Today we're talking about the difference between TALK and SPEAK and when we should use each of these words. I hope you find it useful! Don't forget that I'm a full time English coach and tutor, right here on iTalki. So if you use English at work and you'd like to improve your professional communication skills then feel free to book some of my time and let's get to work! I’ve worked with over 1000 non-native English speaking professionals, from new graduates up to CEOs and government leaders, to help them achieve their goals and I look forward to meeting you.

I love English lang. Thanks!

Today is Easter Sunday! We took MeeMaw to church for the service, and we even got some Easter eggs, how sweet! Honestly, not many people here celebrate the holiday, so we felt a little out of place. While waiting for MeeMaw afterward, I spotted a smoothie machine inside a 7-Eleven I was passing by. It felt like a lifetime since I’d last had one, so I dragged Mom over to try it. They had Coke and grape flavors; we grabbed two grape ones. Smoothies are surprisingly hard to come by around here these days. I don’t get why everyone’s obsessed with those heavy, milky ice creams. A smoothie is just shaved ice with a splash of fruity syrup—way better at cooling you down in this summer heat! Now I’m thinking I could totally make these at home… ideas are already brewing!

What's the correct pronunciation for "modern" in American English? 🆕

Today, I want to talk about Victorious. Do you know it? It’s a comedy show on Nickelodeon. Ariana Grande is one of the cast members. I love this show! Unfortunately, I can’t watch it on Netflix in Japan. I hope it’ll be available here someday!

I have seen many sci-fiction movies about time travel, most of them tended to send the main characters back to the ancient time and changed the history. Only a few of these movies were about future. So, if we plan to a time travel, the first thing we face is to back to past or visit the future. As for me, both of them appeal to me very much. I have two reasons. First, I always have a regret that I didn't choose a favorite major at the end of my high school life. It caused me do a job which I really don't like. I really want to go back to my high school life and start a new life. Second, I love my family, I don't want to change anything of my life. I just want to know if I make some mistakes now which will cause some bad results in the future. If I can predict the future and avoid some mistakes, my future life will be happy and thriving without any annoying things. In fact, both of them won't happen. The world just gives us today, the only thing we can do is to learn something from yesterday, and plan something for tomorrow. To be what kind of people is the thing you need to think about with great care today!

It was beautiful morning, so I got up a little early and went for a walk around the my house. Today, I’m going to eat dinner with my friends. I’m so excited!
