195 - The Goose & The Golden Egg (+10 Advanced Adjectives)


Listen Later

Yesterday at the library with my girls, a lightbulb went off in my head 💡—fables aren’t just great for kids... they’re perfect for English learners too!

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into one of Aesop’s most famous tales: The Goose & The Golden Egg (or The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs). 🪿✨ It’s short, memorable, and it teaches a timeless lesson about greed—a perfect jumping-off point to learn advanced adjectives like:

- Greedy

- Selfish

- Inconsiderate

- Ungrateful

- Spoiled

- Entitled

- Gluttonous

- Materialistic

- Impatient

- Insatiable

Whether you want to describe people more accurately, express opinions more clearly, or just sound more natural when speaking English, this episode is packed with real-life vocabulary and pop culture examples (yes, Veruca Salt and Augustus Gloop make an appearance).
