In today's lesson, you'll learn 10 English phrases with the word ""start"". Click here for the lesson text: https://www.espressoenglish.net/10-fresh-phrases-with-the-english-word-start/ Sometimes the hardest thing about studying English is just sitting down and starting, right? You have to make time to do it... and then you have to search the whole internet to find something interesting to study. It's hard to start! My courses are designed to make it easy for you to start studying every day. The lessons are arranged in a logical sequence - so all you need to do is log in and begin :-) Also, each lesson is short, so it won't take up too much of your time. I focus on teaching you the most useful English words and phrases, not a bunch of stuff you don't need. If you've never taken an Espresso English course before, you might be wondering, ""Which course should I start with?"" Although there's no ""official order,"" my suggestion is to start with Everyday English Speaking. It's my most popular, practical course, focusing on the phrases and expressions that native speakers use. https://www.espressoenglish.net/everyday-english-speaking-course/
In this lesson, you will learn how to keep a conversation going, without running out of things to say! Here's an example of how NOT to have an English conversation: "Did you have a good weekend?" "Yes, I did. And you?" "Yeah." Unfortunately, the conversation stops here because there's no natural way to continue it. This is OK if you only want to have a quick conversation (for example, if you are quickly passing a co-worker in the hallway). But how can you have a longer conversation in English?

When you watch a TV show or movie in English, have you ever heard someone described as foxy, ripped, a brat, a munchkin, or an old fart? These are all slang words for types of people. In today's lesson, you'll learn what they all mean - as well as whether each one is offensive or OK.

Sometimes people ask me to explain in detail the difference between a collocation, a phrasal verb, an idiom, a slang word, a proverb, etc. To be honest, that's the wrong question. All of these types of expressions are part of the English language, but most native English speakers could NOT tell you the technical differences between them. The most important thing for an English learner is to know what they mean and how to use them. So today's lesson is a mix of idioms, phrasal verbs, and collocations with the word ""set"" - all with examples so you can see them in use!
