This episode of English with Dane is my answer to one of the questions people ask me the most: "What is my English level?"

It's something I've been thinking about a lot recently and thought it would be a good time to talk about it. I hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for listening,DaneInstagram @englis...

Today's episode is a conversation with my friend and fellow English teacher Pierre. I met Pierre a few years ago through another friend, and we got along (nos llevamos bien) right away.

The idea for this episode came from a listener who asked me to clear up the difference between lose and loose because she was having some issues using them.

This episode was my mom's idea but she has a good point. There are a bunch of adjectives that are really easy to use that can help you express yourself more elegantly. This is a list that focuses on 10 of those. Specifically, those that start with the prefix "un" and that might give students a hard time. Take out a pen and paper and make a note of a few of these adjectives to enrich your vocabulary and day-to-day speech!Follow English with Dane on Instagram for quizzes and extra content
