Get Phrasal Verbs Much More Than A List Of Prepositions Part 2 Ep 378

Learn Why Hair Matters While Learning How To Speak English Ep 376

When thinking about a topic for a new English lesson I often listen to what my friends are talking about or maybe my children and sometimes I seek our ideas from the current UK news? Itโ€™s important to me I find something contemporary, something that native English speakers are talking about today, using everyday English. Because the best content for a new English language learner to learn how to speak English fluently, is to listen to and use English thatโ€™s being spoken right now my millions of British people.
