Phrasal Verb #2 – Lash Out At (Someone)
When someone suddenly and unexpectedly speaks to you in an angry way (or yells at you), they are lashing out at you. For example, if your best friend tends to get angry and impatient when her life is very busy, you could say:
“My best friend always lashes out at people when she’s under a lot of stress.”
It's cristal clear. Never be afraid to speak. Remember we all learn only after we make mistakes.
Alot of students ask me about the accent. Hmm 😏 understand accent has nothing to do with your . Learn to pronounce words properly. Never focus on if you are a beginner. "Pronunciation is the act, or a way, of saying a word. Accent is a mark used to show the stress on a syllable or to pronounce with emphasis."

Why "Hi, how are you" is not actually a question?🤔
I would argue that "hi, how are you?" is not even a question. It is a greeting and you must recognize the difference.
Many people who are new to english speaking upreally think that the person wants to know the details of their life, but in many cases, that is not true.
It depends on your relationship to the person and the location of the interaction.
Check out the following 3 scenarios.👉
Scenario #1: The person is a stranger
You are in an elevator with a neighbor that you have never spoken with or you are being greeted by a server in a restaurant or a clerk in a store.
In these situations, they are really not looking for a detailed answer. They just want to say hello. Keep it short! Here are some things that you can say.
Q: "Hi, how are you?" A: "Doing well, thanks and you?" Q: "Hey how's it going?" A: "Fine, thank you." Q: "Hi, How's everything going today?" A: "Great, thanks." Scenario #2: The person is an acquaintance
An acquaintance is somewhere between a stranger and a friend. This person might be a friend of a friend or they may be a neighbor that you have actually had a few conversations with. They might be a colleague.
For these exchanges they might ask you a little bit more about your life and you can add a little bit more detail.
Q: "Hi, how are things going at work?" A: "Pretty well, thanks. We are working hard on a new project. How about you?" Q: "Hey, how's your summer going?" A: "It's going well. I had a chance to take a vacation last week. How is yours going?" Scenario #3: The person is a friend
When the person is your friend and they ask about your life, they probably actually want to know how your life is going. So feel free to add some details.
Q: "Hey buddy how are things going at your new job?" A: "Well things have been tough. There is so much to learn, but I am trying to catch on quickly. How is school going for you?" Q: "Hey girl, what have you been up to lately?" (note- "Hey girl" is used a lot between women in their teens, twenties, and thirties who are good friends." A: "Not much, staying busy and trying to get out as much as I can.What's going on in your life?

They may be small words, but are highly functional and very important for constructing sentences. As you can see in the first sentence the coordinating conjunctions "but" and “and” were used to link different parts of the sentence. This is the main job of conjunctions. Basically, conjunctions join words, phrases and clauses together.
Conjunctions Are Linking Words
There are three types of conjunctions: Coordinating, Subordinating and Correlative. Each type joins together different parts of a sentence. The chart shown here is a list of some of the most commonly used conjunctions.
Coordinating conjunctions like "and" "nor" or "so" link equal parts of a sentence, be it words, phrases or clauses. For example:
He was late for school, so he took a shortcut.
Her favorite colors were purple and red.
She doesn't like coffee, nor does she like tea.
Subordinating conjunctions such as "because", "since" and "after" link a dependent clause to an independent clause, helping to emphasize the idea of the independent clause. For example:
Because it was raining, we had to cancel the class picnic.
The house was a mess after the crazy party we had last night.
He didn't go skiing any more, since he had the accident.
Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to join equal elements of a sentence together, like "either/or", "such/that" and "not only/but also". For example:
You can have either chocolate or vanilla ice cream.
He not only plays the guitar but also the drums.
Such was his strength that he was easily able to move the fallen tree.
