English is crazy!

Easter is over, and we're going back into class for a few days before the long May break. Isn't it good to live in Poland? ;)
To boost your English-learning motivation a bit, I am posting a short clip about the "wonders" of the English language. If people tell you it's easy, make them watch the video! You can try and watch it a few times to catch as many tricky bits as you can. Don't try to tell me you haven't been surprised by at least some of these pronunciations! ;) Try to remember a few (write them down?) and we'll discuss them in class.



BTW, I've just found out about a new English word: to phub. Do you know what it means? If not, I hope you are curious enough to check it in our favorite dictionary. If you are a careful enough reader, you'll also learn the origin of the word. Have you been phubbed recently? Do you ever do it yourself? I admit I sometimes do, at home, when we sit at out kitchen table. But I try not to.
