12 Collocations with the Preposition IN ?? - Learn English with Harry Hi there, welcome back to Harrys English grammar lessons where Im trying to help you with the improving your overall English. So what are we going to talk about today? Well, were going to talk about collocations and in this case were using collocations with the preposition in. I N. So it can be used in many different situations.We can talk about time or periods of time, like in a month, uh, or in a particular month, like in December or in January, whatever it might be at the moment where in September just and were coming into October or it can be about a specific thing like a space.So you can find it in a box, you can find it in a drawer or you can find it in a wardrobe, a cupboard, wherever that might be.Or you might just be in your mind, youre just thinking about it and it doesnt really exist.Okay. So Ive got lots of that, these options for you and I go through them as I usually do one by one and Id give you some examples to help you. And these are really good because Ive selected these specifically for those who are practising  your written skills. They can be used in writing.You know, we have to practice our oral skills cause thats important and its about the communication. But in todays world, you know, were texting, were sending SMSs . We’re using Whats app, emails, whatever it might be. So we need to really practise our written English as well.So were going to go through these, as I said one by one with hopefully some good examples for you. 12 Collocations with the Preposition In Don't keep this to yourself, tell the world 12 Collocations with the Preposition In So the first one is IN ADDITION TOUsually in addition to is followed by the -ING format of the verb.In addition to writing, I would also like you to concentrate on something else.In addition to working for me, youre also going to have to report to my assistant. So you were using the -ING after that. So in addition to means extra additional work.   So in addition to means extra things that you have to do, in addition to.It is quite formal and also when were talking to people in spoken English, we might not always use it. But as I said to you, very important in your written English because we tend to be a little bit more formal when were writing.The next one  again is a little bit formal.  And again very specific for you practising  your written English IN ANSWER TO.So you often see this at the top of an email at the top of a letter when somebody introduced themselves they say:Well, in answer to your query of such and such a date.In answer to the question that you raised in our last m eeting In answer to the letter you sent me last week So it is very, very formal. So in answer to followed then with a reference to whatever the particular question that was raised. And the person in answer to is going hopefully to give you that particular answer.And the next one is IN ANY CASEIn any case, not necessarily specifically for writing. So somebody will use this in the verbal communication with you. In any case usually means, well, Ive told you about that, but this is what I think.And the next one, short IN BRIEF.In brief means, well, let me just summarize something. So at the end of a meeting, you have the people sitting around the table and you say, well, look in brief, this is what we need to do.  So thats in brief, keep something very short as opposed to the next one, which is IN DETAIL.So if you wanted to talk to somebody but in detail, then you go through it step by step, line by line. So they make sure that you make sure that they understand everything.  When we sta rt the meeting we might go into detail about last month meeting or the sales figures that werent so good or the business plan for the next year or the budget for the next year.  So you want to go through those things in detail, in a lot of detail.  So in brief, short, compact. In detail, a lot more.  And before I move on, just when youre using in detail, make sure that it is the single in detail.  Never in detailS.  Let me know the details. Thats perfect.   Tell me everything about it. What does it look like? I want to buy a car.   Well,  tell me the details, the price, the mileage, et cetera.  But when youre talking about them and meeting in detail,  means step by step. 12 Collocations with the Preposition In We continue learning English collocations with the preposition in. So the next one I have for you is IN EFFECT.And in effect means really?What it means is youll have to go back to that particular client and spell it out to him again. So really this is what I want you to do. Really. This is what it means. So in effect, and the next one is quite common.Im sure youve all heard of it IN FACT.And when we talk about in fact, we mean actually, yeah.In fact, what I mean is thisAnd the next one is IN GENERAL.In general means overall. Were not talking about something specific.Were talking about something a little bit more generalistic. In general, the people in the UK, are heavier than the people in Italy because they eat the wrong food. Its not the same.Everybody in the UK is heavier than everyone in Italy, but in general.And the next one is a really good one to use  IN MODERATION.People love to use this. Everything in moderation. Work in moderation, get work life balance, drinking in moderat ion, eating food in moderation. Dont drink too much, dont eat too much, dont work too much. Ah, in fact, dont do anything too much. Always do things in moderation and you get a nice balance in your life.The next one, we have two prepositions that we can use here IN ORDER OF, or IN ORDER TO.In order of, for example, in order of importance, so you rank things. Whats the most important?  In order to we can use, when we say, for example:In order to speed up administration, you no longer have to complete the form in triplicate.  So in order to achieve something, in order to cut down on the waking time, in order to make our service better.As I said before, in order of whatever it might be.Earlier on we spoke about in general.In general, which you said something not so specific. Now we have another one IN PARTICULAR.This is the exact opposite. So when you want to be really specific, you refer to something in particular.In particular, your second paragraph on the first page where you mentio ned.And the last one I have on this list is IN THEORYOh this is a wonderful expression because people love this. They know they dont have to be specific or they dont have to do it in practice.Well in theory, yeah youre right. But it never works that way. Oh, in theory this is what we meant. But in reality we do it another way. Thanks for listening and thats it for today.

