To shout at someone


To yell at someone

If you speak very loudly to someone who is near to you, for example because you are angry with them, don't say that you 'shout to' them. Say that you shout at them. The captain shouted at him, 'Get in! ... If you shout to someone to do something, or shout at them to do it, you tell them to do it by shouting.

TO SHOUT AT SOMEONE

If you shout at someone, you’re angry. So in the middle of an argument between two people, you might hear one of them say:“It wasn’t my fault, why are you shouting at me?”or“Why do you always shout at me for no reason?

TO SHOUT TO SOMEONE

If you shout to someone, you want to attract their attention maybe because they’re far or can’t see you. For instance, you might be walking and suddenly see a friend of yours across the street and to attract their attention you shout to them.“I was on my way to the library when I saw Mark across the street, I tried shouting to him but he didn’t hear me”.Another verb that behaves like ‘shout’ is ‘throw’. Have a look at these examples:“Mark threw the ball to me” >> in this instance, Mark just passed me the ball for me to catch it.“Mark threw the ball at me (and hurt my eye)” >> in this case Mark was mean and wanted to hit me!

My biggest challenges in English learning are the phrasal verbs and their nasty prepositions at this level, these days.

What is Consistency?

Dictionary.com defines consistency as, the steadfast adherence to the same principles, course, or form. (Source)A quote from John Maxwell’s book, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, mentions that “Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time”. (Source)Consistency, therefore, is the difference between failure and success.Neel Raman, a leadership trainer and coach states, “consistency develops discipline and self-control”. Self-control is essential because this helps us stay on track. (Source)Consistency creates powerful neural networks in the brain, these networks help the brain enhance concentration on a task or goal. Consistency is used in the journey towards achieving goals. In line with this, the unyielding will to prosper is just as important.Persistence and consistency are fundamental in fostering success. Successes in life bring about stability.Stability helps a person feel as if they have full control, which enables them to work more efficiently, and consistency in action is the key to a stable life.

Practice Consistency As A Skill

Of all the areas you can focus on in your training, the single one that yields the biggest results is consistency. Whatever your training goals, consistency is important across the board in achieving them. This article focuses specifically on the most common goals of building muscle and burning fat, but the principle applies to all aspects of training.


To train consistently, you will have to train when you don’t want to, when you’re injured, and when you’re tired. But working around these obstacles with a balanced approach will keep you motivated and moving forward. Too often we all put the brakes on training due to injury or tiredness. Yes, you must take time to rest, and should follow proper injury rehab protocol, but don’t use it as an excuse to opt out of training altogether. Ask yourself, is that voice in your head protecting you, or are you just making excuses? We are the “Intsa” generation. We want everything now. Our movies, music, news, and even our fitness goals. We’re told to do weights and cardio at the same time, that HIIT workouts will solve everything, and CrossFit is the way. Take the blue pill and you’ll lose 10 pounds! Eat no carbs, eat loads of protein, eat fat, don’t eat fat. So much of the advice we get is extreme and only sustainable in the short term, but true gains in fitness take time and consistency. Whether it’s muscle gain, fat loss, or learning a new skill, be prepared to put the work. It will be rewarding, and if you can learn to enjoy the process, there is a much better chance of achieving your goals and maintaining at that level for longer. What Does Consistency Do for You?When you train consistently, you give your body a more gradual curve to adapt to the stress of training, easing its way to higher levels of fitness. The longer period of time you develop a base of fitness, the less effect an interruption of training has. There is a common trend of doing something different all the time, going for the latest training method or exercise. But this hinders building the vital consistent base. Too much variety and variability can result in a reverse of adaptations, rather than greater gains. Consistency occurs in the small areas. Focus on the day by day, session by session, and meal by meal. It’s a skill that needs to be worked on and applied daily. Working on it on a daily basis also makes it easier to manage when you mess up. Make a bad food choice? Make a good one the next meal, and you’re back on track. Bad training session? No problem, you have another session tomorrow to do better.



The more infrequently you train, the greater the importance is placed on each session. Your inconsistency leads to too much stress, as you try to make up for the missed sessions by doing extra hard training. These hard sessions will not make up for the missed training, and could potentially lead to overstressing the body, resulting in a decrease in performance, injury, illness, and further missed sessions. By contrast, when you train consistently, you don’t need to go all out each session. There is more room and flexibility for variation in intensity. There is even room for outright bad sessions. You have more opportunity to try different set and rep schemes, and different exercises. Your sessions can be shorter, which is less stressful and gives you more time outside the gym to live life. Consistency enables increases in skill and technical proficiency, as you spend more time working on these areas. Obstacles to Consistency, and Some SolutionsYour kids’ birthdays, work, holidays, and the rest of life will always try to throw you off track. You need to accept that there will always be something that life throws up that will get in the way of your training. Don’t use these as excuses. Have backup workouts to go to if your energy is low or you’re short on time. Go shorter, or just do bodyweight, or a little skill work, but don’t skip the workout. Consistent short, targeted, and intense workouts are far better than irregular 1-2 hour workouts.



