My Monday morning lessons are kind of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dBG8CZSLvZ8\" target=\"_blank\">just&#8230;like&#8230;this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark your calendars\u2026..<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because on June 25<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0it\u2019s\u2026..<strong>WEBSDAY!<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, yes, y\u2019all! I\u2019ll be doing a brand new webinar on the difference between formal and informal English \u2013 one of the biggest communication problems people seem to have when writing and talking in English! In many languages, you have a formal and an informal way of saying \u2018you\u2019. But not in English!\u00a0 So many people struggle with how to express formality in English when we only have \u00a0one form &#8211; \u2018you\u2019. How do you dress your language up to meet the demands of a formal situation? How do you get more variety in your vocabulary to cope with social situations? If you always say the same thing in the same way, no matter who you\u2019re with, then you risk coming across as rude or too direct (trust me). My webinar will help you stop this from happening \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Xz0l101Nv34\" target=\"_blank\">here\u2019s a short video about it<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s up in Buffiland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been working on the new Racoon album (tears and goosebumps galore!), coaching new talent, preparing for exams\/auditions\/graduation for waaaaaaay too many students, and resting up my knee after a yoga injury last week. Looking forward to running again very soon!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your questions \u2013 answered!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBuffi, why is \u2018To where are you going?\u2019 wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 from S, during a lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Well, S, I\u2019m glad you asked! If a question has a \u2018question word\u2019 in it (like \u2018who\u2019, \u2018when\u2019, \u2018why\u2019, \u2018how much\u2019, etc) we normally don\u2019t start those types of questions with a preposition (in, on, at, etc). The preposition would be used in the answer. We would say \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d and the answer would be \u201cTo school\/work\/my goat sanctuary, etc\u2026\u201d . We also would not say \u201cAt what time does the party start?\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s something I hear far too often. It should be \u201cWhen\/What time does the party start?\u201d and the answer would be \u201cIt starts at\u2026.\u201d. Hope that helps!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sweet goodbyes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Off I go, my dear, only to reappear on your lovely screen (it looks so sparkly clean!) in a few short days. Can\u2019t wait to see you then! Until we are reunited, I send you an airplane ticket to somewhere far, far away, and you feel really sad because you have to leave someone you love, but then you get on the airplane and look who\u2019s right there with an empty seat waiting for you\u2026in my head!<\/p>\n<p>See you next week!<\/p>\n<p>Wit lof from buffi x<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dahlink!
