Hello everyone, and welcome to Your English Update, a podcast by EZOnlineEnglish.
I’m Sahara, your teacher, and you are listening to the special review episode of Season 1. We learned over forty different expressions in the first nine episodes, so let’s take some time to review all of them. For this lesson, we suggest listening while you are on your commute, cleaning the house, or even making lunch! We will provide you with the expressions, the translation, and then some time to say the expression yourself. I encourage you to try and repeat after me because practice makes perfect! Are you ready? Okay, let’s go!
