In this English lesson I'll help you learn the English equivalent of some very common things that kids say. This lesson is based on my own experience as a dad. Jen and I have 5 kids, and I think we've heard it all!

I thought I would come up with a list of the 5 most common things we hear. These are questions or statements that our kids have said over the past years, and continue to say now.

As an English learner you'll be able to learn these common phrases quickly and I hope they help you in your next conversation!

Have a great day!

In this English lesson I'll help you learn about questions that you should never ask in English. There are certain questions that are considered rude or inappropriate in English (an in many other languages!) if asked in the wrong situations. Some questions are never asked, and others have their own time and place so it's important to be aware of them.

It's important as an English learner to know when a question is impolite, rude, or considered an invasion of privacy.  If someone wants to share personal information with you, they will do so on their own time, and it might be considered prying for you to ask.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson about questions you should never ask! Have a great day!

Learning English through stories can be really fun! In this English lesson I'm going to tell two stories about my life when I was younger. One of the stories will be a lie, and the other one will be true. Take your time and use this video for English listening practice. Listen to each story a couple of times and then try and figure out which one is true.

Once you've figured this out, watch the rest of the lesson and I'll reveal which story actually happened.

Learning English through stories is a great way to learn English! Trying to figure out which story is true is also good practice because it forces you to really understand what you have heard.

I hope you enjoy this English lesson!
