Hello, my friends! How have you been? I am excited to announce that today is the second anniversary of LEfF (Learning English from Friends). This is my 277th post. Time does fly, don’t you think?

Over the past two years, I have done my best to share my experiences learning new expressions. Most of the expressions that I have written here are the ones that would not be taught in English as a Second Language class but still used by many American people. I really hope my blog has been a helpful resource for all of non-native English speakers out there.

Let me start with talking about top five most popular posts.

1. black sheep

2. I really appreciate it

3. native American vs native to America

4. bun in the oven

5. what is your brownie point?

I would like to congratulate all of the friends who taught these top five posts (Brian, Jeff, Andrew, Jean, Alex, Sangeetha and Ari). Speaking of these five, I just realized that my sister-in-law has a bun in the oven. It’s been five months. Let me take a moment to congratulate her and her husband!

LEfF has gotten about 85,000 page views (3,541 per month and 117 per day) in two years and they are from 170 countries. That means LEfF got attractions from almost 90% of the earth. That is amazing, isn’t it? Here are some of the country names that I have never heard of : Djibouti, Guernsey, Martinique,… The list goes on and on.

How about top five countries? Here is the list.

1. United States

2. United Kingdom

3. South Korea

4. Canada

5. Japan

Hey, I have another interesting statistic. Do you know what is the number one browser people have used to get to LEfF? It is not Internet Explorer. It is Firefox. Thank God! Please stop using Internet Explorer. It is horrible. Chrome is the third browser but not far behind IE. You can use Chrome. 🙂 In fact, it is my default browser and I like it a lot.

What else? Oh.. it shows that readers use 105 different languages. My analysis is that people do want to learn new English expressions online.

Thank you all for your visits and support! Because of you, I am so happy to come back to my desk to write new interesting expressions. Don’t worry! It will keep updated. There are so many out there that I still do not know or have never heard of. It is like going down the rabbit hole every day.

Please share new posts with your friends so that many people get to have a chance to learn new ones.

See you soon!
