"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me". Maybe- but what about a word that has ten different meanings, like stick?
In Episode #104, Tim focuses first on the different parts of trees (because why not?), and then on the many meanings of the word stick, as a noun, verb and adjective. Listen to learn all ten meanings so you can express yourself and understand others in more detail.

Stative verbs. Irregular verbs. Modal verbs. Semi-modal verbs. Auxiliary verbs... and so on. In Episode 103, Tim explains these verb types (and many more) and how to use them. If you want to understand just one verb type or all of them, Episode 103 is the best place to start.

THE CHEWING GUM ACCENT
You understand your English teacher in the classroom, and maybe the BBC. But what about English spoken by native speakers in the real world, or in movies and on TV? That's a lot more difficult- in those situations, native speakers speak more quickly. But HOW are they able to speak so quickly? The answer is- they change the pronunciation of words and phrases so that they are easier to say. Sounds change, mix and even disappear. It's not magic- it's rules.
In Episode 102, Tim returns to the topic of these real world pronunciations, called CHEWING GUM pronunciation, and gives you the basics needed to understand them, and future episodes on the same topic.
