Clear usage try and + (verb)
Andrew says:
'we try and meet up when we can'
'we try and make excuses to meet up'
Putting try and before a verb means you want to do something, and you make an effort to do it - Andrew and his family make an effort to meet up.
 You may also hear try to + (verb), which means exactly the same thing.  

Everyday English with Teacher Alyse

Clear usage try and + (verb)

The amount of courses and teachers promising and encouraging you to speak like a native is overwhelming! But is that or should it be the ultimate goal? I discuss this, giving mine as well others' points of view on this subject.

British English with Maria

To speak like a native or not  - that is the question!

In this video, you will listen to a story about one person have an accident, and vocabulary related to it. Hope the words you won't use it in the real life, but at least, enjoy the story. 
If you feel a bit more difficult, turn on the subtitle at first, after a few times later, you will be able to understand just by listening. 
Hope you like the little story.

Story learning Chinese with Annie

EASY CHINESE STORY LISTENING PRACTICE(COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT FOR BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATE)

Dear listeners,

In today's episode, you will hear about the methods and strategies that I recommend having while learning a foreign language. Learning Lithuanian is not easy, yet many people have managed to master it. If they have done it, you can do it too! All that you need is patience, time and the right mindset.

I hope that my ideas will encourage you to approach language learning with an open mind and to take control of the learning process more into your own hands. A good teacher can be a wonderful guide, yet we learn the most when we can continue learning outside of the classroom.

I suggest turning on the subtitles for a more comfortable listening experience. Install Language Reactor to translate the Lithuanian titles into your native language.

Also, if you wish to receive the full transcript of this episode, please head to my Contribee. There you will find all the podcast's transcripts, longer format Lithuanian with Paulius recordings and more.

En español, normalmente usamos el femenino y el masculino para hacer referencia al género de las cosas de las que hablamos y lo cambiamos en función del mismo. Pero algunas palabras no funcionan así, y cuando cambiamos su género cambiamos también su significado.

En el episodio de hoy te menciono algunas de esas palabras. Cuando lo hayas escuchado dime si las conocías y si conoces otras palabras que al cambiar su género tienen un significado diferente.

45 – Palabras que cambian de significado cuando cambian el género

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
北海道は、今日、少しだけ雪が降りました！
寒かったですが、テンションが上がりました！

全然話が変わりますが、今回のトピックは、
僕のオンラインレッスンの話です。

オンラインレッスンでは、基本的に日常会話をしています。
いろんなトピックについて話します。
これは日本語学習者のみなさんも、僕にとってもとても楽しい時間です。

最近は、このレッスンの時間に、ニュースなどの記事を一緒に読みたい、という方が増えてきました。
ニュースの記事を一緒に読んで、読み方がわからないところ、意味がわからないところをフォローします。
そして、そのニュースのトピックについて話します。

これは、とても良い練習だと思います。
このレッスン方法は、生徒のみなさんから提案してもらったものです。1つのニュースの記事を丁寧に読んで、意味を理解する。これだけでとても良い練習方法になります。
ですので、実は僕もこの方法を英語の学習に取り入れました。

日本語学習者のみなさんと話すと、みなさんのモチベーションに影響され、自分も英語の学習をがんばろう！と思えます。それから、新しい学習方法を見つけることができます。
みなさんの情熱とアイデアにいつも驚きます！

最近改めて思いますが、言語学習は、少しずつでもいいので、続けることが大切だと思います。やめてしまうとどんどん忘れていってしまいますね。でも続けると、少しずつでも前に進んで行くことができます。

息抜きしたい時は、僕の短い Podcastを聞いて、肩の力をぬいて、リフレッシュしてくださいね！


ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
