Hello Everyone I hope you had a great weekend!
Today we will take a look at a useful expression "I`m good".
The expression is quite common and can be used in various situations. It also transcends formality and politeness so you don`t have to worry about when you can and can`t use it.
The most common place you have heard the expression is when someone is asked "How are you?". You can respond with "I`m good, how are you?". You can essentially use this as your go to response when asked this question.
You can also use it when offered something. For example "Would you like an apple?". You could say "I`m good, thanks" to politely decline. You can add "thanks" to make a response more polite, especially when accepting or declining an offer.
Good day everyone! I am back again with another interesting idiom!
Idiom of the day: Make someone`s day.
Meaning: This is idiom is used when someone made you happy or relieved
after having a bad day.
Examples:
1. Your kind words had made my day.
2. Anna`s gift really made my day.
3. I was so sad today, but when you told me "I did well" it made may day.
I hope you learned another useful idiom today! See you again next time!

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!
