Being a Personal tutor

Managua, Nicaragua Autumn 2013

Hello everyone. This past month I began about when they get stuck on those working for Wall Street English as a Per- grammar structures, difficult pronunciasonal Tutor. So far it has been an amazing experience. I found many aspects to centers, starting from the open environment building design. It is fun, colorful, modern and inviting. Students and staff come across each other continuously, and this provides great opportunities to tions or feelings of ineptitude, hopelessness or lost cause? Being there to supet of my job that continuously reminds me that in language learning you cant separate our emotional makeup from our capacity to learn. So, as a tutor, I make it a goal to think of each student as an indi-

be different from most language learning port, encourage and assist them is a fac-

HOW`S YOUR STUDY RHYTHM?

Old Words that Survived by Getting Fossilized in Idioms

English has changed a lot in the last several hundred years, and there are many words once used that we would no longer recognize today. For whatever reason, we started pronouncing them differently, or stopped using them entirely, and they became obsolete. There are some old words, however, that are nearly obsolete, but we still recognize because they were lucky enough to get stuck in set phrases that have lasted across the centuries. Here are 12 lucky words that survived by getting fossilized in idioms. 1. WEND You rarely see a "wend" without a "way." You can wend your way through a crowd or down a hill, but no one wends to bed or to school. However, there was a time when English speakers would wend to all kinds of places. "Wend" was just another word for "go" in Old English. The past tense of "wend" was "went" and the past tense of "go" was "gaed." People used both until the 15th century, when "go" became the preferred verb, except in the past tense where "went" hung on, leaving us with an outrageously irregular verb. 3. EKE If we see "eke" at all these days, it's when we "eke out" a living, but it comes from an old verb meaning to add, supplement, or grow. It's the same word that gave us "eke-name" for "additional name," which later, through misanalysis of "an eke-name" became "nickname." 4. SLEIGHT "Sleight of hand" is one tricky phrase. "Sleight" is often miswritten as "slight" and for good reason. Not only does the expression convey an image of light, nimble fingers, which fits well with the smallness implied by "slight," but an alternate expression for the concept is "legerdemain," from the French lger de main," literally, "light of hand." "Sleight" comes from a different source, a Middle English word meaning "cunning" or "trickery." It's a wily little word that lives up to its name.
