Hi everyone!  Well, its a *sweltering* hot summer...the word "sweltering" means, "hot and sweaty" or "hot and wet" or "very hot and very humid"--the word "humid" refers to the amount of moisture in the air--as are most summers in my "neck of the woods", which is New Jersey. 

(The phrase "neck of the woods" means "area" or "region"--if you tell someone you are from New Jersey and they say, "So how are things in your neck of the woods" they are asking you how things are in New Jersey and you could talk about the Yankees or the Jets--American football teams--or our governor--Phil Murphy or our ex- Chris Christie--or whatever the case may be.   Or you could say, "the heat here is brutal, absolutely sweltering--how are things out by you?")

Anyhow.   I just want potential students to know that I am now accepting students for Fall.   My rates are reasonable and I will travel in person to your location or work via Skype.   For an example of a lesson, with a student of mine named Sergey--take a look at this video.   There is a bit of American profanity at the beginning; Sergey wanted to learn some "street talk".  I can teach that, I can teach American formal or corporate language--whatever your English needs are.   For more information, give me a call at (732) 807-5424 OR check out my Accent Reduction and English Training Website or my American Idiom of the Day Twitter Feed.


All right?  All right.  Hope to hear from you and meanwhile, stay cool!
