Subscriber-only episode

E80: Ever wondered why people say "how's things" instead of "how are things"? Curious about phrases like "hit it off" or "is that a silly question"? Today's episode is just the ticket for you. We're navigating the sea of English phrases, focusing on words and expressions used in the previous episode where I had a chat with Martin from Rock n' Roll English about the changing face of the British high street.

We examine what these phrases mean, how they're used, and why we even us natives say things incorrectly sometimes! From "being a lightweight" and "being middle-aged" to "pluck up the courage", we take a microscope to the colloquialisms that pepper our everyday conversations. And remember, we always love hearing your thoughts and feedback, so don't hesitate to get in touch after tuning in.
