REPORTER: Arnold, what kind of milk do you drink?

Say “hello” to the newest member of the Vig family.
We have an expression in English: Weekend Warrior.
It describes someone who does zero sports or exercise Monday through Friday, but when the weekend comes, he hits the gym or the baseball field or the golf course.
And then Monday morning, he’s bruised and soar.
Good morning!
Or if you’re in Fiji, Happy Wednesday!
Some deep thoughts for you today…
“Are you coughing? Do you have a fever? Do you have diarrhea?”
The sign outside the store said if I did, I should not enter.
Inside a teenager wearing a medical mask greeted me.
In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather’s fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
-from the song “In The Summertime”
lyrics by Mungo Jerry
Oh, it’s gonna be another hot one this weekend.
Or as we say here in the U.S., another scorcher.
“How many words do you know?”

Bob Marley wrote, “No woman, no cry.”
I’m going to write a song called, “No mask, no pizza.”

I usually eat healthy.
I get a lot of emails these days.
It started when I put my book Master English at Home online for free.
Yesterday my inbox told me I had 1,261 unread messages.
Make fewer mistakes and feel more confident speaking English.
Mistakes… Czenglish… verb tenses… conditionals…
You want to speak better English — Proper English — English without mistakes..
The biggest “secret” to learning a language fast is learning the right words. The English language is huge, but there are only a few words that native speakers use. Master these few words and everything in English becomes easier.
Not understanding conversations… And not having the words to finish sentences…
A bigger vocabulary fixes both problems. The problem is, how to remember words? And which words to learn?
