5 + 1 Words In English, Every Day: In the bathroom, measuring time
(108-109.) (Español aquí) The idea is to incentivize people to learn some words in English every day. Learning only five words daily means 1825 words a year. Not enough to speak very well, but it can be a good start. Much better than doing nothing. Do you know somebody who needs to begin to learn English? Some relatives or friends? Please give them this simple lessons.

Foreigners are also confused sometimes with the time measuring system in the USA and some other countries. Other time zones, or hours before midday (AM) and after midday (PM) etc. (More about USA measuring units in lessons 103 and 107.) We visit every day the bathroom, what happens if you forget your toothpaste on your trip or there is no soap in the bathroom?
I suggest the use of the Duolingo mobile phone application to learn simple sentences.

How to use it?
You find the words always in Spanish and German. The Google link takes you to the Google Translator, where you can set your desired language (above the right side box) to be able to get the meaning in many other languages.
Below the left box, the speaker sign gives you the important pronunciation, the voice sample. Another choice is the other link to the Free Dictionary, with voice samples in both American English and British English versions. The reader should also pronounce the word himself/herself, several times, not only listen to it.
