Show notes

*A January Past Favourite Episode*

This week your English teacher hosts Jennifer from the US and Dan from England are chatting all about public transport; buses, trains, trams and the metro / subway / underground. What’s the public transport system like in your country? Do you ever use it? Chances are that when you’re in an English speaking country you’ll be taking a ride on public transport at some point and so this week’s language focus, by focusing on relevant words and phrases, will help you navigate the process successfully. We hope you enjoy the journey!

Show notes

*A January Past Favourite Episode*

Hello! No, we’re not talking about animals that we hate this week :) A pet hate is something that most people don’t mind but you find really annoying; for example, people eating loudly, tapping their fingers on the table or maybe speaking loudly on their phones. Your hosts Jennifer and Dan chat about their pet hates (they have lots!) as well as things they do that drive their partners crazy. The language focus this week is all about phrases you can use when you find yourself in these difficult situations and are not sure what to say.

Enjoy!
