He cuts down trees.
\nAnd what does he do after he cuts them down?
\nHe cuts them up.<\/p>\n

Oh, sweetie \u2013 aren\u2019t phrasal verbs fun? I thought I\u2019d brighten up your Monday with a grammar joke (lame as it was). Hope now you\u2019re singing\u00a0this<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just come back from the epic Eurosonic\/Noorderslag music festival held in one of my favorite cities- Groningen. I\u2019ve been going for over a decade but this year I decided to make a big change. And that was\u2026no plan. Every year I arrive armed with a little plastic file filled with notes, plans, confirmed appointments and schedules. Not this year. I had no idea what the program was, didn\u2019t know who was going or who was playing. Had no plans for any meals, drinks, shows, meetings, or anything else. I just decided to walk in tabla rasa and see what happened- I wanted to see what situations would present themselves to me. And it all happened. All of it. And more. I ran into so many lovely friends, students, and clients and had really great, in-depth, let\u2019s take all the time we need conversations. I talked to a Very Famous Artist about the Israeli-Arab conflict for 2 hours. I talked to a Very Famous DJ about love and how to express it. I talked to a Very Famous Actress about how to balance work that you love with a family you love. I talked to my students who were on the cusp of becoming parents. I cried a lot- happy tears at how deeply blessed I am to have all these wonderful people in every layer of my life. I got invited to dinners \u2013 Japanese, Indonesian, French cuisine and street food at 5 am. I went to bed at 5.30 every morning (the last day at 7) and I learned that some of the best things happen when they\u2019re allowed to just happen. That, for me, is HUGE. Can\u2019t wait for next year!<\/p>\n

One of the things several artists asked me about is how to really find the right word when you\u2019re trying to express yourself in English. If you\u2019re not actively using English on a daily basis, it\u2019s hard to increase your vocabulary. That\u2019s like going everywhere by bike every day and wondering why you\u2019re not winning the Formula 1 race. Keep driving to keep your engine warm \u2013 that will make all the difference! Here\u2019s a list of my Top 5 Websites To Increase Your Vocabulary When You Don\u2019t Use English Regularly.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take a fun test in different categories to see how much you already know \u2013 try\u00a0this site<\/a>\u00a0to get started.<\/li>\n
  2. Sign up for the \u2018Word Of The Day\u2019 at\u00a0www.dictionary.com<\/a>. And take their New Word Test every week! Oh, and download their free app. It\u2019s so helpful!<\/li>\n
  3. Use the\u00a0BBC<\/a>\u00a0as a great reference to learn words relating to different news subjects \u2013 it\u2019s a great resource for learning current vocabulary!<\/li>\n
  4. Be a master of your own vocabulary by creating your own adaptive learning system on\u00a0http:\/\/www.vocabulary.com\/howitworks\/<\/a>. It\u2019s very effective and a fantastic way to find words that are particularly interesting for you and your interests.<\/li>\n
  5. Play a quick but challenging vocabulary game on your coffee break at work with\u00a0this fun site<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
