To Non-Native English Speakers: How do you practice your english speaking? [on hold]












-1















I'm an international grad student, and my english is like OK but not too good. Sometimes I'm afraid my thoughts aren't delivered correctly to others at workshops and poster sessions due to my pretty heavy accent. How do you all practice your english speaking if you do at all?

  • As starting points, I'd recommend Stephen Fry's narration of Harry Potter for BrE and Nick Offerman's narration of Tom Sawyer for (slightly dated) AmE. They have a diverse set of child and adult characters (who are all not necessarily "eloquent"), and the narrators are perfect.

Origin of the phrase “under your belt”?

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"?
