I just bought a membership to a hotel spa.
What do I do there?
Well, when I’m not waiting for Sydney Sweeney to walk into the sauna, I’m swimming laps in the heated pool.
Swimming is one of my favorite ways to exercise.
But I didn’t always like swimming.
In fact, I used to be afraid of the water.
I’ll tell you how I overcame my fear.
And I’ll tell you how that can help your English.
But first, let’s talk about an idiom you need to know.
Jump Into The Deep End
Ever heard that one?
When someone wants to start something…
And they don’t want to start at Level One…
They jump into the deep end.
(the pool has a shallow end and a deep end)
In other words, learn as you go.
What do you think?
Is that a good way to learn to speak?
Or would you rather take it slowly and wade into the shallow end?
Share in the comments and we’ll continue this tomorrow.
Cheers,
Mr. Vig
Yes, I think reading is a good way to learn to speak.
It depends on my motive, on the actual incentive. If I plan to talk at the new job from day to day, I should jump into the deep end. If not, I should probably wade in the shallow end.
In my opinion its really good way learning English combine all once listening, reading, speaking. Every day learning power words too. Use to be I learned separate a grammar and I didnt use it in the usefull common conversation. Now I jumped into the deep end. Althouth I like slowly steps.
When I learned swim, befor I once drowned in the sea. Use to be I very afried deep water, and teached me swim my niece when I was 32 year. I overcame it in the sea. I love wade in the sea too.
