Rock Your English! newsletter

HALO!

You might think that’s a typo. That I really meant “Hallo!” or “Hello!”. But I didn’t. I meant “halo”. Why? Because, sweet, darling, you are an ANGEL!! Heaven must have cried bitter tears of abandonment when you left and came down to bless us mortals here on earth.

AND YOU ROCK!! Almost forgot to say that.

RED HOT WOMAN?

I have the great honor of being nominated by the readers of Red magazine as their Red Hot Woman in the Media category. If you think I deserve to win, I’d love your vote! And you can vote once from every device. So please vote from your phone, sister’s iPad, your neighbor’s laptop, your children’s android, and your colleague’s computer. It’s all allowed, so why not? Heck, why not get all your friends to vote? It’s fun, fast and easy – like me (well, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad). Click here

Thank you so much!!

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

And this nifty visual dictionary will help you expand your vocabulary in specific fields! It’s a fantastic resource, especially for visual learners. Everyone learns in different ways. If looking at pictures helps you to remember words easier (as opposed to hearing them or writing them down), then this site will be a goldmine of information for you! Enjoy!

YOUR QUESTIONS – ANSWERED!

“Hey Buffi, I was wondering how you could ask for a “scherpe foto”? I have to ask someone that from England, and I am not sure how to say it? Thanks!” – from S, via F.

Hey, S, thanks for asking! You could ask for a photo that’s “clear” or “not blurry”, or for a “high-quality photo”. You could also ask for a “sharp” photo”, or a “sharp picture”. We say that in English too! Hope that helps!

LOVE YOU LONG TIME

And sweet, gorgeous, I can’t wait to get back into your mailbox next week with some new tricks and tips and Buffilove! I’m off to twist untwisted minds once again. Until then, sending you an enormous trunk filled with ice and bottles of pink champagne and some lovely people to drink it all with as you lounge by the side of your infinity pool at your villa in the hills of LA….in my head.

Wit lof from buffi xx
