Hey! Today is Saturday, time for #s2s_frequent_errors focus.

At S2S, we observe speaking and networking sessions where buddies converse freely without a teacher. After each session, we review their interactions, correct any mistakes, and send personalized feedback reports. You can see one of such corrections on the screenshot.

A common error: confusing "another" with "the other" when speaking about something different or additional.

Notice the difference:

🔹 Another = ‘one more’ or ‘any other one’.

Example:

I'll have another slice of that pizza (1 more from many) 🍕🍕🍕🍕

🔹 The other = the second of two things or people:

Example:

I have two apples: one is red, the other is green 🍎🍏

Now, quizz time below

As S2S users’ve talked about Product Hunt and products that make ©️ollaboration easier, we’ve asked our homie chat GPT to play Sam Altman and output his answers to the question:

❓'What is the most used app on your phone?'

Here’s what we’ve got:

What is the most used app on your phone?

The app I use the most on my phone is SLACK.
It seamlessly connects me with my team and collaborators no matter where I am, making it easier to stay on top of projects effortlessly. I appreciate how its design is built with simplicity in mind — every notification and message is organized in a way that feels both intuitive and efficient.

I remember a particular day when we were in the middle of a product launch and faced a sudden technical challenge. Even while I was on the go, Slack allowed me to jump into a dedicated channel, exchange quick insights, and help steer the team toward a solution without missing a beat. That experience truly demonstrated how this app empowers me to work seamlessly across different time zones and locations.

In short, Slack isn’t just an app — it’s an essential tool in my daily routine that ensures I remain connected and responsive, no matter where innovation takes me.

Routines

For Russian speakers, ‘routine’ is associated with something boring and tiresome. In the English speaking world, ‘routine’ doesn’t carry this negative meaning. It’s a neutral word to speak about everyday actions that help you to start or finish your day or an activity. There are morning routines, evening routines, end of the lesson routines, and bedroom routines — to each his own.

This week, we learn to speak about those rituals that help you stay cool and grounded 😎 no matter what else is going on around you. You’ll pick up key vocabulary and sharpen your pronunciation.

TO 🫡AST — to fast means to NOT eat food for a certain period of time.

Example:

Fasting, especially intermittent fasting (IF), has been quite popular in Silicon Valley for years. Many tech entrepreneurs and biohackers see it as a way to improve focus, energy levels, and longevity (living longer).

Phrase of the day

🧐 TO STAY ALERT — to stay alert means to be awake and pay attention to what is happening around you.

Example:

Taking sleep aids such as Ambien doesn’t help staying alert.

Back in 2018, Musk admitted that he was taking Ambien, which some people speculated led to his late-night, chaotic tweets — like the time he tweeted he was taking Tesla private at $420 per share. This caused a massive stir, got him in trouble with the SEC, and even led to Tesla’s board reportedly trying to limit his Twitter use.

It’s a classic case of not staying alert when it matters most. Moral of the story? Maybe don’t mix business with Ambien… or at least stay away from Twitter while doing it.

To 🔠EAVE LITTLE ROOM FOR (chilling) — not to have time/patience/resources for (chilling)

Example:

Tech giants thrive on data, but their own privacy? They leave little room for their own privacy. Employees at big firms have shared stories of company surveillance, where even their Slack messages or badge swipes are tracked. Ironically, the people building privacy tools sometimes have the least of it themselves!
