Similar Sounding & confusing Words Pairs - Part 02
source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2013年7月18日
http://www.letstalkpodcast.com
Excited Vs Exited
A lot of people get so excited when they're typing that they mistakenly write they are "exited," and their spelling checkers don't tell them they've made an error because "exited" is actually a word, meaning "went out of an exit." Excitement makes you excited.
Install Vs Instill
People conjure up visions of themselves as upgradable robots when they write things like "My Aunt Tillie tried to install the spirit of giving in my heart." The word they are searching for is "instill." You install equipment, you instill feelings or attitudes.
Lesson Vs Lessen
Although not many people try to teach someone a "lessen,"
many people try to "lesson" their risks by taking precautions.
"Lessen" is something you do—a verb—and means to make smaller. "Lesson" is a noun, something you learn or teach. Remember this lesson and it will lessen your chances of making a mistake.
Minor Vs Miner
Children are minors, but unless they are violating child-labor laws, those who work in mines are miners.
Comma Vs Coma
Some people write of patients languishing in a comma, and others refer to inserting a coma into a sentence. A long-term unconscious state is a coma; the punctuation mark is a comma.
Piece Vs Peace
It's hard to believe many people really confuse the meaning of these words, but the spellings are frequently swapped, probably out of sheer carelessness. "Piece" has the word "pie" buried in it, which should remind you of the familiar phrase, "a piece of pie." You can meditate to find peace of mind, or you can get angry and give someone a piece of your mind. Classical scholars will note that pax is the Latin word for peace, suggesting the need for an "A" in the latter word.
Pray Vs Prey
If you want a miracle, pray to God. If you're a criminal you prey on your victims. Incidentally, it's "praying mantis," not "preying mantis." The insect holds its forefeet in a position suggesting prayer.
Undue Vs Undo
The verb "undo" is the opposite of "do." You undo your typing errors on a computer or undo your shoelaces to go wading.
The adjective "undue" is the opposite of "due" and means "unwarranted" or "improper." It is used in phrases like "undue influence," "undue burdens," and "undue expense."

Learn to express Emotions through Interjections
source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2016年8月25日
Blog: http://www.learnex.in/interjections-t...
Website: http://www.letstalkpodcast.com
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/letstalkpodcast
1. WOW
This interjection is used to express multiple reactions.
It can be used to express:
Surprise- Wow! You won the match.
Sadness: - Wow! I’m really sorry to hear that your husband lost his job.
2. OUCH / OW
Either of these can be used for showing pain in the moment when you hurt yourself:
“Ow!I banged my knee on the corner of the table.”
3. EW / EEECK / YUCK / UGH
The function of these interjections is to express disgust or hate.
Example:
“Ew! Your wardrobe stinks. Do you even wash your clothes?”.
4. AHA!
Best used when you suddenly understand/ discover something, as a thinking word, to express contempt.
Example-
In a Math test: “Aha! I got the answer. ” (finding)
Contempt: Ah! Look what you’ve done! You’ve ruined it!
Understanding: Ah. I see what you mean.
Thinking: Ah…that’s not exactly what I meant.
5. OOPS / WHOOPS
When you make a mistake or react to a mistake you can use these interjections:
To make a mistake:
“Oops – I just spilled my soda all over the table.”
“I’ll get some paper towels to clean it up.
Reaction to a mistake:
“I borrowed a book from my teacher and then left it on the bus.”
“Whoops! Was she mad?”
6. DUH / WHOOP-DEE-DOO / LA-DEE-DAH
Use these interjections to express sarcasm. They should only be used with very close friends, because they would be offensive and inappropriate in a business context or a social context.
Duh is used in reaction to an extremely obvious statement:
Examples:
1. “Hey, did you know you can share pictures on Facebook?”
“Duh.”
2. Whoop-dee-doo is used when you want to say something is not as great as it seems. It’s like “Who cares?”
“I won $20 in the lottery!”
“Whoop-dee-doo.”
3. La-dee-dah is also used to express “I don’t really care,” in reaction to somebody else trying to sound impressive or show off:
“My boyfriend bought me a Ferrari.”
“Well, la-dee-dah.“
7. UM / UH
Use these interjections to pause while you think of what to say next.
Example: “How many students are there at your university?”
“Um, I’m not sure. I think around 1,000 – but I’ll have to find out from the website.”
8. GAH:
This word is used to express despair or hopelessness.
Example: Gah! I give up!
9. Bah:This is a dismissive interjection.
Example: Bah! You never liked him anyways.
10. Doh!
Meaning: That way stupid!
Example: I just deleted all my files. Doh!

