(Scottish)).<br />Yet, the show is nice and the explanations are well worded and clear enough, with a bit of humour and awesome pronounciation of native speakers.) Moreover, it's rather short (2-3 mins or so). So, if you have some spare time, I recommend you enjoy the listening.)Wee Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821246341213002664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192325372478989443.post-61472445345391550922011-04-20T02:16:22.661+06:002011-04-20T02:16:22.661+06:00Oops, the answer must have been in the show which ...Oops, the answer must have been in the show which I didn't listen to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192325372478989443.post-89440541083696295062011-04-18T23:42:37.730+06:002011-04-18T23:42:37.730+06:00@Olga SE, hehe, that's my fault perhaps ( I me...@Olga SE, hehe, that's my fault perhaps ( I mean the definition of the word). But have you listened to the Radio show? They explain it well enough there, just click on the link, if you wish.))<br />Yes, you've got it right. WEE may both be used as an adjective - meanng "tiny", "little", "small" (that is why am Wee) and as a noun, meaning "a little kid"! E.g. When I was a wee = When I was a kid.))<br />Thanks for such a nice compliment, Olga!

I dare say, this is how it should be really: we are all in power of the proper upbringing of our "wee bairns". We should and must be responsible for the adequate upbringing which is not only giving birth to a baby to live some indefinite life, but the responsibility, first of all. It is not the school and teachers only to be in charge of the process of socialisation of a child, but the family, too. What young Moms and Dads tend to do nowadays is nothing but blaiming others.<br />Yet, of course, both parents and teachers should be aware of the possible negative effect of a variety of so called "bad social groups" under a spell of which a child may be.<br />We are ALL concerned!Wee Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821246341213002664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192325372478989443.post-46398484875860884562011-04-18T01:38:50.352+06:002011-04-18T01:38:50.352+06:00What is it to say?

Recently, I’ve heard the phrase, I liked it: “Let’s not missing smth that we can fix”. So, I believe that we are able to do smth in order to prevent such situations in our society when those old women would be right. It doesn’t have to happen with our children.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358560637186317702noreply@blogger.com
