I love the energy, the nerves, the vibe of watching people find their way in the labyrinth of academic life. And seeing the look on their faces when I present them with their brand new Rock Your English! books, and making them\u00a0<strong>smell<\/strong>\u00a0them. Yes, smell them. Why? Because that glorious new book smell is going to disappear before we know it. And although my new book will be out as an e-book, to me, there\u2019s nothing like the feeling of holding a real book in your hands. If you love books as much as I do, you might want to check out this great TED talk by the famous (and funny!!) book designer Chip Kidd. I suggest watching it with English subtitles (click on \u2018show transcript\u2019 under the video) so you can read the new words you hear.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-buydlyk-wtttrlhhi-w\/\">Check it out!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>USE IT OR LOSE IT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember, just watching that great video that I just mentioned is not enough to<strong>\u00a0activate\u00a0<\/strong>your English. Neither is reading. Both reading and listening strengthen your passive knowledge of English. Your ears and eyes know a lot more than your mouth does! So keep active! If you watch something, talk about it or write about it! A great way to practise this is by doing exercises online. Check\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/email.elephantcs.nl\/t\/r-l-buydlyk-wtttrlhhi-yd\/\">www.bbc.co.uk\/learningenglish<\/a>\u00a0to find some great interactive exercises to keep you sharp and snazzy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOUR QUESTIONS \u2013 ANSWERED!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHey Buffi \u2013 I said that someone was \u201cbrave\u201d when I meant \u201cbraaf\u201d in Dutch. They were doing well at school, and I wanted to say they were good. That\u2019s not right, right?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0From A, via email (<a href=\"mailto:info@rockyourenglish.com\">info@rockyourenglish.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Hi Ms A, thanks for your mail! But \u201cbraaf\u201d is not the same as \u201cbrave\u201d. Did they laugh at you or make you feel bad? If so, just tell me where they live and I will get all\u00a0<strong>MILF NINJA\u00a0<\/strong>on them. Until then, just know that \u201cbraaf\u201d in that particular situation would most likely be translated to \u201cgood\u201d, \u201cvirtuous\u201d, or \u201cconcientious\u201d. \u201cBrave\u201d in English means showing courage; taking a risk; or being bold. I think you were brave to mail me your question \u2013 I wish more people did! Hope that helps!<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNTIL NEXT WEEK, DARLING!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All good things come to an end. Like blueberry smoothies, pink champagne, and shoe sales. Until I\u2019m allowed to slip back into your mailbox next week, I send you a dozen roses brought to you during the most boring meeting at work (like ever!) and the person bearing them says \u201cPack your bags, name!
