Hey everyone! 👋 Today’s expression is “knock it off.” ✋ 👉 It means stop doing something annoying, irritating, or inappropriate. You use it when you want someone to cut it out immediately. Origin: This comes from American slang in the early 20th century, literally meaning “stop hitting” or “stop interfering.” Over time, it became a general way to tell someone to stop what they’re doing. 💥 Examples: • Hey, knock it off! I can’t concentrate with all that noise. 😤 • Knock it off, you two — stop teasing each other! 😅 • The kids were fighting, so the teacher said, “Knock it off!” 🏫 Figurative daily-life examples: • He kept texting me useless links — I told him to knock it off. 📱 • That joke is getting old; knock it off! 😂 • Stop complaining about the small stuff — just knock it off. 🙃 Now it’s your turn! 💬 Drop your own sentence using “knock it off” below 👇 WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER! 🤝

Hi guys. It strikrs me as strange that we use terms long ee and short e for completly different sounds. Long ee is not short e but longer, right? Maybe it would be better to call ee the tense ee and the e the lax e? As far as the vowel length is concerned, the consonant after a vowel decides. The aspirated t in bat makes "short" a shorter then the vibrated d in bad. What's your take?

I stumbled upon this podcast, which reminded me how crucial it is to use good vocabulary, as @Andrzej Zieliński introduced a great method to do that to us, last Tuesday. I can't wait to join the second session.
