Liquid on skin

I thought I would exude some liquid while walking down to get my ID renewed, but I wouldn't have thought I'd sweat like a pig on ice. The strong coffee and the heat generated by the sun early in the morning were the two contributing factors, I know, but I have to admit, it was mainly due to my low fitness. I had to leave the bank, where I wanted to close one of my accounts, because even the air-conditioned space couldn't do anything about it. It made it worse, actually. Anyway, after returning home, we had a nice lunch - fish fingers with potato and tomato. After devouring the nosh, I drank a coffee and gave Ági a foot massage. 

The English class with Charlette was fantastic. We discussed once again which exam to sit, and we agreed on taking the CPE. I still don't think my English is good enough; however, who am I to question and contradict her opinion and the CELTA qualification? So, the lesson was world champion, and the homework she gave me seemed far too challenging to begin to deal with. I'll have plenty of time to complete it in the next few days.

The DIY frenzy doesn't seem to stop indahauz! Right now, we sacrificed two hours from our lives to install the new curtain and its holder in the bathroom. We are not craftsmen, but we had to learn how to deal with such puny tasks because non of the masters of thread would come to fix them in the foreseeable future and, not to mention, for a reasonable price. Oh, God, will it end sometime?

The final plan

I have a plan, so crazy that it might just work. I checked my books and tried to estimate how to proceed with my preparation, i.e which books should be the first and how to process the units, so the devised schedule is the following: Completing the 'Straight to advanced' and 'Ready for Advanced' books. They consist of 10 lessons and 5 review units each, so if I study intensively, I can finish these books in three-four weeks. Learning by heart the advanced phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocation books. (Plus the 'Don't get me wrong' pocketbook that contains brilliant idioms and collocations.) These books consist of 60 units each, so if I take three lessons per week, I can finish them by the end of August. Completing the 'Destination C1-C2' book. This is the toughest of all the previously listed books, including word formation, idioms, phrasal verbs, grammar, etc. I could go through this book while dealing with the 'Straight to advanced' book si...

53 is the new 35

Nah, I'm just kidding, 53 cannot be 35 in any way. When I first heard this term, fifty is the new forty, I thought something was wrong with my ears. Even the explanation of this locution seemed dodgy. I'm pretty sure that this is a kind of self-hypnosis technique used by those who are unable to accept their age and refuse to take notice of the natural order of things. (It's always weird to see the results of what the scalpel of cosmetic surgeons did to some poor, deluded individuals.) Anyway, I found the tail of the mojo and tried to get it back completely. I completed the homework Charlette had given me a month ago - it wasn't easy to complete, though - and booked some lessons as well. I'm looking forward to these classes. Nevertheless, my mind was struggling tremendously with the homework. My brain is still not as fresh as it used to be, so I won't be surprised if it turns out to be a balderdash. The weather turned freezing. Well, it's not as cold as it is...

Keskiviikko 🇫🇮 Miðvikudagur 🇮🇸

Well, my students seemed to enjoy the class today. After carefully planning the lesson, I came up with a fairly good syllabus about giving directions. I started the class with the previously discussed review section, during which we reviewed some of the vocabulary from the previous lessons. They did a fantastic job translating the Hungarian words into English and vice versa.  We moved on to the new vocabulary section when we completed the list. I brought seven new words - I know I'm supposed to focus on four or five new words, but this is what they'd asked me to do, so I kept my promises - and besides, they knew some of them, the context I provided them with helped them a lot - as well as the eliciting questions - to find out the meaning of each unknown words. Once we completed this section, we moved on to the next chapter: checking the previously learned vocabulary. I created a list with the essential words and expressions and asked them to check the items and tell me what the...
