There are many words that are imitation of sounds we hear in the environment and nature.
Tires screech, horns beep or toot, buttons click and so on.
Each language hears the same things, but expresses them differently in writing and speech.

Onomatopoeia
Today I'm uploading a video that deals with onomatopoeias .

Today I'm uploading part 1 and 2 of "insects".
It's common to call insects - bugs. As you will see, many insects are also pests. Pests make life for humans difficult.
You'll also notice that the word "pests" almost trips me up... there is something unnatural about pronouncing words that end in "sts"...
Thank you for watching.

Today I'm uploading a new video... Prepositions.
A preposition is a word which precedes a noun (or a pronoun) to show the noun's (or the pronoun's) relationship to another word in the sentence. (The word preposition comes from the idea of being positioned before. It is not true to say that a preposition always precedes a noun or a pronoun, but it does most of the time.)
My wife, Grace, is the model and she demonstrates several different important prepositions. I also used an animated character of myself in this video... It's fun to experiment with different techniques while making these videos.
Thank you for watching
