Hello darling! How are you on this happy holiday weekend? I hope you are having a wonderful time. You gotta love the Dutch. And I sure do! The Dutch made Easter 2 days long. Thank you, Dutchies! That’s why I’m sending this out early, so that we can all stay far, far away from our […]
Hello sweetie, How are you on this lovely Monday? I hope this finds you well. I’ve had such a wonderful time over the past few days reading and responding to all of your reactions to my free Detox Your English course – thank you so much! Some of you wrote your very first email in […]
Hello, sweetie! How are you? I hope your Monday is off to a swinging start! I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart – so many of you reached out to me when I wrote about my knife attack last week, and every day brings more messages and emails sharing your […]

“Buffi, I’m so tired of using English. It’s getting boring.” “Um…why?” “Because I’m sick of using the same words over and over again.” “I get that.

He cuts down trees. And what does he do after he cuts them down? He cuts them up. Oh, sweetie – aren’t phrasal verbs fun? I thought I’d brighten up your Monday with a grammar joke (lame as it was).
