Avoid Return to Square One When You Learn a Second Language

Idiom for the Day

……back to square one...……

Only losers have to go back to square one, so don’t let it happen to you. If you are only on square two, it’s not so bad, but if you have made a great deal of progress, going back to square one is definitely lamentable. Going back to square one means starting over again from the beginning.

Synonyms for the Day

Some new synonyms for the day – humble, modest, tolerant

Examples: Although she won a Nobel Prize, Dr. Smith is very humble.
The speaker was modest when detailing his biography.
My uncle is tolerant of average people even though he is most distinguished.
