Which one is correct, 'overthinking' or 'over thinking'? Thank you :)

April 29, 2015

If you're talking about the word that means "thinking about something too much or for too long," it's one word: overthinking. ✌

What's the meaning of "do the math"

April 29, 2015

We say "do the math" when we want someone to figure out something that is really obvious.

Nan: Hey, why did the value of SM Entertainment's stock fall sharply last week?

Henry: Do the math: it had something to do with Tao.

Nan: Oh ... right.

what is the meaning of "here's my 2 cents" thanks 😊

April 29, 2015

It means "Here is my opinion" or "Here is what I think."

Henry: "Tokyo Ghoul" and "Tokyo Ghoul:re" are much more interesting than "Shingeki no Kyojin."

Peter: Here's my two cents: neither of them is as good as "One Piece."

Henry: Agreed.

(Even though "Here ARE my two cents" is grammatically correct, the idiom is "Here's my two cents.")

What is simple definition of the word "Redemption" thank you

April 29, 2015

"Redemption" is now primarily used to mean "forgiveness," "salvation," or "making up for a past mistake."

A redemption story involves someone who has done something horrible, evil, or shameful in the past and then works really hard to fix or pay for his mistakes.

A very simple example is this: Let's say that a striker missed two penalty kicks in the first half of the Champions League Final, and because of that, his team trailed 0–2 at half-time. He would gain REDEMPTION if he scored a hat-trick (three goals) in the second half and led his team to victory.

April 29, 2015

"Midst" = in the middle of something, so an example would be "A fight broke out in the midst of the crowd."

Here are some other examples:

- We are in the midst of making books, T-shirts, zines, stickers, and coffee mugs.
- Our neighbors are in the midst of a divorce.

How can I easily memorize words and their meanings? Tips?

April 29, 2015

We find that the best way to memorize words is to use them in sentences. For example, let's say that Peter learned the word "mendacious" (lying, deceitful, dishonest). He would immediately write a sentence such as "Don't listen to mendacious people who try to trick you, Henry" and text it to Henry. He might call Nan later that day and say, "Nan, don't you hate mendacious people that always make up lies and excuses?" The following day, he might use the word in an email to someone. After doing that, Peter would have memorized the word for life.

There are some words that are easy to make mnemonics (memory-aiding devices/tricks) for. We have made a list of some of our favorite mnemonics. You can find them here: http://bit.ly/1rINXnR

We've also attached a picture of one for "inexorable" (unstoppable), which was submitted to us by one of our fans.

How can I improve my English speaking skills if I have no one to talk to?

April 29, 2015

One easy and effective trick is to borrow/buy comic books or English-translated manga and read each character's lines out loud. Try to speak in each character's voice (the way you imagine it to be).

Using comic books and manga is really effective for improving speaking skills because 99% of comic books and manga is made up of dialogue (conversations that characters have with one another). Therefore, it's easy to learn idioms, slang, vocabulary, and understand the flow of conversations.
