We hope the meaning of these words are crystal clear! Are you swamped at work this week? Are you an affable person? What do you find tedious?

Hi Gérard, everyone !
I have never used the word "swamped" for being very busy. I know that to swamp is to cover a place or thing with a large amount of water and i suppose it's like the French word "débordé"
Interesting isn't it ?

Hi Muriel,
For "to be swamped with...", we also say: "être inondé de... messages".

Did you miss any of our graphics about phrasal verbs related to exercise? Here's our week in review! Challenge: Make a very short story using all of these phrasal verbs. Tomorrow, we'll post a quiz about these phrasal verbs. (Admin is on vacation for a week. Have a great week!)

I was going to the gym to work out and to work off my extra weight when I realized I had to warm up first because I also wanted to try out for a gym degree without passing out.

Although it rained in the morning, the rest of the day was beautiful. In spite of the bad weather in the morning, I went for a run. What's the difference between "in spite of" and "although"? Find out with this [ltr]#AmericanEnglish[/ltr]graphic. What do you sometimes do in spite of bad weather?

Are you bouncing off the walls waiting to know the name of AE Admin's new cat? I'll post the name soon! While you wait, here are some other sayings about enthusiasm and eagerness. Are you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed today?

Do you like to stay in your comfort zone? Or do you often try to get out of your comfort zone? A comfort zone is a place or situation where one feels comfortable, safe, and without stress.

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears" is a famous line in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. Yesterday, we posted about the verbs "lend" and "borrow." Today, learn more about how to use these #verbs with this #AmericanEnglish graphic.

Are you sometimes perplexed by all the different words in English that have similar meanings? Don't get despondent! Here's a graphic that might help you learn new vocabulary. When something makes you furious, what do you do to calm down?
> all the different words in English that have similar meanings
OK I agree.
Don't call them synonyms! As I often state it there're no true synonyms.
I agree that English is very rich; there're oodles of words with close meanings, and EMTs don't know nor use them all.

We admit that we love verb opposites! Review these verbs and then take a short quiz that we will post soon. Share this post if you love learning new verbs in English!
