5 English Expressions for Strong Desires
About this episode
This is a short, daily podcast for intermediate to advanced English learners who want to build natural British English vocabulary through story.
In this first episode, we meet Gabriel, a young French graduate on the brink of a big adventure. Sitting in his childhood bedroom at his parents’ home in France, he reflects on his plans, his doubts, and a long-held dream of travelling to the UK.
As the story unfolds, you’ll hear authentic British English used naturally, that you can use when talking about new experiences, first impressions, and stepping into the unknown.
This episode sets the scene for the journey ahead and introduces the story-led learning style that runs throughout the series.
🎙️ New episodes are released Monday to Friday.
