    Why is HALLOWEEN also written HALLOWE'EN?

    What is an E'EN?

    Is an E'EN an evening? Is an EVENING an EVE?

    How do you PRONOUNCE E'EN and Samhain?

    If you are HALLOWED, what are you?


    Facts, plus a QUIZ for fun!

    The ANSWERS to the QUESTIONS in part 1 video.

    Watch the video, check your answers.

    These were easy questions to get you started.

    A little practice for pre-intermediate/intermediate students!

    If you are an advanced student, please be patient. Absorb the information, listen to the pronunciation, watch video 3, and then try the online quizzes in section 2.... especially the last quiz!



  • Halloween part 38:21

    HALLOWEEN part 3

    More vocabulary: spooky, eerie, creepy.

    And, how come HALLOWE'EN?  Why the apostrophe? We don't usually write it this way now. We're lazy. But the apostrophe helps explain the origin of the word.

    Check out the differences between EVE and EVENING. Are they the same? (the answer is complicated!)

    After watching all 3 videos, please do all 3 mini-tests (in section 2).

    I really hope you liked practicing some English. Don't forget to practice a good English accent, and speak clearly.


    Mimi-tests in next section:

    1. Pre-intermediate/intermediate

    2. Upper intermediate

    3. Advanced/ proficiency
