Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: let it slide I’m surprised to see you here. Why? Your mom was SO mad at you the other day. Oh, she always lets me slide! I’m her angel^^ A lot of ESL learners (English as a Second Language) start learning English by studying vocabulary and grammar. That's "modern Education"!! Some students do well, but most hate it! As an English teacher for almost THIRTY years (wow!!!), I have found this to be a problem. That's why I decided to teach "real English". English that "doesn't follow the rules". Pronunciation that doesn't "follow the rules". Following the rules is REALLY important, but when learning a foreign language, you discover native speakers are ALWAYS breaking the rules!
