Bring and Take
Bring and Take are two verbs which cause problems for many students. I believe this is because there are so many idiomatic expressions which use bring and take. At the request of my student, Monica, I have made this English Activation Pack to settle your doubts once and for all. Work your way through the theory part and then activate your English with the Activation Quizzes. The Activation Quizzes contain many sentence transformation, or key word transformations exercises. The English Activation Pack also has embedded audio throughout to help with your pronunciation.

Bring, Fetch, Get, Take
I’d like to thank Monica, in Italy, for requesting this lesson. The verbs, bring, fetch, get, and take, cause confusion for many students of English.

What you need to do when using these verbs is to consider where the object being moved is in relation to yourself and others.
Buttercup
A lot of jokes in English depend for their humour on the way completely different words can sound identical due to the speech features we find in spoken British English. This is one of those jokes. Listen to the joke and then do the exercises so that you can learn about why it is so funny. English humour can be difficult for non-native English speakers. This is why simple English jokes are a very good way of teaching vocabulary, and why I’ve chosen a very simple joke for this lesson. I’m not going to write the joke here as it depends for its humour entirely on a homophone.&nb...
Butterfly - An Experiment in AI
GPT-3 is a neural network created by OpenAI which uses an autoregressive language model and deep learning to produce text that is indistinguishable from that produced by a human being. I decided to pose a question to the GPT-3 AI to test its capabilities. The question I posed to the AI was: What does it feel like to be a butterfly? The answer I got back was interesting, to say the least. I used Amazon Polly, another neural net AI, to read aloud the GPT-3 AI’s answer. I then fed the audio file into an AI animation software package which created a recognisable character that could pr...

The Britlish Library is a free online resource funded entirely by the creator, Richard, and Britlish Patrons. The Britlish Library is not a subscription-based service, and there is no intrusive advertising on site. All users, regardless of whether they become Patrons, have access to the same materials and resources on the site. I believe that the Britlish Library is a valuable resource that should be accessible to all, regardless of their ability to contribute financially. My goal is to provide a sustainable and free platform for language learners and teachers worldwide, and I hope that Britlish Patrons will continue to support me in this mission. A big thank you to the Britlish Patrons who have generously given €27.00 during the past 30 days in support of the Britlish Library.