We want to tell you about an ESL teaching program in Spain called theCultural Ambassadors Program. Run by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, this initiative hires up to 2,500 American and Canadian citizens to teach English in Spanish primary and secondary schools. During the program, you’ll work as an auxiliare de conversaciónâ€"or a conversation assistantâ€"meaning you’re an assistant language teacher.

Who is Eligible for the Cultural Ambassador Program? To be eligible for the Cultural Ambassador Program in Spain, you need to meet the following requirements: Canadian or American citizenship and a valid passport for that country.

Afterward, you must attach the following documents: A scanned copy of your Canadian or American passport’s main page. Your university transcript or copies of your degree(s) and/or diploma(s).

Cultural Ambassadors receive a modest monthly salary of €700 ($796 USD) in most Spanish cities. However, if you are working in Madrid, you may earn up to €1,000 ($1137 USD) per month. They also receive basic medical insurance, offered through Spain’s national healthcare system. While many Cultural Ambassadors live comfortably on their salaries, others opt to supplement their incomes by offering childcare services or private tutoring in English. The choice is ultimately yours! It’s also prudent to arrive in Spain with a few thousand dollars in savings. Does the Cultural Ambassador Program Cover Flights and Housing? No, successful applicants are responsible for covering the cost of their flights to Spain, along with paying the rental costs on accommodations. Cultural Ambassadors are also tasked with finding their own housing. If you can’t find accommodations prior to departing for Spain, we recommend staying at a hostel or with friends until you can find more permanent lodgings. Do I Have Other Options for Teaching English in Spain? Yes! Licensed teachers can teach English in private international schools, providing they have 2-3 years of teaching experience. Individuals without prior teaching experience can apply to paid volunteer positions in classrooms. Otherwise, Spanish parents often hire private English teachers for their children and numerous cities in Spain offer English language summer camps, which hire teachers. Regardless of the position you pursue, we strongly recommend earning your TEFL certificate before applying to teach English in Spain. Spain hires ESL teachers at various points throughout the year. The two peak months for hiring are September and January. Meanwhile, the English language summer camps begin to employ instructors in the springtime. Having a European Union passport makes it much simpler to find a teaching job in Spain. However, Canadians and other non-Europeans (with the exception of Americans) are sometimes successful at procuring working holiday visas. In rare instances, an international school may sponsor a work visa for non-EU teachers.

