First question this week comes from Silas.

I'd like to know the meaning of the expression.

Okay, this is a bit of recent slang Weird flex, but okay.

Focuses in on the meaning of the word flex.

So if you are interested in, like, health or like muscle training or anything like that, you might know the verb to flex.

So to flex is what we do when we want to show off a muscle.

We have been training, So when we flex a muscle, we put energy into the muscle to make the muscle like stand out.

We want it to look bigger like we want to show off that muscle.

So when we flex a muscle, we're trying to show it off.

We're like, excited about that thing, or we're proud about it or something like that.

So flex here in this expression, Weird Flex does not refer to muscle.

It doesn't refer to the body, but actually something else that the speaker or the writer is trying to show off.

So in the example of muscles and muscle training, like the person who wants to show off wants to show their muscles.

But when we use the expression weird flex, someone is trying to show off something that seems strange.

And then we add, but OK, at the end to mean, I don't really understand, But all right, so to give an example of this, if I on Twitter, right, like I spent $3000 on socks this month, who and I talk about how excited I am?

I'm like showing off that I spent $3000 on socks.

Someone might respond to me Weird flex, but okay, so that means like it's strange that you want to show off that you spend $3000 on socks like that's a really strange thing to be excited about, but okay, so to give another example, your friend might tell you something like, I have the biggest collection of rocks in my whole neighborhood and you might say, Weird Flex, but okay.

So again, it's like, That's a strange thing that you want to show off, but okay, Whatever it is like, it's not hurting anybody.

It's just a little bit weird that you want to show that off or you want to brag or boast about that thing.

Thanks very much for this interesting question.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

Next question comes from Riggins Riggins.

But due to a lack of practice, I've kind of lost my touch because I'm sick and tired of the learning process.

So I'd like to know how to keep my English up.

First, I'm sure that you're not the only person like I lose motivation.

I would say that if you are having trouble keeping your motivation up, you should try looking for a different way to practice or a different way to use English.

So, for example, if there's a hobby that you have in your native language, you could try doing that in English.

Or maybe there's a book or a movie that you are really interested in.

And you want to understand that in English.

I would suggest trying to find something that's not like a traditional textbook or it's not a traditional way of learning, like going to class and doing work sheets and that kind of thing I would suggest actually trying to use English in your everyday life to, like, do your work or to study something or to accomplish a hobby.

Maybe you make a new friend who can speak only English, so I would suggest finding something outside of a traditional learning setting to dio.

I think that that might help you a little bit with your motivation that has helped me a lot in the past.

Actually making friends with people who cannot speak my language has been hugely motivating for me, and I tried to study the vocabulary words that they often talk about on.

I tried to learn from their speech patterns, too, so I would suggest trying to find something to do with other people as much as possible that uses English.

So I hope that this helps you and helps other people with their motivation issues.

It happens to all of us at some point in time, but I hope that these tips can help.

What is the difference between May and can?

Okay, um Historically, May is used to ask for permission.

Can is used to express ability to do something or lack of ability to do something.

So that's the historical use of May and can.

In today's English, however, lots of people use can tow ask for permission to do something We do not, however, use May to talk about ability, so let's take a look at some examples.

So in today's English, he's all refer to the same thing.

They're all requests to use the restroom or to leave early.

Ah, in today's American English, I would say that using may tends to sound a little bit more formal than using can.

If you ever want to be sure to sound polite and to make sure you're communicating clearly, you can use May.

But in most day today conversations we use can.
