Today we learn how to spice up your English conversations with this English vocabulary lesson. Let’s be honest, nobody wants to be boring or perceived as boring! So how do you move on from a limited but practical English vocabulary to an interesting vocabulary? Well, you pick the words you are likely to use the most in everyday conversations, and you learn synonyms for them. For example, in lesson 498 we took the word “Good”, a word you will probably use all the time when speaking English, and we elaborated that into more interesting and engaging alternative list words. Today we do the same for the adjective “Big”, and as usual we will give lots of explanations and examples to help you with when to best use the alternatives!

When learning to speak English clearly, tongue twisters are great practice. Tongue twisters will help you master the art of correct diction by exercising the intricate muscles in your mouth. This type of exercise forces you to slow down and think about how you are going to shape your mouth to achieve the sounds you need. Tongue twisters are difficult but can also be fun. If you're watching on YouTube or Spotify, then you also get to see me struggling to say them.
