It's official: another year has rolled around again. January is traditionally the time of year we take stock of the months ahead and set our priorities for the coming semester. Not wanting to mess with tradition, we present a list of some of the biggest events we at Queens are most looking forward to in 2012.http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=127http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=129http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlogQueensSchoolOfEnglish/~3/x6YK9uaHk54/index.phpBlogWed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000So I'm leaving Poland to go to Sri Lanka - I'm off in just one week!

You have the best chef, beautiful decor, experienced waiters. You've spared no expense on it. What could possibly go wrong? Let's have a look at the menu... Oh dear. What's 'Salad a firm's own make'? Or, 'beef rashers beaten up in the country people's fashion'? You didn't bother to get your menu proof-read.http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=123http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=119http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlogQueensSchoolOfEnglish/~3/-_hbnonMvVQ/index.phpBlogWed, 07 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000You probably read about the incidents in London over the summer - typically referred to as 'riots'. This was a unique and almost unprecedented explosion of violence. Unique because London, indeed maybe no other city had experienced riots like this before. Looking back over the events a number of factors are clear.http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=119http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=114http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlogQueensSchoolOfEnglish/~3/re8yFDatmuk/index.phpBlogWed, 08 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000As I have travelled the globe, I have been told the British have a 'specific sense of humour'. I think that we have created some of the best comedy shows in the world, but sadly most people know us only for Mr Bean, or maybe Monty Python. Let's have a look at some British comedies you may not know, but I totally recommend.http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=114http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=113http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlogQueensSchoolOfEnglish/~3/V58g9QhZjTU/index.phpBlogWed, 18 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000So, I've just become a father - happy days! But with an English daddy and a Polish mummy people often ask - "What language will he speak?" Our answer is obvious to us - both, in fact, why not get him studying Mandarin as well? - but I was surprised when I encountered people who felt little Robert ought to be raised speaking one language only. http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=113http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=112http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlogQueensSchoolOfEnglish/~3/8jqMXGiI4po/index.phpBlogWed, 13 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000Have you ever watched a traditional Kiwi, Indian or Hawaiian dance? I'm told that within these dances are gestures which contain hidden meanings and to understand the dances you must understand these gestures. Your teachers 'performance' in class is very similar. They will do and say things which have a purpose and by understanding this you can learn how to be a more effective student.http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=112http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=110http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlogQueensSchoolOfEnglish/~3/MQTKkaejQV0/index.phpBlogWed, 16 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000To say learning English is a challenge would be something of an understatement. Grammatical rules can be complicated and difficult to remember how and when we should use them - is it really necessary to know all the tenses? Beyond the grammar, we have the vocabulary - the 'Oxford English Dictionary' lists about 615,000 words, but this does not include technical or scientific terms which would extend the total into the millions. And then we have to know to be polite and use formal language when necessary and, oh yes, there's the small complication of the differences between spelling and pronunciation. What's a learner of English to do? Well, I'm going to give you a few pointers and some advice which you might find useful when trying to get to grips with this maddeningly wonderful language.http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=110http://www.queensenglish.com.pl/index.php?m=139&agid=107http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BlogQueensSchoolOfEnglish/~3/SKoqKg1f5MQ/index.phpBlogFri, 18 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0000So, you've been studying English for a while now.
