Listen Later

📚 Summer is over, school is back in session, and the Learn English Podcast is back as well! Because students across America have returned to the classroom, we decided to spend this episode focusing on the world of school-inspired vocabulary. Have you ever heard someone called a "teacher's pet" or talked about "acing" something? These phrases aren't just used in school—they're part of everyday conversations too. Whether you're a student or just curious, this episode will help you add some great vocabulary to your English.

🗣️In this episode, we’ll talk about different types of students you might know from school. For example, the "straight A student" who always gets the best grades or the "class clown" who loves to make everyone laugh. These expressions are common in school, but you can also use them in other situations. We’ll explain how, so you can use these phrases confidently in your own conversations.

🎧In addition to these sayings, the episode also covers important cultural concepts like grading systems, class rankings, and study habits. Don't miss this chance to improve your English with phrases that are both practical and fun. Plus, we’ve included a vocabulary list in the episode description to help you remember the new words. So, hit play, and let’s learn some English together!
