Category: English Phrase Of The Day
Starting October 25, 2021, I began posting a new series called “English phrase of the day”. As I found out that talking or writing like a native speaker required us to update our vocabulary tremendously, I wrote down these phrases of the day in order to remind me, and you (if possible), of how native people use them in their conversations.
I use simple English to explain every phrase of the day, with a source where I found its definition. I also translate it to Vietnamese (my mother tongue) so that my fellows understand it better. Check back here everyday for a new English phrase of the day. If you have any opinion, please feel free to comment.
Also, please check out my “Quote of the day“ section which is not less interesting.
