"These expressions in their variety are meant to help you enrich your spoken and written repertoire. It is not really a handicap to learn some of them by heart on condition that you frequently use them while talking to your classmates or friends or even some Englishspeaking people. Gradually those expressions become yours and you will use them normally and naturally. The more you practice them, the better you master them. Take it for granted that the language is first and foremost a means of communication. The more you practise it the more you become perfect. Finally, remember that the world would understand and appreciate what you say if you said it in the right way."-- Mubarak Abdessalami
