English is full of strange words… and their history is even stranger. ✨ Salary comes from the Latin salarium — money once linked to buying salt, one of the most valuable goods in the ancient world. ✨ Muscle comes from Latin musculus, meaning “little mouse”… because moving muscles under the skin looked like mice running around. ✨ Window comes from Old Norse vindauga — literally “wind eye.” ✨ Nightmare originally had nothing to do with horses. Mare was an old word for an evil spirit believed to sit on people during sleep. Learning vocabulary becomes easier when words tell a story. Which word should we investigate next? 🔍

Today, after school, I went to the gym, and then, because a friend invited me, we're planning to go to a local coffee shop called Angie. It's been a fulfilling day.

For me, learning a language is more than memorizing words. It is about understanding people, sharing experiences, and connecting with different cultures around the world. 🌍 As an ESL teacher, I enjoy helping my students learn new vocabulary while also encouraging them to appreciate the beauty of communication and culture. 📚🤍 #DailyVocabulary #italki #ESLTeacher #LearnEnglish #LanguageAndCulture #TeachingJourney

The weather is really nice today. I woke up early and did the things I needed to do. My close friends don’t have school today, so I’m alone, but I’ll do my best. I also have work later, but I’ll do my best too!

Recently, Japan is high temperature. I hate hot☀️ I can't wait for winter❄️⛄️

I am tired because I went to gym.
