Hello, I’m Simona and I’m from Prague, Czech Republic. I remember once this story, which was quite embarrassing initially, but quite funny now. I came to England and my English was very, very limited.

POUČENÍ • Slovník je důležitou pomůckou, ale musí to být dobrý slovník a přiměřený schopnostem uživatele!

And I met this nice English man, who liked to have lots of conversations with me. As we met about third time, I wanted to describe myself slightly better. A couple days before I was browsing my dictionary – my Czech-English dictionary – and I found this word which I thought would really describe me well. So when I met him, I announced to his surprise: “Michael, I’m a real goer”.

He looked at me blankly for a while and then started to laugh. And I wasn’t sure why, because my dictionary just said it’s a person who goes to a lot of parties, parties a lot and likes company. But as he explained, this word is a slightly old-fashioned slang word for easy girl, girl who would go with everybody.

I have to say he didn’t take it against me. In fact, I later on married him and we’ve been married for 8 years now.

WHEN YOU LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A PROPER DICTIONARY. IT SHOULD EXPLAIN HOW EACH WORD OR PHRASE SHOULD BE PRONOUNCED, IT SHOULD ALSO TELL YOU WHAT PART OF SPEECH A GIVEN WORD IS, THEN A DEFINITION AND IDEALLY EXAMPLES OF USE.