What you need to know if you're going to court
source: JamesESL English Lessons (engVid) 2016年1月14日
Have you ever broken the law? Today, I'm going to teach you courtroom vocabulary. It's important to know the law so that you know your rights and know how to stay out of trouble. If you do end up in court, you need to know what to expect and how to communicate politely and intelligently so that you get the best outcome. The vocabulary and expressions you'll learn will help you understand what is happening in courtrooms on television shows and movies, as well as if you have to appear in court yourself. Court isn't just for hardened criminals -- sometimes we have to go to court for "misdemeanours"-- small crimes like parking violations and littering, or you may have to go to court because of a lawsuit or as part of your job. In this video, I'll discuss different strategies that will help you speak with the people you'll meet in court -- lawyers, judges, and police officers. My best advice is to stay out of trouble, know how to talk to the police, and be informed if you have to go to court.

Similar Sounding Words Part 01
source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2013年4月19日
View all lessons in this series at http://www.learnex.in
English Lesson : Similar Sounding Words Part 01
Apart Vs A part
Apart (adv) separated by distance or time.
For example: I always feel so lonely when we're apart.
A part (noun) a piece of something that forms the whole of something.
For example: They made me feel like I was a part of the family.
Here Vs Hear
Hear: refers to something that is perceived by the ear. Such as:
Did you hear that noise?
Do you need a hearing aid?
If I hear you say that one more time I'm going to...
Here: refers to a place or at some point or to present something. Such as:
Here you go.
I told you the cookies are right over here.
My friend here is single. Here once stood the Twin Towers.
Bazaar Vs Bizarre
Bazaar
A shop or group of shops where a variety of goods are sold
Examples
The church bazaar or the open air bazaar
Bizarre
Conspicuously or grossly unconventional or unusual
Examples
Restaurants of bizarre design--one like a hat, another like a rabbit
Assure vs Insure
Assure: to promise or say with confidence
Example: Let me assure you that I will be at the meeting at noon.
Insure: to issue an insurance policy
Example: I will insure my home with additional fire and flood policies.
Enquiry Vs Inquiry
The nouns 'enquiry' and 'inquiry' can mean 'question', 'inquest' or 'investigation'. They can be used interchangeably, but in the US, 'inquiry' is the more widely accepted. The words 'enquiry' and 'inquiry' derive from the verbs 'to enquire' and 'to inquire'. (The guidance on this page relates to the verbs as well as the nouns.)
In the UK, a distinction between 'enquiry' and 'inquiry' is developing. The word 'inquiry' is being used in relation to a formal inquest (i.e., an investigation); whereas, 'enquiry' is being used to denote 'the act of questioning'. However, there is still notable leniency on this distinction. Of note, many in the US will consider 'enquiry' a spelling mistake of 'inquiry'.
Personnel Vs Personal
Personnel: Employees are personnel,
Personal: Private individuals considered separately from their jobs have personal lives.
Retch Vs Wretch
Retch: If you vomit, you retch;
Wretch: ( ill mannered) if you behave in a wretched manner or fall into wretched circumstances, you are a wretch.
Shone Vs Shown
Shone: "Shone" is the past tense of "shine": "long after sunset, the moon still shone brightly in the sky."
Shown: "Shown" is a past tense form of "show": "foreign films are rarely shown at our local theater."
Wander Vs Wonder
Wander : If you idly travel around, you wander. ( Physical activity)
Wonder : If you realize you're lost, you wonder where you are. ( Mind activity, you are wandering in your mind or thoughts)
Rapt Vs Wrapped
When you get deeply involved in a project, you may say you're wrapped up in it; but if you are entranced or enraptured by something you are "rapt," not "wrapped."
The word means "carried away" and is used in expressions like "listening with rapt attention," "rapt expression," and "rapt in conversation."
Throw Away - Phrasal Verbs
source: Twominute English 2013年10月2日

Another meaning is to waste time or money on something, and the result is not positive. The sentences with the expression are highlighted at the end of the video.

