Idiom for the Day

……count your chickens before they hatch………

It’s fun to hope that you will have great rewards in the future, but sometimes these hopes do quite work out. If you figure out that your work will pay off before you finish the job, you are counting your chickens before they hatch. People who count their chickens before they hatch are often disappointed.

I was very disappointed when I didn’t win the lottery, but I learned that I should not count my chickens before they hatch.

Language Communicator is a great place to learn English as a Second Language. Go to www.languagecomunicator.com to start your first lesson. Your first language starts day one shortly after birth and is effortless at first. You literally listen and learn. Good news – no one expects an infant to respond with words so you can cry a little to get what you want while you learn English as a Second Language. At the early stages, an infant doesn’t worry about grammar and structure, but they learn it anyway. An infant learns their first language without terms like nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives. But they learn how these words fit into these structures and they hear the different types of words. Infants don’t have to learn while sitting in an uncomfortable chair or staring at a computer screen. They learn English as a first language while snug as a bug in their cribs. Learn English as a Second Language with appropriate visuals on the website with a different kind of ease. For more information contact the webmaster info@languagecommunicator.com.

Learn English as a Second Language and Keep the Time Tight

englishasasecondlanguage — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:19:14 +0000

Language Communicator is the website for the best place to learn English as a Second Language especially for those who want to communicate effectively. The tenses of the verbs are designed to communicate time. The speaker or the writer of English wants to tell their listeners or their readers when an action is performed. Did the writer run yesterday or will they run tomorrow? Did the speaker drive today earlier or are they driving presently? Sometimes the smallest change in a word can communicate a wealth of information. Add ed to walk and the time changes to the past. I walk changed to I walked – the ed changes the time from the present to the past. Speakers and writers want to understand the tenses well so they can communicate effectively when they write or speak. Go to www.languagecommunicator.com to try out this great site that will help students understand and use the tenses properly. Further information can be obtained by going to info@languagecommunicator.com.
