How to Describe HOT Weather in English! 🌞 Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

As you learn English you'll want to know how to describe the weather. In this English lesson I'll help you learn how to describe hot weather in English. There are many types of weather, but it's hot here right now, so I thought this would be a great time to tell you about it. After all, talking about the weather is a form of small talk in English, so you'll want to master it!
There are many phrases for describing hot weather. Many of them are, believe or not, related to the kitchen. Cooking involves heat, so we've borrowed some words and phrases from the kitchen to talk about hot weather as well.
In this English lesson I'll be sure to teach phrases like, "It's a hot one!" and "It's like an oven out there!" and many more!
I think you'll enjoy this English lesson about describing hot weather!

99 Examples of the Verb TO GET May 19, 2021

Show notes

Many of you have asked for an English lesson on how to use the verb TO GET in different sentences. I've been trying to write a script for an English lesson for a while now on this topic, and finally finished it and was able to record it today. I wanted to do it in one sitting (one take), but it ended up being two. It was hard to remember all the sentences I wanted to use!
As an English learner you've probably heard the verb TO GET a lot! In this English lesson you'll hear 99 examples of how to use this word in English. I'll admit some of the examples are repeats, but hey, repetition is a great way to learn an English concept!
So here it is. 7 straight minutes of me talking and using the verb TO GET 99 times! All of the sentences used are correct informal English and are very common in everyday speech. I hope you enjoy this English lesson on the word GET. I do speak rather quickly, so you might need to turn on the word-for-word English subtitles or use the transcript.
If you enjoyed this English class please share it with everyone you know! Thanks I appreciate it! Transcript is right here:
