Welcome to the Winning English podcast - the audio version of the Winning English email newsletter - helping your English shine through the use of idioms, slang, and cultural references! Today, a short story about difficult times and having fun.
Winning English is intended for intermediate to advanced English language learners. Native speakers often use idioms, slang, and references in their business and everyday speech. But these can be confusing, because often the meaning isn’t clear. Winning English is the solution. Improve your comprehension - and even start sounding like a native speaker - by mastering these complex parts of speech.
