Do Not Ask These Questions in an English Conversation Feb 25, 2023

Show notes

In this English lesson I'll help you learn about questions that you should never ask in English. There are certain questions that are considered rude or inappropriate in English (an in many other languages!) if asked in the wrong situations. Some questions are never asked, and others have their own time and place so it's important to be aware of them.
It's important as an English learner to know when a question is impolite, rude, or considered an invasion of privacy. If someone wants to share personal information with you, they will do so on their own time, and it might be considered prying for you to ask.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about questions you should never ask! Have a great day!

Learn English Through Stories - An English Comprehension Lesson Feb 18, 2023

Learning English through stories can be really fun! In this English lesson I'm going to tell two stories about my life when I was younger. One of the stories will be a lie, and the other one will be true. Take your time and use this video for English listening practice. Listen to each story a couple of times and then try and figure out which one is true.
Once you've figured this out, watch the rest of the lesson and I'll reveal which story actually happened.
