Being back in London has its advantages for you the student, as it means that I, your teacher, is back in the thick of her mother tongue.
Today listening to the Radio i heard the word rave being used and it got me thinking.
The word was used to talk about how people spoke enthusiastically about a movie:
"Everybody raves about that film"
As a noun:
"the film received raves"
As a adjective:
The flim received rave reviews"
Other uses include:
"She kept raving on about the shop keeper"
In this sentence the person is speaking wildly and irrationally about the shop keeper.
"They raved all night at the rave"
The verb in this sentence is the action of dancing and the noun is a type of party with electronic music.
"That bloke is a raving idiot"
A complete idiot
Thanks for following xx

So long (then),
Farewell
If you expect to see them in the near future you can say:
Catch you later (catchya later),
See ya, or see you soon,
Bye for now,
See you later, or see you later aligator, followed by the response in a while crocodile
Ta-ta,
Ta-ra,

The other day I was planning a surprise for someone and some interesting phrases came up for keeping a secret. That's right, in English we keep secrets from people when we don't want them to find out, and we keep secrets for people when they don't want you to share information. Anyway, back to the phrases you can ask someone to keep a secret for you by saying:
Mum's the word
For example:
I'm planning a surprise party for Rene, so mum's the word.
(If you would like to see the origin of the phrase then follow the link below).
And they can respond by saying:
My lips are sealed
For example:
Don't worry my lips are sealed
To be sealed means to be closed or shut tightly.
Enjoy your new phrases!!
