Articulation!
Hello Everyone I hope you had a fantastic weekend!
Today we are going to talk about articulation!
Articulation is a technique to help improve pronunciation. Native English speakers practice articulation at school. It is very important for improving your speaking and audibility.
What is articulation?
Articulation is when you emphasize a sound or sounds in a word by forced mouth and/or tongue movements. For example the word "hard". Emphasizing the d will make it sound like "harduh". It is great for improving weaknesses in speech, such as the tendency of Japanese people to not pronounce the s when it comes at the end of a word.
Articulation also has to do with how you move your mouth. You exaggerate your mouth movement to exercise the muscles in your face. This makes it easier to become accustomed to moving your mouth in a way that is consistent with the way that native speakers move their mouths. Your pronunciation will greatly improve as your mouth and tongue will be moving in the correct way when you practice articulation.
Articulated words are easier to remember as well. This is because there is more activity in your brain and in your face when practicing articulation which helps with recall.
Try practicing your articulation! It will greatly improve your English!

Food Grammar!
Hello Everyone! I hope you`re having a great week!
Today we`re going to talk about food Grammar!
English grammar can be quite difficult to grasp but with the right practice you can get used to it! We will take a look at some food examples to help make sense of it!
Firstly let`s take a look at the word "Pizza". Here are a few sentences with the word Pizza.
I am eating Pizza. I am eating a Pizza.
I bought Pizza for lunch. I bought a Pizza for lunch.
Would you like Pizza? Would You like some Pizza? Would you like a Pizza?
If you use the article "a" with foods such as Pizza then that means that you are talking about "1" of it. If you remove the artice "a" then it is an undetermined amount. Meaning that if you are "eating Pizza" the listener doesnt know how much, only that you are eating some undisclosed amount of Pizza. It could be one slice, two slices or even an entire Pizza! It is the same with cake and other foods that would come as a whole or in pieces."I ate cake" means that it could be any amount of cake "I ate a cake" means that you ate AN ENTIRE cake.
With some other foods such as fruits, if you remove the article "a" it means that you are talking about the flavour and not the fruit. For example with "I ate banana" and "I ate a banana". The first example means that you ate something that was bannana flavoured such as ice cream and the other example means that you ate the fruit. The reason behind this is that in most cases adjectives and proper nouns don`t have articles (unless they are titles) which means that when you don`t use "a/an" or "the" with countable common nouns, you are turning the common noun into an adjective, an uncountable or a proper noun.
Let`s take a look at some more examples.
Bob: "I don`t like Apple" ~ This is is confusing as Apple is also the name of a software company.
Bob: "I don`t like (the company) Apple" ~ Now this makes sense as it is clear that we mean the company.
Bob: "I dont like apple flavour" ~ This makes sense, as here apple is an adjective which modifies the word flavour.
Bob: "I don`t like apples" ~ There is a counter "-s" so the sentence makes sense.
Let us take a look at some more examples.
Toby: "I have dog" ~ This could mean the toy of a character named "Dog" making it confusing.
Toby: "I have a dog" ~ Animals are countable making the sentence clear. He has one dog.
Toby: "I have dogs" ~ He has more than one dog.
There you have it! You can leave out articles when talking about foods such as Pizza, Ice Cream, Cake, Steak, Chicken (and Beef/Pork/Lamb by extension) etc as with most foods. They are usually adjectives or can come in partial quantities allowing you to not use articles (if you are able to) when speaking about them!
I hope you have a great rest of the week!