Do your best to get ahead of the curve by planning ahead. Have some pre-made meals in the freezer. Always have a few key ingredients in your cupboard, so you can rustle up a quick meal, and have a few go-to meals you can make with your eyes closed. Cook for two nights instead of one. It’s the same prep, cooking and cleaning time. Keep spare workout gear in your place of work or in your car so you don’t get to the gym and realize you forgot it. Get up earlier and train in the morning before your day starts, and you won’t be frazzled from a full day in the office. If you leave the session till the end of the day, all your willpower will have been used up and you won’t train. Allow yourself to be human in your training. The perfection mindset breeds failure. When real life happens and things aren’t so perfect, people who think this way throw in the towel fast. Don’t strive for perfection all the time. Stop waiting for the perfect time to train, to start a new program. Focus on the now, start now. You can change in the now. You haven’t got control over achieving perfection, but you do have control of what you do now. Get out of the mindset that if you don’t have access to a gym, you can’t train. The world is your gym. Do a set of push ups at work. Get a pull up bar at home. You don’t need to be in gym gear and in the gym to train. Train at home first thing in the morning. You can get a lot done in a few minutes. Add new movements and challenges to keep things fun. Variety also prevents injury from over-trained muscles. You still need to build that solid base, but once that is in place you can add in some variety. For example, choose handstand push ups instead of military presses. Both are vertical pressing exercises, but handstand push ups are way more fun! Consistency creates momentum, and vice versa. Pick a number of training sessions per training block to help build momentum. It’s much easier to build on 10 sessions than 2 sessions. By just adding one more you’ve hit 11 sessions. Keep building! Nobody Said It Would Be EasyConsistency results in adaptability, which you can fall back on physically and mentally during challenging periods or as a result of interruption. If there is no consistency in your training, there will be little or no foundation for an adaptive response. To produce a given training goal or objective, training needs to be consistent and regular. Not being consistent in your training will lead to losses, not gains. Life is going to get in the way. Some days, you’re going to be tired, the session will seem too hard, and you’re not going to want to train. Accept these obstacles as a fact of life and training, but don’t use them as an excuse. Consistency matched with quality workouts, good recovery, and a balanced diet equals results.

3 proven ways to Stay consistent, meet your goals and realize your dreams

After years of running my own small business and observing successful people, I’ve come to one important observation about the true key to success: Be consistent. The entrepreneurs and leaders who show up every day, display their best selves day-in and day-out, year after year -- those are the successful ones.In the same way that empires are built brick by brick, financial prosperity is created dollar by dollar and fitness is achieved one bicep curl at a time, consistency is what makes great men and women. So, how do you develop an innate ability to stick with it? How do you grow this essential habit of success when you’re struggling just to keep things steady?Here are three tricks of the trade for staying consistent in all areas of your life.1. Start by segmenting.Segmenting your day is a key aspect of successfully preparing for it. The alternative -- thinking of everything you need to do -- can easily lead to your feeling overwhelmed and helpless; for most of us mere mortals, such overkill may also cause you to crash and burn as you descend into the destructive attitude of “why bother”?Instead, when you segment your day, you you separate your actions into small chunks and focus only on the mini-goals of each segment. In her book, Success Under Stress: Powerful Tools for Staying Calm, Confident, and Productive when the Pressure's on, Sharon Melnick suggested this practice, encouraging readers to segment days or even weeks into time periods devoted to only one activity.For example, you might block out calendar segments on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to return clients' calls or pursue new business. This will keep you positively focused on actions to move you toward your goals, while helping you to avoid those feelings of fear that can paralyze us in the face of "everything that needs to get done." At the end of each segment (you may want to time them, with meeting reminders or alarms), acknowledge how much you got done and note where you ended; then let that segment be done and gracefully transition to the next one. You’ll never get it all done, but segmenting can create productivity bursts in a dependable manner. Keep showing up with your best self to the next segment and you’ll be in good shape for realizing your aspirations.2. Leverage the power of systems.If consistency is one of the biggest keys to success, then systems are the skeleton key that unlocks every door! In The E-Myth Revisited, author Michael Gerber summed up this point perfectly, writing, “The true product of a business is not what it sells but how it sells it. The true product of a business is the business itself . . . a systems-dependent business, not a people-dependent business.”Systems allow you to leverage your and other people’s time and to tweak and form a truly repeatable business strategy. When you develop systems in your day, your life and your business, you take yourself out of the rat race of trying to do it all and instead replace the madness with order and harmony.You can plug people in and out of that system and the wheel will keep turning. Suddenly, employee turnover won't seem so overwhelming. Time off from the office will be possible and space will begin to open up in your mind.Probably the most influential step you can take toward creating a consistent practice of success is to invest in the systems that make your business, and your life, run like a well-oiled machine. Don’t work at your business; work on your business by developing effective systems to take you out of the maddening loop.3. Hold yourself accountable, with help.We all plateau. It’s frustrating but also a normal part of life. The key to bursting through ceilings, be they mental, physical or financial, is to hold yourself accountable. That doesn't mean accountable for doing it all, but accountable for getting help.For entrepreneurs, help can come in many forms. You can leverage the power of a mastermind group. You can utilize the power of a mentor to help structure and grow you past your current standpoint. You may even have the money and ability to hire help, be it a virtual assistant, staff member or other valuable member of your success team.Regardless of the form help takes, make it a priority to get some this year. You’ll be surprised by how much further and faster a little help can take you as you struggle to stay consistent and realize your dreams.

Hello Mr Davoud Ahmadi and all dear membres of the international English chat


Thank you for the invitation.


I like the idea of having oral communications instead of textual conversions and written communication.


I accept the invitation and take it as a challenge to push myself to be more active and more productive here & take some steps to improve my English skills.



The idea of teaching the English phonetics is really awsome, especially comparing the vowel sounds of English to the other languages. Indeed, phonology is one my favorite filelds of study in any language.


I have a suggestion, we can divide our phonetics tips in to two sections, British English accent & American English accent.


As far as I know you're expert in British English accent, I can cooperate in the American English section, ofcourse if I can be of use.


I can help with the American English section if you find it useful
