Episode 19 - The Back of 2020: A New Year's Ramble
A New Year's ramble and 10 natural English expressions. This episode is in two parts: In part one, I talk naturally and without a script. This is your chance to listen to ungraded, natural English (and my weird innermost thoughts). In part two, I talk you through 10 of the most interesting natural English phrases, idioms, pronunciation strategies and communication strategies I used in part one. In this episode, you will learn: - strategies to correct yourself; - how to use auxiliaries to sound natural; - new English phrases like "see the back of" and "every man and his dog"; - how to be less specific and more general; - strategies to use when you're not sure of your facts; - how to understand some tricky English pronunciation. All of this to bring you one step closer to understanding the messy world of “real world” English.
