Building webpages in Japanese is a lot of fun. By 'fun' I mean it is challenging. It is through doing this I learnt the Japanese word '
bakemoji'. Bakemoji describes the strange characters a webpage shows when it cannot display Japanese (or another language).
This is because computers use different codes to display characters. Without being
geeky, this means that if your computers code is different to the code the webpage is written in...BAKEMOJI!...

Hello Everyone,
It's Alex from e-Learning. Just a short message today:
The best way to study is a little bit everyday. 10 minutes everyday is better than 1 hour every Sunday. You'll find you improve much more quickly if you do this.
And don't give up! Slow and steady wins the race! If you pump enough energy into learning English you will succeed in the end.

I had a conversation recently with one of my students about the differences in
British and
American English.
Often students have said that they can hear one type of English easily and not the other.
This is not to worry because often British cannot hear Americans clearly and Americans cannot hear British clearly.
One reason for this I have noticed is a single very strong
pronunciation difference...
Knowing this makes both dialects easier to hear and also change your pronunciation to sound British or American.

In some ways
English is like
boxing. People often ask specifically how they can improve their English and I often tell them this analogy.
