Learning a new language experience 

Czecść! In this blog, I want to share with you about learning a new language which is Polish, I would like to share you with some tips to learn about a new language and it doesn't have to be Polish. So if you want to want to know about this stick around!

Why I wanted to learn a new language? And why Polish?

Before I wanted to learn a new language I already am bilingual, if you don't know whats a bilingual is its a person who can speak two languages fluently. Which is my mother tongue Indonesian and English, I speak Indonesian and English at school and at home, I speak Indonesian and a little English at home.

I've always wanted to learn a new language since I was year 6, learning a third language can be very beneficial such as increase your decision-making skills, improved memory, and many other things. Oh yeah! I want to learn polish language is because Poland is my second favourite country, I like the history, the places and much other stuff. The other beneficial thing that not many people learn polish, in fact around 50 million people speak Polish as their first language, so not that many people speak this language so it's unique to learn. Poland is a Slav country  (a group of peoples in central and eastern Europe speaking Slav languages) so when you master polish you can easily learn another Slavic country such as Russia.

Hard Times learning a new language

Learning Polish is very hard in fact polish is one of the difficult languages in the world, for it has hard but I like challenging my self, polish is also hard for native English speakers to learn because of its pronunciation, for example, Dziękuję, difficult grammar and unique alphabet.

Tips

- When learning polish language I recommend you should know other Slavic cousins

- Use an app such as Dualingo and many other learning stuff
- Practice everyday
- Watch tutorial videos about the polish language
- Learning a new language comes from hearing it so watch movies or cartoons about polish

the most important thing is to have fun. Make sure you're learning the language is because you want to learn it, and no one is pressuring you. make sure the advantages that came with this and make sure you use them well. Good and luck and HAVE FUN!!!!! yeah...

5 popular idioms You can use

As you learn more and more about English, you may feel confused when you see odd phrases that just don’t make sense. One of your friends may say, “It’s raining cats and dogs!”. When you look up at the sky, however, you can’t see any domesticated pets, only water!

These phrases are called “idioms”. Idioms are phrases (groups of words) that have a hidden meaning which isn't clear when reading the words literally. They might seem baffling or random to you, but most idioms were born hundreds of years ago, and have slowly become part of everyday English speech.

1. Break a Leg

When I first heard about the sentence, I literally don't have a clue what does the sentence mean. But when I find out the meaning of the sentence, the sentence does not literally mean ask you to break a leg. The sentence means good luck, at first I was also wondering why does it have to be "break a leg"??! People say it because the term "break the leg appears to come from the belief that one ought not to utter the words 'good luck' to an actor. by wishing someone bad luck, it is supposed that the opposite will occur.

2. Raining cats and dogs

When I first heard about this I'm confused about what the sentence means, but when I find out the meaning of the idiom its literally not raining cats and dogs in the sky. The idiom means Heavy rain I was also wondering about why the sentence has to be raining cats and dogs?! But also maybe your thinking cats and dogs isn't that heavy why can we name it "its raining elephants"? Well it's stated that in the 17th Century people throw their waste in the streets just like that so the big cities were a mess between all that waste there were animals living and don't get scared they die there as well, unfortunately, there was no one to clean up the waste so when it started to rain, no-no like rain a lot. Everything would wash away including those dead animals and many of them are cats and dogs. So when people see heavy rain they would say "its raining cats and dogs".

3.  Piece of cake 

Well, I think this idiom everybody knows and pretty easy to understand. My prediction of the idiom is also right. The idiom "piece of cake" means something that's simple to accomplish. if a school assignment is a piece of cake, it's so easy that you will barely have to think about it. ... The Americanism Cakewalk used to mean "something easy," came first, in the 1860's - piece of cake wasn't use until 1936.

4. Hit the hay 

At first, it seems like the person saying this really wants to punch some hay. but it really just means that they're really tired and want to go to sleep.

5. Kill two birds with one stone

Don't worry, we're not actually killing any innocent birds here! It actually means when you kill two birds with one stone, a single action knocks out two task or responsibilities--accomplish two different things at the same time.
