Hello, everyone! I hope that you had a nice weekend.

Can you believe that we are already into the third month of 2019? Time flies, especially when you're having fun. 

This week we are looking at Idioms Through Songs. We are beginning with Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and the idiom CRYSTAL CLEAR.

Lyrics: Finally, I can see you crystal clear. (This comes out at the very begining of the song.)

Definition: Perfectly clear. 

Example 1: I can hear you crystal clear. 

Example 2: With these headphones, I can hear the singer crystal clear. 

You can listen to the song at the following link. The lyrics to the song can be found below the video in YouTube.

That's all for today. Thank you for reading! Join us tomorrow for another song and another idiom.

Welcome back and happy Friday, everyone! 

This week's theme has been Portmanteaus. A portmanteau is a word that is a combination of two other words. Today's word is SMOG. 

SMOKE + FOG = SMOG

Definition: Fog combined with smoke and other pollutants. 

Example 1: The smog is much better now. I remember when the whole sky was brown some days. 

Example 2: The smog is worse here in the summer. 

Example 3: To help reduce smog, the government has created strict requirements for new cars with respect to their engine's exhaust. 

That concludes this week's lessons. We hope you enjoyed learning these portmanteaus. Have a great weekend!
