you know and what are you doing to expand your vocabulary to the 20,000-30,000 that an English native speaker uses?

That made me think that there are so many words that we don't know about... and that we probably don't need to know to talk in our everyday lives.
But still it is quite powerful and exciting to think that learning new words means learning new ways of speaking, more precisely and it represents new ways to express what you feel in a different manner.
 #the right word

It can be great, for your next conversations with your inner self or with others, for your writings and for yourself and your knowledge. To identify what you feel, I do believe that words are what makes everything "real".

Here are some weird ones that I didn't know about...

Abibliophobia: The fear of running out of reading material.
To Canoodle: To hug and kiss <3
Collywobbles: Nervousness or butterflies in the stomach
Crapulence: Great intemperance, sickness, discomfort from eating or drinking too much.
Doosy: Something special or unusual, that is really great

Nincompoop: A foolish person
("I am too childish-foolish for this world", sorry)BARDOLATRY: excessive admiration, worship, of William Shakespeare ("the Bard") !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skedaddle: To hurry somewhere
Slangwhanger: A loud abusive speaker or an obnoxious writer
Wabbit: Exhausted, tired, worn out
To constellate: To gather together
To disenthral: to set someone free from enslavement

Anyway, tell me what you think about my article,
Ps: My favorite one is defintely this one:

INEFFABLE: Too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words. 

Bye,

friendly reminder

Hey folks,
Today I wanted to write to you about something I really care about : Verbs.

According to dictionary.com, the verb is the key word in most sentences, it is the word that reveals what is happening. It can declare something, ask a question, convey a command, or express a wish. (the possibilities is infinite, it's unbelievable)
I think verbs are very useful so I use them on a daily basis, they help me make all kinds of sentences and allow me to express myself correctly, which is a good thing.
I've found this amazing document in my english textbook and I thought it'd be nice to share it with you : it's about irregular verbs. We tend to underestimate their value as intellectual OIB students but they are actually quite helpful in everyday-life, so here is page 268 of Meeting Point, Anglais B1/B2 by Edition Hatier. There are about 50 verbs here, from "be" to "learn" (one of my favourites) so you can read and enjoy them.

I hope you guys enjoyed my pertinent and relevant article, see you soon and don't forget to use verbs.

English is great

Hey Charlie,

So a few days ago, as I was getting lost on the Internet, I stumbled across the poem about how easy English is that Nathan shared back in December, and it was read out loud, so I thought I'd share it !

But that is not what I wanted to write about. So, as I was continuing to get lost, I found a poem by Jerrold H Zar, called Ode to a Spell Checker. Here it is :

Eye halve a spelling check her;
It came with my pea sea.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye kin knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A check her is a bless sing;
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule;
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are knot maid too wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.

Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier;
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud;
And wee mussed dew da best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

That's why eye brake in two averse
Cuz eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.

Good luck for reading it !
