Latin Tip

Hi, guys:

The post of today, it will be about Latin. It's only a mnemonic rule, so it's easier to you to study one of the pronouns (well, if you have to xD). Here it is:

LATIN
DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS

All the Latin pronouns are (as you know if you are studying or studied the subject) different from each other. They are not like Declensions, which are a bit easier to study. So, maybe a mnemonic rule, will be useful with them. For example this one (is a bit silly but it helped me so much):
HIC, HAEC, HOC: ESTE, ESTA, ESTO
                                                               
                   SINGULAR
                           M               F           N
N. - V.                 Hic            Haec      Hoc
 AC.                Hunc          Hanc      Hoc
    G.                Huius         Huius     Huius
    D.                 Huic          Huic        Huic
 ABL.             Hoc            Hac        Hoc
                    PLULAL
                           M               F           N
N. - V.                    Hi            Hae      Haec
 AC.                    Hos          Has      Haec
G.                  Horum   Harum    Horum
      D.                        His                His        His
 ABL.                His            His        His
For the singular:
(I love) him a lot
(I love) him a lot
Drunk a lot
Uy!
Huit
Oh my(pronounced as mAi) god!
As you can see, the red letters, are the vowels of the demonstrative pronoun.
For the plural:
The plural of the genitive it’s similar to an Egyptian god (Horus); and the plural of the dative and the ablative, are exactly like one of the English determiner (His). I didn’t find other rules  for the rest.

So, see you on the next post.

English Corner !!

Hi guys!! 

How are you? Have you already got plans for the weekend? :)
Today I'm going to start the series of posts that I used to have on my Spanish blog, but because I create this one in English, I thought that it had more sense to put "The English Corner" here. 
I wish that you'll find some useful things here.

To start with, today I'm going to talk about the phrase "As far as I'm concerned...". Sometimes, when you are writing compositions, for example, you're using the same words once, twice...and even more. So, it's always good,having synonymous to those words or phrases. Yesterday, I learnt a new way of saying "In my opinion..." ("As far as I'm concerned"). So, I did a video in which the phrase is used, so that it can be easier to know how to use it. 
Here is the video...
