Yes, you already know how to cross the street. You don’t need an English lesson for that. But what about understanding the language on a crosswalk sign?
Watch the short video explanation below. It could save your life someday!

Never I use to cross the street right when I was a young boy.
Traffic did not exist along the streets so it was easy, you cross
to short the way you have to walk or for going some place as
fast as possible.
The bad habits is inside our mind, people of my age, so even
now I look to the left and watch if some cars are coming, then
being in the middle I have seen also if there are cars coming
in the other side.
No cars? i cross the street if is one of the surroundings and
I am in a hurry.
Very bad, bad bad, but nearly everybody do the same when no cars
are coming despite the light is red.
Sorry, but I am sincere and it is my fault of course.
I did not do that if it is a traffic´s street where thousand of cars goes from
one side and the other.
Waiting for the green light and crossing fast because the green is too short
to some people who could have any difficulty, it is a shame but is true too.
Thank you Jeff, tomorrow I am listening to the lesson as now it is one past ten
a.m, and I have to go to bed.
It is sure that I could learn something. emiliano
Hi,
Difficult to cross the street with so, so many cars and noise.
We have only traffic lights without explanations how to cross the street.
So, thank you for your useful explanations.
All the best for you,
Tania
Hi,
Thank you for the explanation of the phrase “Ditto”.
I have heard using it on TV.
Hi,
Yes, autumn-time is coming…
Autumn-time is coming
“Orange leaves falling
Orange leaves falling
On the ground
On the ground
Autumn-time is coming
Autumn-time is coming
All around
All around.”
Hi,
I have just read about the earthquake that hit Mexico with a magnitude
of 8 yesterday. What is frightened is that all recently quakes have a very high
magnitude. I do not want to think about what can happen with my country
with such a high magnitude.
Hi,
I’d like a BITCOIN topic.
Hi,
“When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes,
It gives the bright leaves wings –
When autumn wind goes running.”
Autumn Wind
Hi,
It seems to be something childish these nursery rhymes…
but we can learn a lot from them.
For instance , “the bright leaves wings”…
Wing means and flying.
Good morning, today is sunday and summer is finishing. I am very concern about what is happening in the Caribbean countries and Florida.
The same with the earth wake in Mexico.
It seems there are only bad news, what is happening with this world?.
It has been always the same? or seems to me it is even worst than usual.
Here in Spain every body is talking about the same question, Cataluña, it is so
boring for the rest of the Spanish people, me too of course.
Loving poems Tania, I missed them when you were out
Autumn-time is coming
“Orange leaves falling
Orange leaves falling
On the ground
On the ground
Autumn-time is coming
Autumn-time is coming
All around
All around.”
And the others too.
At least you give us some fresh air to let our problems
falls like leaves that Autumn takes far away from our
sad souls.
Thank you Tania and best wishes to you my dear friend.

Hi,
Listening to the English Cafe 593 again …
To me, one of the most beautiful songs Unchained Melody of
The Righteous Brothers. I know this melody from Elvis Presley’s
repertory.
