3 for the price of 1! How to triple your vocabulary….

I keep using the same words over and over again. I don’t know how to expand my vocabulary!’ Does this sound familiar? I hear this every day. And I get it. Painting with the same colors can be pretty boring. Not only for you but also for your readers and listeners. There is a gorgeous […]
Why I said no to the season premiere – tonight- of this great TV show. And why I changed my mind.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS NETHERLANDS on the Women’s Soccer Final!! Wait, what? The Netherlands did not win. But to me, they did. Their goalie, van Veenendaal, was extraordinary and had exceptional saves. I could watch her all day!! Such grace under such intense pressure. Geweldig! Ok, maybe the States won, but I am equally proud […]

Simon could not come to me. So I went to him. This is our story…..

This is my story about Simon. Simon has given me permission to share this with you. (He says hi.) Simon saw me on TV about a year ago and thought ‘Oh, maybe I can learn English with her.’ He looked me up online, found my site, and signed up for my newsletter. Then he started […]
2 countries divided by one language….

Oh, my dear, Please learn from my mistakes. Don’t do what I did. Once, when I was studying at Cambridge, I asked a friend (a BRITISH FRIEND) to check and see if ‘I had a hole in my pants’. I stood up, turned around, and bent over. We had been sitting on a rough, wooden […]

Oh my darling, It happened on Monday. Sad face. And again on Thursday. Sadder face. And on Friday morning too. The saddest face EVER. What made me so weepy? It was this…getting a well-written mail that was very well crafted and had the right style and tone, and it ended with this…. ‘I look forward […]
200 million people cannot be wrong

I remember his first day of school. How he was nervous but so friendly and warm. I saw his talent develop over the years, and I’m proud to have helped him nurture and extend that phenomenal talent. Struggling with writing lyrics that were a true reflection of what his heart was trying to say. Staying […]
Watch out for the ninja letters…..!
Wait, what, Buffi? Ninja…letters? What’s that? That’s my new name for letters that you can see but not hear in English. Oh. Wait. Ninjas are people you cannot see OR hear. Um…can I call these letters ‘visible ninja letters’? No, that sounds lame. I’m just going to stick with Ninja Letters. And I’ve capitalised it […]