0:06 In this lesson, we will learn how to use ‘throw away’.
0:15 Hello, everybody. Today we’re going to talk about the expression ‘throw away’.
0:20 Hi, Andy. Hello, everyone. ‘Throw away’ is a common expression that means to discard something you don’t want, or need, anymore.
0:27 That’s right. Imagine you have an old T-shirt that has a hole in it.
0:33You will never wear this shirt again, so you throw it away. In other words, you put it in a trash can.
0:40 Andy, do we only throw objects away?
0:43 No. Sometimes we use this expression in a figurative way or so.
0:47 For example, when you spend a lot of time or money doing something and the result is not what you want at all,
0:55 you say you throw away your time or money.
1:00 I see…I spent a lot of money on a car that looked new, but never worked. So I can say that I threw my money away.
1:08 Yes, that’s exactly right.
1:10 Ok. I think I get it.
1:12 Let’s take a look at some dialogues with different examples.
1:21 Well, honey, we need to talk about our son.
1:24 I know. He spent all that time and money to become a doctor and now wants to leave everything and become a singer.
1:32 How can he throw away a college education like that?
1:35 I know! We have to talk to him. We need to help him see that this is crazy!
1:41 I talked to him for a long time yesterday, but he just wouldn’t listen to me.
1:45 He said he’s made his decision. I feel like I threw away two hours of my life talking to him.
1:51 No, honey. You did what you had to do. He has to understand that he is throwing away many future opportunities.
2:01You’re right. Let’s talk to him one more time, together.
2:04 Yes. We must at least try.
2:14 Excuse me, sir. I think you dropped this.
2:17 What? Oh, no. I threw it away.
2:21 On the floor? There is a trash can right over there.
2:25 Well, you’re right. I’m in a hurry. I didn’t see the trash can. Thank you.

2:53 Why didn’t you invite him to go with you?
2:56 He doesn’t like football. But I’m glad he didn’t go. Why throw his money away, too?
3:02 You’re right, of course.
3:06 How can he throw away a college education like that?
3:11 I feel like I threw away two hours of my life talking to him.
3:18 He has to understand that he is throwing away many future opportunities.
3:30 Why throw his money away, too?

0:14 Hello, great to see you here.
0:16 From time to time, we call on someone for help, go visit our friends, or ask someone to do something for us.
0:23 In all these contexts, we can use “call on.”
0:26 In this lesson we’ll see some conversations that show us the use of “call on.”
0:31 Practice the lesson by repeating the dialog out loud after hearing it once.
0:35 To increase your vocabulary a bit, remember to check out and practice the vocabulary section at the end.
0:42 Let’s get started now!
0:50 Hey, did you see that the President called on the wealthy countries
0:53 for financial aid after the floods destroyed much of the country's agriculture?
0:58 Called on? What does that mean?
1:01 Oh, called on means a lot of things.
1:03 But in my sentence it means that the president asked for help.
1:07 Okay. I never knew that. So what other things does the phrase “call on” mean?
1:14 It can also mean that you are visiting someone.
1:17 Like in “Since we were in the area, I paid a call on my sister in law”.
1:22 It means you visited your sister in law?
1:25 Yes, that’s right.
1:27 Can “call on” also mean to ask someone to do something, especially to speak in public?
1:34 Like in “I now call on the other party to give their account of what happened”.
1:39 Yes, that’s right. You’ve got it.
1:49 So what did you do on your weekend?
1:51 Nothing much. I was in Beverly Hills, so I called on my best friend Cindy and we hung out.
1:56 That’s great. My friend called on me on Saturday, too.
2:00 What did you guys do?
2:01 We went to the amusement park.
2:03 It must’ve been fun.
2:05 Yeah, it was.
2:13 Hey, I heard you moved to another house!
2:16 Yeah. I did.
2:18 Did you do it by yourself?
2:20 No, no. I called on my friends to help me pack my stuff and to move it all to the new place.
2:27 Oh, that’s good. You could’ve called on me, though.
2:31 Yeah. I was gonna call on you but then I thought you’d be busy.
2:36 No, I wasn’t. It’s okay; next time you can definitely call on me anytime you need help.
2:44 Thanks. I hope I won’t be moving again soon!
2:54 Is your work done?
2:56 I thought it was, but they’re calling on me to do even more.
2:59 Haven’t you done enough work for them?
3:02 I’ve done some, but they’re calling on everyone to do more work, not just me.
3:06 Oh, that’s too bad. But you’ll still manage to complete it.
3:12 Yes, I will.
3:13 That’s fantastic.
3:15 But next time maybe you could call on Robin or someone else, so that you can work together.
3:23 Okay, that would be a good idea.
3:35 Helping by giving money is financial aid.
3:37 Some students get financial aid from their college to help them pay for school.
3:41 Lending your friend money is a kind of informal financial aid.
3:50 Agriculture is the growing of crops for food and other products.
3:53 Without agriculture none of us would eat.
4:00 An amusement park is a place people go to be entertained with rides, food, and games.
4:06 Disneyland is a very large amusement park, but you might have a smaller one in your own town.