Gather Music Like a FiendBenefits of Listening to Music:Music is often our go-to when we think of foreign language audio, right? It’s catchy, its fun and it’s relaxing. If you’re a person who walks around with headphones on all  day, chances are you’re  already spending lots of your time listening to music.If you switch that music over to your target  language, think of the benefits!Its not time consuming. Youll get tons of practice listening to your target language and building comprehension skills, without taking any additional time out of your schedule. Listen on your commute, during errands or whenever else you already enjoy music.It wont drain you. You can listen for long periods of time without getting fatigued, like you might with talk radio or podcasts.It’s catchy. In your native language, that means getting a song stuck in your head. In your target language, that means memorization. You’ll listen to songs you like over and over, so you’ll effortlessly memorize stock phrases.It’s awesome for learning slang and other casual language.  Most music isn’t in that formal register textbooks use. You’ll learn how native speakers  really use their language.How to Find Target Language Music:Looking for foreign language music can be intimidatingâ€"how do you begin to find  songs and artists you like?Spotify  can be a  window to the world of music in your target language. Start with Spotify playlistsâ€"you can type your  target language in the search bar. (You can search either in the target language or in Englishâ€"you’ll get different results for each, but you’ll still get results!) Scroll down in the search bar and click Playlists for all the results.These playlists are user madeâ€"some cover specific genres, and some are pretty eclectic. Ive enjoyed listening to playlists such as  Mandarin Pop and German Top 100! You’ll have to do some listening up front to find what you l ike, but heyâ€"that’s just more target-language immersion for you! As youre listening, save the songs you like. Spotify will start recommending similar artists (often in the same language) on the artist page.If the playlists arent thrilling you, you can also check out Spotifys  Charts feature (under Browse) and listen to the top songs from a country that speaks your language.Next up, hit YouTube. Search for those Spotify artists youve enjoyed and check out YouTube’s recommendations in the sidebar to gather even more albums and artists in your target language. And dont forget that YouTube has a playlist feature, too. You can search for YouTube  playlists and top hits in your target language  to get more options and find music you wont be able to stop listening to.With these tools, you have no excuse not to have a plethora of target language music at your disposal. Rinse and repeat until you’re satisfied with your options! Hoard Those Native PodcastsBenefits of Listening to Podc asts:Podcasts are  such a convenient way to get valuable target-language listening time. Because they’re made for mobile devices, listening to them is just as effortless as it is with music. Podcasts, though, are generally comprised mostly of speech.Whether you’re listening to documentaries, interviews or fun talk shows, you’re getting all the language learning benefits  that come with immersing in native speech. Its a great way to familiarize yourself with common speech patterns, or to get acquainted with natural accents and improve your own.Basically, podcasts get you used to how normal, everyday people talk in your target language!How to Find Podcasts You Love:First, you’ll need a good bilingual dictionary in your target language.If you’re learning European languages, check out WordReference. For Chinese, check out LINE Dict and for Japanese try  Jisho. Look up words related to your hobbies or interests in your target language.For example, you might be interested in gar dening, video games, news and politics, business, travel or any number of other subjects! Translate the podcast topics you brainstorm and make a list of the new vocab you’re learning.Next, search for those target-language words in your podcast app of choice. You can use  Apple Podcasts, Overcast  or Pocket Casts (iOS/Android), to name a few. It’s best if you have lots of common interests to search for, because that increases your chances of finding interesting, high-quality podcasts!Here are some examples to get you started. If you like video games and you’re learning French, you might like Gamerside. NHK World offers news podcasts in a number of languages,  not just Japanese. And if it’s travel that gets you excited and you’re into Spanish, you can always check out Nómadas by RTVE!Another way to find target-language podcasts is to scroll to the bottom of iTunes (on your computerâ€"this doesnt work for the podcast app) and change the country. The podcast page will then au tomatically suggest popular podcasts in that countrys language, and you can download as usual. Just be aware that if English is widely used in the country where your language is spoken, you might have less luck with this method since popular podcasts may just be in English.When you’ve found a podcast youre interested in, make sure its current and subscribe so that you always have something new to listen to.Finally, keep an eye out for podcast networks that offer a number of podcasts from the same company (such as  RTVE  in Spanish or TBS Radio in Japanese). There’s a good chance that podcasts produced by the same company will be of similar quality.3. Don’t Forget Your Learning MaterialsBenefits of Listening to Learning Materials:When it comes to audio immersion, learning materials don’t have to be left out. Learning materials are things like textbook recordings and podcasts focused on learners (rather than media for native speakers). These are great for focusing on during co mmutes when your mind is free to take in new info.Because theyre intended for language learners, these materials are usually slower and include definitions or explanations. Youll be sure to pick up new  vocabulary and grammar! This can feel less intimidating than audio created for native speakers and can help keep you anchored in your listening. But learning materials always work best when combined with native materials like those listed above.How to Find Audio Learning Materials:Before you search too far, grab that audio CD or digital file that came with your textbook of choice. Upload those audio lessons to your phone for reviewing whenever you want! I find it’s best to re-listen to lessons you’ve already covered in a more studious  setting.Learning podcasts, such as the LanguagePod101 series or slow speech  podcasts such as  Slow Chinese and Slow German are easier to find than native speaker podcasts. You’ll get plenty of choices by simply searching for the language in Appl e Podcasts or Overcasts (if you’re using iTunes, you’ll have to scroll down for podcast results).iTunes U courses are another great option. iTunes U offers recorded university courses as well as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for those of us who prefer classroom-style tuition over short podcasts like LanguagePod101. For example, here are beginners’ Chinese and beginners’ German courses offered on iTunesU through the Open University.When searching on iTunes for courses, make sure you scroll through the results until you see the “iTunes U” heading. When you find something you like, you can download and listen to the audio to bring that classroom experience wherever you go!Finally, you can get even more learning materials through Spotify! Go to the Browse section on the left sidebar and then scroll down to the Word category. Here, you’ll find a number of playlists that include audio course materials. There are playlists for French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, German, Swedish, Irish, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian.If you have Spotify Premium, or if you’re listening on your computer, you’ll be able to listen to the playlist in order. If you’re out and away from your computer and  don’t have Spotify Premium, no worriesâ€"Spotify will let you listen to the playlist on shuffle, and you’ll get an interesting grab bag of lessons.If you bank up audio materials using the above suggestions, you’ll have a foreign language audio library for every occasion. You’ll never be bored and you’ll be that much closer to fluency!
