ERT Saturday Edition

Today is the third class in our current four-class set. We will begin class with our Latin root words. Our grammar unit this week is unit 111.

The phrases of the week are,"once in a blue moon" and "swimming in." Once in a blue moon means that it doesn't happen frequently. For example, "These days I go skiing once in a blue moon." Swimming in refers to a lot of something for example, "I am swimming in homework for my Korean class." 

Our reading material is about mentors. Please be able to explain the vocabulary words. Our listening material is an introduction to the German English accent. We will listen to an interview with BMW CEO, Harald Krüger.