* We use phrases 1 and 2 when something has prevented a disaster. We follow the phrases with a clause that describes the fortunate action or circumstance. They are both fairly informal.
1. It's a good thing (that)…
Example: You visit your friends who met with an accident but by God’s grace didn’t get hurt. You’d say “It’s a good thing that they were not hurt. We must thank God for it.”
2. It's just as well...
Example: It's beginning to rain - it's just as well that we brought our umbrellas.
* We use phrases 3 and 4 when we are retelling a story and they are followed by some aspect of the situation that prevented a disaster from happening.
3. Fortunately/ Luckily,
4. As luck would have it...
Example: We ran out of petrol on the way home, but as luck would have it, we were very near a garage.
* Phrase 5 is often used to react to a lucky story that somebody has told you. You can also use it to comment on your own good fortune at the time it occurs.
* We use phrases 5, 6 and 7 in a similar way to phrases 1, 2 and 3. For example 'It's lucky you weren't wearing your best clothes when you fell over'
5. That was a stroke of luck.
Example : Unless I have a stroke of luck, I'm not going to finish this report by tomorrow.
6. It's lucky...
Example: I wasn’t wearing my best clothes when I fell over.
7. It's very/most fortunate (that)...
Example: It’s most fortunate that Phil was driving up to Manchester that evening and gave me a lift.
* We use phrase 8 when we have experienced a near disaster that was only just avoided.
8. That was a close thing / near miss.
Example : A situation in which an accident or unpleasant situation almost happened and was only just avoided I managed to brake just in time but it was a near miss.
* Phrases 9 and 10 are used to say that you think another person has been lucky. 'You jammy bastard' is very informal and only used with people who you know very well.
9. It must be your lucky day! (formal)
A particular day or moment in one's life when one experiences extremely good luck, fortune, or favour.
Example : Sir, today is your lucky day: you've been selected for an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas!
10.You lucky thing! / You jammy bastard (very informal)
Example: "The jammy bastard!"

0:12 Hello viewer!
0:13 “Get away with” is a verb that may have multiple meanings.
0:17 Most commonly we use it when we escape without being punished or caught while doing some mischief.
0:23 Didn’t we all do something in our childhood that we got away with?
0:28 There are many other contexts too.
0:30 This lesson will show you how to use “get away with.”
0:34 Practice the dialog by pausing the video anywhere you want and repeating the lines.
0:40 Also have a look at the vocabulary section at the end.
0:45 Let’s get started then.
0:53 So, you good at using verbs like to “get away with?”
0:56 I think so. Using that type of verb is easy. You just need to know how and when to use it.
1:03 Okay, for example?
1:04 The phrase “get away with” means to not get caught or punished for doing something wrong.
1:10 For example - the student said that she had studied for the test but she didn't.
1:16 She got a good grade anyway, so she got away with it.
1:21 So in this sentence it means that she should have studied but it turned out all right anyway?
1:26 Yes, that’s right
1:28 Okay. So, if I say “the students would love to get away with skipping school.”
1:35 It means to skip school and not get caught, right?
1:38 You've used it correctly, but don’t ever encourage children to skip school!
1:43 I would never! Okay, now I will give you another example.
1:48 Do you think he could get away with using cheap gas in his car?
1:52 That’s a good example. My guess is that he couldn’t!
1:57 Yeah! Okay, now let’s watch some conversations with more examples.
2:08 Hey, did you hear about Jack?
2:10 What is it?
2:12 He stole thousands of dollars from our company and then he just left town.
2:17 Whoa! Really? And they didn’t catch him?
2:21 No, he got away with it completely so far. I think he's even left the country.
2:26 Oh man. Not many people have gotten away with stealing that much money.
2:31 The police will find him.
2:34 Well... at least for now he's got away with it...
2:37 but it's been almost a month and no one has found him yet.
2:40 That’s really sad for the owner. He lost a lot of money.
2:46 Yes, that’s true.
2:54 Hey. Did you find Sean yesterday?
2:56 Yeah. He was rushing towards his house and I found him then.
3:00 You found him?
3:01 Yes. He thought he could get away with not doing any work.
3:05 He has done that before, you know.
3:07 What?
3:08 You know, like getting away with not completing his work.
3:11 This is the first time he was caught and now there’ll be consequences.
3:15 I don’t let anyone get away with not getting their work done.
3:18 You’re the boss, you know it!
3:20 I do know it!
3:30 Cheap has two meanings in English.
3:33 One meaning is something that costs less money than something else. Hamburgers are cheaper than steak.
3:40 The other meaning is low quality.
3:43 You may not want a cheap coat because it’ll fall apart before the winter is over.
3:53 Consequences means results, good or bad.
3:56 There are consequences to everything you do.
3:59 You should always think of the consequences before doing or saying anything.
