What a coincidence that is!! I've just explained that the word BIRD in England also means GIRL, and that was the piece of information that really drew a long WOW from everyone in class!! Excellent idea to put that on, Sérgio.

Context, context, context...that's all I will say about the high degree of subjectivity of words.

I guess learning new words and their meanings is one of the most incredible things about a foreign language. It's never over!

It happened to me when I talked to the coordinator from Natal-RN when she asked me "vc pode esperar um pedaço?". I found really funny this meaning.

A good investigation is = a good speech! That's it!

The curiosity is the key for learning. We really need to feed our stds with the importance of meaning. Great video!

That's really true. Investigating vocabulary leads not only the students, but also the teacher to different nuances of the language, providing new horizons to speech.

If you think of the French word Garçon, we find an international version of pia (menino), because waiters used to be young boys! Cheers! T

Investiganting words is finding new worlds, really!
