About Me

My photo
After living in Portugal for 15 years and teaching English in various capacities there, including at the University of Aveiro, I moved back to the United States in 2019. Returning for our church was the best decision we have ever made and God has been so good to us. Reading the Bible everyday and trying to keep the commandments of Jesus are my priorities, along with loving my family and all the people God has put into my life. Helping people is something I enjoy doing, and meeting the individual needs of students who want to learn English is important to me.

Idioms

Full ahead (short for full steam ahead) (0:45)-we are going to make the ship go as fast as we can.  The ship was powered by steam, and they would have to heat the water as much as they could to create as much steam as they could, for the engine to be run at full capacity.  For more information on the engine of the Titanic click here.
Put your backs into it (0:46)- Work as hard as you can, with all the strength you have.
