Hey everyone! Sometimes we take a break from something we enjoy… and then it’s time to get back to it! 😊 After a little break, I’m back with my phrasal verb posts! 🎉 So today’s phrasal verb is PICK UP - a super useful one with several common meanings in everyday English. Let’s take a look 👇 🚀 PICK UP 💫 1. to start again Meaning 👉 to start doing something again after a break Examples: - I took a break from English, but now I’m picking it up again. - Let’s pick up where we left off. - She picked up her studies again after the summer. 📚 2. to learn, acquire Meaning👉 to learn something naturally or gradually Examples: - I picked up a lot of new vocabulary from watching English shows. - You’ll pick it up quickly! 🚗 3. to go and get Meaning👉 to go somewhere to get someone or something and bring them back Examples: - Can you pick me up after work? - I need to pick up some groceries on my way home. Sometimes we don’t need to start from scratch. We just need to pick up where we left off. 💪😊 ❓ Your turn! 💬 What’s something you’ve picked up recently? Maybe a new word, a new skill, a new hobby… or even a new habit! 👇🎉 Share your examples!!! https://www.skool.com/lme/classroom/c7105c70?md=f7344607995d4e60b7d2459faa755a95

That's the music of the language! If you can SING it, you can SAY it! 😜

Thank you @Adam Zhang @Chen Ling @Natasha Ermakova @Nza Kurdi @Pauline Wong @Sallie Chen @Sara Li @Xintong Zhou @Muhammad Ahmad @Bobo Wang @Bruno Dart @Daria P @Chrollo Jr @Smith Jess @Avazbek Primqulov @Morris Li @Steven Jiang @Nolla Nella @Ji En @Selina Wang @Parker Dee @Zhiyan Shi Today, we tried something a little different in our English Corner session, and honestly, I’m so happy with how it turned out! For the first time, I used a random “Would You Rather?” question generator to guide our conversation. Instead of simply answering questions, everyone had to choose, explain their reasoning, respond to different opinions, and keep the conversation going. We had some really interesting discussions about living in the moment, taking opportunities, waiting for the future, personal goals, wishes, and what really matters to us. And, of course, we got plenty of English practice along the way! 🗣️✨ Thank you to everyone who joined and made the conversation so engaging. I can't wait to see you again at our next English Corner! 🌍

RENAISSANCE MAN / RENAISSANCE WOMAN Someone who has many different talents, interests, or areas of knowledge, rather than specializing in just one field. The expression comes from the Renaissance, a period known for remarkable figures who were interested in art, science, literature, philosophy, and many other fields. Example: She’s a real Renaissance woman. She’s a lawyer, speaks three languages, plays tennis, is fascinated by different cultures and history, and is interested in technology, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. 💡 Fun fact: I learned this expression from Queen @Evelyne Vincent yesterday, and guess what? I came across it almost immediately while watching Mindhunter! I absolutely love these little coincidences. It feels like the universe is saying, “Yep, you just learned this one!” Honestly, I thought it meant someone who is elegant or has a very refined, royal kind of vibe.😄 Would you describe yourself as a Renaissance person?
